First, I must admit that I don't see the need for this much social media. There are already too many of them and they mostly offer the same thing.

I will not go into the details of what is presented here, but what I see is quite centralized, certain users have greater privileges... It looks like a fairly private network.
Also, privacy and social networks do not go together for several reasons. For example, a private network, available only to a certain group of people, is not attractive for anything, not even for advertising, and that is necessary at some point in order to get life. One more thing, SM users want to be seen and this is one of the reasons for using such platforms.

I will save @Jokers time and remind you of the necessity of adding project URL link

ℹ️ ANN topic should contain link to the web site of a project. Please add that information.
Q.10 - Does the project have a website & team? > The coin/token should have a website - with their own domain name .
You need to add some text instead of images to check if they are handled by A.I.


How will all this data be managed via Bitcoin, given the high fees and limited blockchain, is it via a second or third layer?

The purpose of the social network is to play test a newfound utilization of Bitcoin. It is not meant to compete with or replace existing social networks. If what we end up trying to prove is a success, other social media outlets (like altcoinstalks for example) can use our model and see success too.

The platform seems centralized because of the word "owner", I've already proposed that we change that word to "administrator".

I did add a project URL, I said in my OP that the club of Redivivus is located on a website called The Elon Report. The domain for that website is elon.report.

Here is a link: https://elon.report/index.php?/register/
Here is a link: https://elon.report/index.php?/clubs/1-redivivus/

As for how everything is going to be possible, I want you to think about freebitco.in for a second. How is it possible that I can win and lose single satoshi's with the way the network is now? It's all a display, of course. That's why the minimum withdraw is 30,000 satoshi's.

In our case, we can make our users balance with us function as a display on the top right of the screen. When someone posts, likes, or does anything to effect the public generation of content in the social network, one satoshi will be deducted from the user.

We are considering using the lightning network somewhere in all of this, as I think with that you are able to manage single satoshi's. There are arguments however that the LN isn't real Bitcoin, so there's that we have to deal with as well. This project is in its earliest of earliest of phases.

We are also considering mechanics that will reward users single satoshi's that can be considered a fair game. For example, if I like a post I will lose a Satoshi. The user whose post I liked will then gain a Satoshi.

We are also considering adding ways for users to earn satoshis so they can use it to contribute to the public content of the social network. One of these ways is going to be a mini game built into the club itself that rewards the top (x) players satoshi's at the end of the day/week.

We need to get a userbase going that's interested in the newfound utilization of Bitcoin to begin with. That way, our developers will see reason to code such things.

No matter if the goal of Redivivus is not to compete with other successful and influential social networks like, for example, Facebook or X, there is no avoiding that people will eventually compare what they can get here that they can't get somewhere else...and I am hoping that there can be more solid WIIFM to entice people to come in. Or is this some form of an exclusive club limited in scope and is not meant to compete for people's time and attention (now getting a new form of currency just like what BAT is espousing)? Just a little suggestion...seems to me that Redivivus may have a little hard on recall so use Vivus more though it sounds like a virus to me. Anyway, I am wishing this platform all the success it is looking and more power to the people behind it. As for me, I am already tired with social media and by 2025 I will be living in a cave.

But the result is still the same: competition will still be the result in the end, which is competition with other social media platforms. But let's see how it will be different from other platforms that can be of interest to other communities here in this field on this forum platform.

Because for me, he doesn't seem attractive to most people who will see it, as if there are no sparks or lights that are called to draw people's attention. This is just my opinion.

So, this project finally landed here. The promoter or one of your team is on a permanent ban on Bitcointalk for sending unsolicited messages. I hope you will not do it here do the right thing by giving us an update and news about your platform and if this is a good platform and has potential, then people will support it, the platform will look bad if it involves spamming and breaking rules on a platform where it is being promoted.

All I see is an empty post - I assume that's the case for anyone who uses Tor or everything was deleted for some reason?

As for the idea itself, I have already read something similar many times over the years on BTT, but I don't think any of those projects succeeded. I honestly think that we need less social networks, and more "networks" that will promote human communication in a more natural way, face to face.

Nostr is the only one, but that is technically cheating since it does not even run on Bitcoin. I'm actually not sure *what* it runs on, to be specific, if any, but it does seem to have its own protocol like Bitcoin, and even a standards process similar to BIPs, called NIPs.

I think that is the only network worth paying attention to for the time being.

Nostr proved that social networks built on bitcoin are possible, but I have doubts that something new can suddenly become more popular.
Healthy competition is always good and I would like to see Redivivus or something else getting attention and more activity.
For me to join Redivivus I need really good reason for doing that.

PS
SeeBiscuit be careful and don't send multiple PM messages like you did in bitcointalk forum.

Hey, everyone! Sorry I haven't responded to questions, comments, or concerns regarding Redivivus yet. I have been super busy these past few days, as my wife is in her end stages of pregnancy.

As a matter of fact, instead of being born on July 19th, the baby is now coming in around 2-3 days via artificial induction of labor. My wife has a medical condition called pre-eclampsia, wherein she could have a stroke, seizure, or otherwise die if the baby does not come out right away.

When I return from all of this, I will surely be answering questions, comments, and concerns regarding Redivivus. Thank you all for your patience and understanding. 🧡🙏🏽
