Gen Z doesn't want your Twitter clone lol. They've already chosen: Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok. That's their language. If the fediverse stays stuck building for our generation, we've already lost. They need alternatives built for them, not us. Good thing we've got Sup, Pixelfed and Loops fr fr πŸ’― #fediverse #noCap
I know that's a big claim, Loops becoming the keystone fediverse project and liberating a whole generation from big tech. I guess you'll just have to see it happen πŸ˜‰ Pixelfed is my baby, but Loops is the bridge to digital sovereignty for millions who don't even know they need it yet. Let's show them how it's done πŸš€ #loops
Loops will do for the fediverse what the iPhone did for smartphones. It's not just open and federated β€” it's gorgeous. That combination is unstoppable. Young creators want freedom, not overlords β€” we're stealing an entire generation from Big Tech. Welcome to the next chapter of the social web. #loops #tiktok #open #federated #gorgeous #fediverse
It’s not finished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. πŸ₯Ή Loops is now open, built in public, and growing every day β€” laying the groundwork for a future where you can build your own TikTok. A future where governments can’t censor you. Where corporations can’t control the conversation. Where the social web belongs to the people again. This is how it starts. ✊ #loops #tikTok #activityPub #freedom #federation
They want you to think β€œSkylight” is the future of short-form video. But it’s just another closed, investor-owned clone. Loops is different: 🌱 open source 🌍 federated βš™οΈ production-ready πŸ“œ better ToS πŸ“š full API docs πŸ“± official app coming soon I kept my word β€” no VC money, no walled gardens. Because we deserve a real TikTok alternative, built for the people. ❀️ Spread the word ✨ #loops image
This is my largest commit of all time I think πŸ˜…
Loops urls are apparently not favoured by app developers because they don't look like urls from other software. That's okay. It's intentional, we don't include usernames in urls because we plan to support username changes, and our comment permalinks are shorter than a Mastodon actor url, and it's gorgeous.

I can't believe Loops is finally federating 😭 I spent the past year building up to this, and I couldn't have done this without your support. Thank you ❀️ See for yourself: #loops image
