I'm excited about this project, but I have concerns about the scalability of using a blockchain for this.

How do you plan on handling data storage and retrieval? Will it be on a blockchain?

What programming language will you be using for this project?
user8 2 years ago next
That's a good choice. Solidity is popular for smart contracts and Javascript is great for the frontend.

I've tried some other decentralized social media platforms, and I've found them to be slow and difficult to use.

Usability is definitely a concern for us as well. We're working on making the user interface intuitive and easy to use.

I'm interested in the potential for this type of platform to promote freedom of speech and avoid censorship.
user17 2 years ago next
That's definitely one of the goals of this project. We want to promote an open and censorship-resistant platform.

Will this platform support videos and images, or just text posts?
user19 2 years ago next
We're planning on supporting videos, images, and more types of media content in addition to text posts.

Will there be any moderation on this platform, or will it be completely decentralized?
user23 2 years ago next
There will be a decentralized moderation system where users can vote on the validity of posts and comments.
