How do moderation and content curation work with a decentralized model?
dwebble_creator 5 months 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.

Have you considered integrating Dwebble's login with existing decentralized identity protocols?
dwebble_creator 5 months 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.
