We’re entering an era where AI can generate more content than humans can consume.

Attention isn’t just scarce anymore, it’s being fragmented, competed for and exhausted at scale.

Everyone can now message, post, notify, and reach anyone instantly and endlessly.

The result?
📉 Lower signal
📉 Lower attention quality
📉 Less meaningful interaction

The internet removed the cost of reaching people.
AI just multiplied the volume.
We don’t just have a content problem, we have an attention economics problem.
One way to fix this is by reintroducing friction where it matters.

If reaching someone had a cost:
• Spam drops
• Intent rises
• Attention gets respected again

Liberdus explores this with a toll system:

You can message anyone, but if they're not a connection (friend) you pay for their attention.

• If they respond → they receive the full amount
• If they just read → they receive half
• If they don’t engage → you get refunded

It creates a gradient of value:

Attention → Engagement → Response
It flips the model:

Attention isn’t free to exploit, it’s something you value and therefore should be compensated.

In a world of infinite AI-generated noise, attention needs a price, or it gets destroyed.

I loved studying digital electronics, microprocessors and interfacing, control systems. Sadly didnt get enough opportunities to explore.

But with ML rising, I see this as an opportunity to get back into it and learn more. I can program in C++, and have experience in Rust.

Is there anyone out there working on ML for Embedded Systems? I would love to explore this field.

I'd love to work as a researcher in your lab/company

@liberdus Decentralised social networking is the way forward

[Liberdus @liberdus]

Why does open source matter for Liberdus?

Communication platforms should never ask you to blindly trust them. They handle your conversations, relationships, identities, and sometimes even your money. That level of responsibility demands transparency.

That’s why Liberdus is open source by design.

Because of Liberdus’ open source nature:
• Anyone can audit how messages and transactions are handled
• Security researchers can inspect the code and find vulnerabilities before attackers do
• There are no hidden backdoors or undisclosed data collection mechanisms
• The community can contribute improvements instead of relying on a single company

Closed communication platforms require faith.
Open ones provide evidence.

Closed source platforms have been shown to have backdoors or not even be responsibly encrypted, again and again.
Open ones are fully inspectable so anyone can see a backdoor and check the encryption.

If privacy, security, and digital sovereignty actually matter, the software protecting them must be open for the world to inspect.

That’s why Liberdus is open source, and the code is directly inspectable; even from your browser.

@ramanwalia Hi Raman — been following your LinkedIn content.

How can I get a 1:1 consult?
I’m leveling up as a SWE (Master’s, distributed systems, Rust).

Interested in ML scalability engineering, not data science.

What should I focus on to stay highly valuable?

@JioCare Hi Team, I submitted a new jio fiber connection request on the app a few days ago. No one has reached out to me. How can I get it?

Shardeum Sets a New Record 🏆

With 171K+ Validators across testnet, Shardeum sets the bar for highest number of physically run nodes ever recorded on a Layer 1 testnet.

Shoutout to all Shardians for making this possible. Now, it's time to take the final leap towards mainnet 💪

[Abdul Azeem @sabdulazeem01]

@SandipanKundu42 It was nice working with you. Excited for what you have ahead of you. ATB!

[Abdul Azeem @sabdulazeem01]

I've been complaining about this since yesterday and all I hear are fake promises. The technicians keep dodging our calls, the LG Manager has spoken very rudely and the Vijay Sales team is utterly rubbish. Vijay Sales has a terrible response team.
