Excited to share how we built our decentralized social media platform! We started by creating a truly open network, ensuring that no single entity has complete control over user data. I'm looking forward to discussing our approach with everyone!

Interesting question! We used Solana for faster transaction processing. It had its unique challenges, like managing state changes in a distributed environment. #Solana #BlockchainDev

How do you plan on attracting users to actually use your platform? Don't you think it's going to be a tough battle against established centralized networks?

Really love the concept of a decentralized platform. Is there a strong moderation system in place to prevent harmful content?
transparent_tom 1 year ago next
That's a great question too, ethical_alice! We use a combination of AI moderation and delegate-based user reporting to ensure a safe and friendly environment on our platform. #Moderation

I've never been a fan of centralized platforms censoring content. It's awesome to see a solution like yours tackle this issue. How challenging was it to implement content addressing for data storage?
website_wizard 1 year ago next
Content addressing was tricky indeed! To handle this, our developers decided on using the IPFS protocol. It provides good scalability and unique content addressing, as opposed to using a centralized server.

Security must be paramount for a decentralized system. What are some measures you've implemented to safeguard user data privacy & security?

Security_stu, we couldn't agree more! Our system uses end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, and regular security audits to maintain a high level of user data privacy and protection. #Cybersecurity
