Thanks for checking out the alpha. I am a little excited for my first query on this so bear with me.

In terms of positioning this is not meant to compete with any of the existing social platforms but it offers a set of unique features that set it apart from what exists, like distributed governance, constant verification of accounts and content, no ads means no noise and on top of that the way I have envisioned this and the way the roadmap is being worked on, relies on the platform establishing its own global independent network accessible to anyone on the planet. Think of it like a second internet but solely dedicated for (verified) human to human communication. The platform will run two versions, one that runs on regular old internet and a second that stays active if access to the primary network is hindered for any reason (you can hop on either). No other platform offers this nor do they want to because it is an extremely ambitious undertaking.

If I was to sum up the purpose of dygres: Provide access to unlimited communication to anyone on the planet with or without internet access and enable them to make a true living off the platform then hand every verified user voting rights.

Bonus: Add a use case scenario for cryptocurrency.

Per your second query, the MVP is a spartan build because of budget and dev constraints so for now it mimics the functionality of existing platforms for familiarities sake. My approach for this stemmed from my need to understand web development and test my initial thesis of building an MVP and then iterating from there. Future versions of dygres will not look or function the way the alpha does as there will be layers that will allow granular control of the way content is published whether its informative or general entertainment. This granular control will also allow you to create what I think will be the most valuable following on any platform that exists.
