Loops aims to be the #fediverse TikTok

We're building it for everyone, even those who may not care about federation!

The whole platform and discovery algorithm will be open source, and fingers crossed, will be funded by a grant by NLnet (if our application gets approved)

But more importantly, I'm eager to implement better safety and moderation tools to empower users and admins to create more safe, healthy and sustainable communities.

We can do this better, without influencers 😎

@[email protected] who will fund the copyright usage for kpop songs? Server to distribute video? ???

@[email protected] Do you have a solution for video hosting to avoid it being stored by every single server?

TikTok without influencers? How is that even possible? The whole concept revolves around there not being any meaningful social interactions and everything you see being picked by an algorithm. And when there's a recommendation algorithm, there are influencers.

Well, I'm at least curious to see how this will develop, so here am i :twilightsheepish:

@[email protected] @nick I'm really excited for this. Imagine an instance for quackery debunking featuring the likes of Nagra & Gil.

Loops should compare itself with Vines, not TikTok.

@[email protected] Eh, not sure we should promote endless scrolling and short videos any more than that. But hey, it might bring more interesting content if there's not an incentive to please the algorithm gods or to farm dopamine at any costs.

The best tiktok alternative is abandoning it and putting your phone down and touching some grass.
