Great post on building a decentralized social media platform! I've been following this space closely and I'm curious about the tech stack you used.

At a high level, what were the main challenges you faced when building your decentralized app (dApp)? How do they compare to traditional centralized social media platforms?

Did you utilize any existing infrastructure or frameworks when handling your decentralized file storage solution? Lipstick on a pig, or entirely novel?

@scatterbrain_sam, I'd recommend following these YouTube tutorials and reading through Consensys' guides for getting started using web3:

I love the idea of decentralized social media! How did you ensure that your solution remains truly censorship-resistant and doesn't turn into a centralized platform over time?

Based on your experiences, which existing blockchain platforms would be a suitable fit for launching a decentralized social media app, considering scalability, security, and user-friendliness?

In terms of consensus algorithms, were you leaning towards using POW (proof of work) or POS (proof of stake)? What were the factors that lead your decision?

There have been some discussions about hybrid or multi-algorithm approaches. Have you considered blending POA with either POW or POS?

How do (or how will) your user interfaces (UI) and user experience (UX) compare to centralized social media counterparts?

You'd be interested to hear that my team's working on a decentralized UI framework that incorporates a Netflix-like recommendation algorithm. We plan to open source it as soon as it reaches an MVP (minimum viable product)
