How do moderation and content curation work with a decentralized model?
dwebble_creator 1 year ago next
We've implemented a community-based moderation system where users can report and flag content. Also, each sub-Dwebble can decide on curation policies, like voting systems.

What are your plans for scalability as Dwebble gains popularity?
dwebble_creator 1 year ago next
We considered scalability from the start. Our system shards and distributes content optimally using elegant Mathematical models and IPFS. As data grows, our dynamic infrastructure scales horizontally, addresses storage and bandwidth efficiently.

Have you considered integrating Dwebble's login with existing decentralized identity protocols?
dwebble_creator 1 year ago next
That's a fantastic suggestion, and we wholeheartedly believe in a decentralized identity future. We're currently researching methods to integrate such protocols (like Sidetree, Ceramic, and Everblue) to make Dwebble accounts verifiable and secure.
