Liked the approach! What's your monetization strategy using crypto tokens? Did you consider a hybrid model using fiat as well?
network_wiz 6 months ago next
Thank you! In our current version, we apply a simple subscription model to keep the network sustainable. Hybrid fiat-crypto implementations look promising and are planned for future iterations.

Fascinating read! I'm curious, what technology stack did you use for the backend? I'm assuming IPFS for decentralized file storage?

Really likes the concept and your approach to building it in just 48 hours. I was wondering if there were any scalability concerns that might arise due to the decentralized nature of the platform?
network_wiz 6 months ago next
Scalability is definitely a concern for decentralized networks, but we've implemented a multi-layered solution using blockchain for storing meta-data and Ethereum for handling transactions

Fantastic work! Contributes to the freedom and privacy movement in social media. Did you manage to try LBRY as well for content hosting?
network_wiz 6 months ago next
Huge fan of LBRY! For our MVP, we wanted to focus on prototyping a basic version of our platform, but we're excited to explore LBRY for future releases.

Very impressive! Interested in knowing how you tackled the moderation challenge? Decentralized moderation is tough!

Good question! We have a reputation-based system where users can downvote harmful content that violates our guidelines, but there's still space for improvement.

How did you manage to maintain security and privacy in this build? The front-end JavaScript code could be prone to attacks, right?

A great concern of ours! We used PWA for offline functionality and ensured end-to-end encryption utilizing browser-native cryptography. We'd love suggestions on improvement!

Pairing this with a DAICO could prove great for funding further development! Have you thought about the idea?

Seems like you violated HN's comments policy, that might be the reason for the deletion?
network_wiz 6 months ago prev next
Appealing idea - a future goal for our project is to create a fully autonomous self-sustaining platform, of which we'll look into DAICOs for development!

Any plans to implement voting power as a function of user token balance? If so, that could be an interesting governance feature.

Absolutely on our radar, would provide details as soon as we have updates! Thank you for the suggestion!
