cool story bro/chatgpt.

you are are answering your own questions with chatgpt to advertise your own app that isnt a PWA.

"However making democratic decisions, where everyone has one vote (?)"

you are right this could be a disaster... what are the options to to moderate this?

many cloud providers provide services that could be relevant here... to specify a few: - https://aws.amazon.com/rekognition/ - https://cloud.google.com/vision/ - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/services/cognitive-service... - companies that provide "moderation-as-a-service"

im doing this project as a hobby. no particular lofty goals for this project than "to work". my plan is to learn as i go along... but im expecting difficulty in the project (given i should only be spending hobby-time on it).

the success of this project would be great... but ultimately, this is not my goal. i do not plan for big deep investment in this project... purely for fun and education... im hoping there are others out there that could learn from this project too.

i will try to incorporate your feedback into this project. i think i need to document the project further before i can identify anywhere i should improve.

thanks for the reply. see: https://www.loomio.org/g/NUlbf4Y0/glitr-io

thanks for you reply. i think our philosophies are aligned in expectation and this is part of the issue i am trying to resolve.

to be more clear about what is happening; i already am building a project which i plan to continue work on independent of support i manage to gain. my expectation is that any support will accelerate progress of my project and i do not not foresee a particular requirement to keep my project secret... therefore making this an open project will at least allow for external feedback on the decisions i intend to make.

i think my problem is that my current skill-set is strongly aligned to being a software developer. therefore i think there is a high risk to me making bad "business decisions". a few examples: - marketing stuff - legal stuff - financing stuff - how do gain customers - what do my customers want - "things that are done without a computer" - etc

i particularly agree with your last two paragraphs... i would like to summarize them to the following expectation:

"an individual would be personally invested if they are actively contributing to decisions and do not feel that the decisions made by the community are unfair in cases where the individuals decision differs from the community consensus"

i have created a loomio account as per feedback from this posts thread: https://www.loomio.org/g/NUlbf4Y0/glitr-io

i also have the blog i previously created and is mentioned in the post body.

any advice on external tools for this is appreciated, but i would prefer to to consolidate the number of tools (to a minimum to make it easier for me to maintain). im hoping the blog (https://glitr.io) will be sufficient. i have integrated Discus (https://disqus.com) for comments. i dont see any particular reason i would be unable to integrate any other tools.

Cryptocurrencies are a joke in my opinion. Given all the hype around blockchain technology, people have chosen to champion crypto coins as its main use. But blockchain simply allows for a variable to be stored. That's all cryptocurrencies are; A variable that only you own and can only update based on some rules.

Blockchain provides a public data store. That is what I am using it for. Maybe memes are not the best use-case for something like this, but it's a start. Imagine if instead of memes you stored something else... For example: news articles. You could have a permanent uncensorable record of news articles. Would this be useful? Of course the argument can be made. Why don't you just rely on news organisations websites. Why don't you just rely on the information shown on your Facebook feed. Etc.

The main problem with such centralised systems, is that you have to ask if something like this is valid for an international audience. Would the memes you see in one country, be the same in another country? The same case stands for the news articles example.

What did you have in mind? I'm working on this as a side project. It's a fun way to spend my spare time.

The intention of the blockchain is to provide a feed of memes to user where the memes aren't tailored for each user unlike things like Facebook which proactivly show you the content you want to see to keep you on the site for longer. You would only see the memes in a category you subscribe to. Think of it like a distributed social network based on memes.
