Wow. I've always said that one of the best ways to make a product stand out is to look at the differences of business models between you and your competitors and then create the feature that their business model just won't allow them to do.

This is a perfect example.

You'll never see TikTok or YouTube shorts letting you know how much time you've been putting in to them and capping that with reminders to take breaks. Their ad driven model just wouldn't let them.

I'm loving seeing #Loops taking advantage of this to demonstrate an alternative.

Loops is the ethical TikTok alternative the fediverse needs.

Unique safety features, mental health protections, and user controls you've never seen before.

Open source launch coming later this month - and you'll see why we took the time to get this right ✨
