The loops.video instance has been submitted to #FediBlock with the reason being outlined below. I can't say I disagree, the terms of service presents a serious problem for user content rights, and this should be addressed before federation of loops.

Otherwise for the safety of your users I would highly suggest that instance admins defederate loops immediately once it comes online (assuming the TOS is not changed first)

  loops.video - phil@bajsicki:~$
  
  Been a while. I’ve mostly been posting on the Fedi, but I feel like this is a rather important topic that requires attention. Recently @dansup has been posting a bunch about loops.video, a federated alternative to Instagram/ TikTok. While I agree that an open, free and federated alternative to these platforms is necessary, I am consistently finding myself questioning the intentions encoded in their Terms of Service. Before going further, I’ll clarify: loops.video is not currently federating, but federation is planned using the ActivityPub protocol. If it does happen, and the ToS isn’t properly adjusted, it will cause problems.
