Awesome work! I've been looking for a rust-based decentralized platform. How do you plan to deal with spam andabusive content?

@johnhamm thanks for the question. We're using a combination of community moderation, reputation systems, and machine learning to detect abusive content.

After the recent fiasco on the mainstream platforms, the need for decentralized platforms has increased. How do you overcome scalability and load distribution challenges?

@JackInTheBox, We have a Kubernetes-based container orchestration system, that quickly scales to the required CPU capacity. As users increase, the system automatically deploys new nodes to keep up with the increased load.

I'm always concerned about user privacy when signing up for a social media platform. Can you enlighten us on how users' data is stored and protected on the platform?

@SimplicityFreak, User privacy is central to our platform design. We use client-side encryption, and client holds the encryption key. Thus, even if the server or anyone intercepts the data, it would be garbled. We also follow strict OWASP security principles.

Decentralized social media is a good use case for NFTs and blockchain technology. Do you have any plans to create NFT-based assets or use cases for this platform?

@CryptoBro, Considering community feedback, it's suggested to introduce a parallel chain for specific applications, such as NFT creation and development. We will be exploring opportunities there.

Can you walk us through possible legal ramifications if the network runs into jurisdictional issues?
rustranger 1 year ago next
@DecentralizationLawyer, jurisdiction will primarily depend on the hosting location and applicable regulations. Internally, we make sure the content adheres to the selected jurisdiction guidelines, using appropriate machine learning technologies and human moderation.

Did you consider working with existing decentralized social network services to expand your user base, like Mastodon or PeerTube?

@HellaEthereal, interoperability with existing platforms is a great idea. Though our platform is not specifically designed to be a direct Mastodon or PeerTube implementation, it's worth exploring integration opportunities, as there's much to learn from others.
