      A federated tiktok alternative by the same guy who made Pixelfed. You can find the app on testflight.

      It’s not actually federated yet, not even open source. It’s promising but Dan gets himself into a lot of controversy :/

      It doesn’t even have a web ui yet, but it’s pretty much finished (atleast from dans mastodon teasers). We only have to wait a couple of weeks or a month for it (i estimate at least)

      Don’t get my negative comment wrong tho, i’m still excited for it, just disappointed so far from dan’s handling of it.

      Here’s the website: https://loops.video/

        After reading through this, it wouldn’t surprise me if he turned out to be a Russian operative. In particular a Slovakian, no hate to Slavs but he just strikes me as one ya know?

        It all just reads like a disgruntled federal operative letting the popularity get to their head.

          Does he have an ego? Definitely. But i’m not sure where you got russian operative from though. I’m not sure what russia would want to do with a buggy federated tiktok alternative/instagram app.

          He also made pixelfed as i said, and it’s open source so so far i haven’t heard any backdoors inside it. Loops is a black box though.
