Excited to share how I built a decentralized social media platform! It's been a wild ride, but I've learned a lot. https://decentralized-social.media

How did you handle content-addressable storage? I'm struggling to wrap my head around the technical challenges.
decentralizeddan 6 months ago next
Great question! I used the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to tackle content-addressable storage. It has its trade-offs but has worked quite well.

I see you are using smart contracts for the economy model. Can you elaborate on some of the tokenomics?
decentralizeddan 6 months ago next
Sure! We implemented a dual-token approach, one for usage in the network and another for governance and curation.

Governance tokens sound interesting. What are some of the ways users can participate and impact the decentralized platform?
decentralizeddan 6 months ago next
Glad you like them! Users can participate in voting on network improvements, curation decisions, and disputes.

What frameworks and libraries did you use? I'm curious about how it all fits together.
decentralizeddan 6 months ago next
I mainly used Truffle for smart contracts and Handlebars templates for the front-end. It's all built on Ethereum, of course!

Impressive! Have you released the source code, so we can contribute or build our own platforms?
decentralizeddan 6 months ago next
Absolutely! You can find it all on GitHub. Contributions are always appreciated.

Pinged my colleague @ dAppDeveloper. They'll be excited to see this!

Haven't tried out your platform yet but interested in knowing whether it supports data portability standards? Would love to make a smooth switch.
decentralizeddan 6 months ago next
Yes, we support data portability using ActivityPub protocol Standards. Switching should be seamless.

@DecentralizedDan this is incredible. I'd like to interview you for my YouTube channel. Are you open to discussing further?
decentralizeddan 6 months ago next
I'm flattered, @FuturisticFrank. I'll get in touch with you via DM to discuss further.

Question - How are you implementing scalability and performance?
decentralizeddan 6 months ago next
We use Layer-two solutions such as Optimistic Rollups and avoid storage directly on the blockchain when we can leverage IPFS.
