Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated using #ActivityPub

We're really excited to share this sneak peek that showcases the new onboarding flow and discovery features (Connect Mastodon) and look forward to the upcoming beta release!

Are you ready for #Loops ?

OK, I love that the initial rotation is not straight right to left, but on a rotation.

oh good! I've got 1500 short videos of a pet rabbit (deceased) that I want to get off my phone. Be careful what you wish for.

I can block the whole domain, right?

I hate #tiktok not because its origin, but because how harmful how short form videos are, which is also applies to musical.ly, YouTube shorts, or vine.

hopefully this won't die half-way like Goldfish.

I like how @pixelfed now adds 'essential' features to break free from Instagram

Great idea, bring addictive patterns to the fedi and allow every instance to become their own algorithm holder, what could possibly go wrong.

Did you learn nothing from how shitty, manipulative and unhealthy corporate media nowadays is Dan? If "choice to move" was a solution to enshittifcation we'd literally see Windows usage tumbling right now and people not buying Samsung devices full of bloat anymore.

"Demand" doesn't justify unhealthy products that make the world a worse place.

@TuxOnBike @hszakher @alb_004 Opt-out will be possible, and we will have a chronological followers feed you can use instead!

@hszakher @alb_004

It will not be algorithm-free: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112331431372219817

Maybe instances and users can opt out. I did not check that.

Loops is open source, with the exception of the algorithm training data and user data Each instance will be able to train and maintain their own 'For You' algorithm Backend: https://github.com/px-loops/loopd App: https://github.

@alb_004 I agree with your concern. however, I guess as the other parts of the #fediverse , if it's algorithm-free, the consumption behaviour would be normal. unlike algorithmic-fed induced (addictive) consumption

@alb_004 why not? Apparently there's a demand (the list you mentioned proves it) but lack of #activitypub #federated alternative in the #fediverse. It's a great step forward 👍

Is it able to handle posts made by users on other server software? Like can a Loops user see posts made by Mastodon or Misskey users?

please slow down the succession of the slides a little bit, I had to pause that video multiple times because there was not enough time to read the words. 🙏🏻
