Nice work! I've been looking for a decentralized social media platform. How do you handle content moderation?

Thanks! We have a community moderation system in place, where users can flag inappropriate content and a group of trusted users can take action.

I agree with John's question about content moderation. It seems like that would be a challenge in a decentralized platform.

Yes, I've seen similar concerns with other decentralized platforms. What's your approach to this?

We believe that by engaging a community moderation system, we can ensure that the platform remains usable and respectful for all users.

I'm curious about the technology stack you used to build this.

We used a combination of Ethereum blockchain for data storage, IPFS for content hosting, and a React/Redux frontend.

How does this compare to other decentralized social media platforms, like Minds or Peepeth?
originalposter 5 months ago next
We believe our platform has a more intuitive user interface and a stronger focus on moderation. Minds and Peepeth both have different strengths, though.

How do you plan to scale this to a larger user base?

We're looking into implementing a layer 2 solution, like state channels or plasma, to help with scaling.

How do you ensure user privacy in this platform?

User data is stored on the blockchain, which ensures transparency and can't be altered. We also use end-to-end encryption for user communications.
