   TikTok is bigger than Twitter, BlueSky and Threads combined.

   Loops has the potential to outshine Bluesky with the impending USA ban of TikTok.

   Are you ready to be part of the next big video platform, one that is ethically built with federation and privacy at the forefront?

   Join https://loops.video today.

   Or reach out to hello at loops dot video via email.

   Let's make history together.

     @shannonpersists @dansup No way that happens. That's just not how things work. Either nothing at all happens, or the administration bullies TikTok's owners into selling off the US/intl version to some rw shithead buddies of theirs who turn it into 🎶-chan.

     @dansup needs an FAQ. Like do we keep our copyright etc? What specifically cant be uploaded? Time constraints? Is it open source, company owned,etc?

     @dansup Everything has the potential, just a matter of likelihood.

     And it's so extremely low we might as well not mention it.

     (anyone remembers ello?)

     @dansup I just want to say, we shouldn't kill the planet only to watch funny cats online, no matter how funny they are.

     @dansup I love that you’re building this!

     But the vertical video format is the smallest part of the TikTok platform.
     - How do you intend to handle moderation?
     - How will you handle discovery, since people will quickly runout of posts by those they follow? An algorithm that the user controls? A universal feed? Randomly selected videos?

     Not trying to troll; genuinely want this to succeed and these concerns come to mind.

     @dansup

     Signed up to loops and never got a confirmation mail after 20 hours.

     Tried to re-make the account. "There is already a user with that email"

     Tried to reset the password then. "There is no user with that email."

     I guess pixelfed is so broken in literally the first step that I no longer have the option to use it.

     So I don't think I will be recommending it to anyone hahaha

     @justenoughducks Onboarding emails are manually triggered by me, and I just sent out the most recent batch of 200.

     Will be updating the backend to handle this more gracefully, now that things are more stable.

     @rcbo We have some basic moderation tools, like Video and Profile reports, along with the ability to disable comments and prevent accounts from posting/commenting, and a trust level system that I'm building out.

     I'm working on a For You algo that will be open source and ship with the backend.

     I'm working on finalizing a NLnet grant, and the hosting is already paid for through next August.

     @dansup Fantastic, man, thanks for sharing those deets! 🙌

     I know some folks on here don’t want any kind of algorithm, but an optional one that’s transparent (or even user-editable someday) can be a welcome noise filter.

     Thanks for working to build out the social web. 💙
