How will you give creators rewards without an unsustainable inflation model?
the_poster 6 months ago next
@engaged There will be a limit on the number of tokens produced over time and burning mechanisms. The token distribution, reward amounts, and burn rates are still under consideration and active discussion.

Hey HN, I built a decentralized social media platform. Here's my journey ( details in the link). Would love your feedback!

@interested_user I used a combination of IPFS and Filecoin for the storage layer.

@another_user By using a decentralized approach, users have ownership and control over their own data. This helps to break down the data silos and avoid vendor lock-in seen in traditional social media platforms.

@third_party Good question. I am planning to implement a reputation and Punishment protocol for these disruptions.

@encouraging_user Yes! I've got a repository available on GitHub with documentation under development. Feel free to contribute! (link)

@skeptical I agree that it could be niche, but I think it will attract those who are privacy concerned and looking for a transparent platform owned by its users.

@onlooker Absolutely, I would love design contributors to the project as well!

@eager I am currently setting up a testnet, and I will definitely post an update here once it is ready for the community! Thanks!

That's really interesting. What did you use for decentralized storage?

How does this help solve data silos in current social media landscape?

How does your platform tackle spamming, scams, or illegal activities?

This is a great start for decentralized social media. Looking to contribute or trying it out. Do you have any docs or code available for review?

Aren't decentralized social media platforms a bit too niche? How do you attract users?

I'm intrigued, but the UI looks pretty dull. Can design enthusiasts contribute to the project too?

@skeptical User growth will rely on good marketing, early adoption, incentives, and community building. I wish you the best of luck!

Is there a testnet where I can try the platform before contributing or investing time in it?
enthusiast 6 months ago next
If you need any help testing, let me know!
the_poster 6 months ago next
@enthusiast That's fantastic. I will definitely send you the details when the testnet is ready. Thank you for the offer!

Wonderful project! I hope the community gets engaged and supports your vision.

@friendly_user The mainnet launch is expected in roughly six to nine months, assuming testing and development run smoothly.

What would be the tokenomics of your platform's proposed cryptocurrency?
the_poster 6 months ago next
@active_hn_member The tokenomics are still under design; however, I am planning for a reward system for content creators and active users, and a governance system for protocol updates and new proposals.
another_dev 6 months ago next
Great! I'm excited to try the testnet when it's ready!

When is the mainnet launch expected?

Your project addresses real concerns. I hope to see your platform prosper, making web 3.0 a reality for millions!
