The fediverse now has a TikTok alternative called Loops by @dansup. Open source, federated via ActivityPub, funded by NLnet and community donations instead of venture capital. You own your content and can self host. Beta is live and the iOS app just hit the App Store.

Thank you for the warm welcome, it's very much appreciated. We plan on adding a "Partners and Allies" list on our website so your links and references are helpful. We are not shy about stealing good ideas from friends to achieve our objectives, but we will give credit of course. I also encourage theft of our ideas, if we have any and you find them useful.

Yes, let’s start stealing good ideas from each other. Indeed, we would be happy about every step we will go together to withstand digital #colonialism.
First, we would like to point to a campaign started by #MikeKuketz, who published in his @kuketzblog a series of hints for digital sovereignity named #UnplugTrump
👉 https://www.kuketz-blog.de/unplugtrump-mach-dich-digital-unabhaengig-von-trump-und-big-tech/
It has recently been extended to become #UnplugBigTech
The campaign of our action alliance was directed towards #universities
👉 https://openpetition.de/Unis4Mastodon
Last year we extended it to encompass #cities and municipalities, which we asked to become active in the #Fediverse, too. And about 30 of them are posting on Mastodon regularly

Since the beginning of 2026 we have also the #DIDay campaign running in Germany, which stands for digital #independence day and which is organised by various NGOs
👉 https://di.day
All of the campaigns mentioned would be happy to see them spreading to other countries than #Germany.

There's a lot of energy on the #Fediverse right now to discuss/find a #Federated alternative to #Discord using #ActivityPub.
@strypey suggested that I put this out there to anyone who's thinking about it. We could probably rebuild most of Discord's features as an #Emissary inbox without doing a lot of back end code.
I'm too swamped to start on this right now. But if you're a great HTML+CSS designer, I'm able to give some time to a team who wants to take this on.
I think I just had THE fediverse moment:
Scrolling through my timeline watching text posts, photos, a peertube video...A short video.
"ah nice MTB video" , I thought. Until I saw the handle: someone@loops. Wait.. I see a loops here. This isn't just a video. This is a video on A DIFFERENT Service. And I can seamlessly interact with it.
A new service just integrated seamlessly into my timeline. No "connect your account", no "extra app", no "extra login", no, it's just there
This is #fediverse
M'he trobat amb aquesta campanya molt interessant, i crec que la gent del #Fediverse pot ser de gran suport per aquesta causa.

Dear @ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty,
we welcome you on #Mastodon. It's great that you are also active here in the #Fediverse.
As you feel in 🇨🇦 #Canada, many people in Germany and the 🇪🇺 EU are repelled and alienated by the #policies of the #US administration, which has launched a battle against #freedom and #democracy. The digital platforms of #BigTech provide important tools for this.
Fortunately, various initiatives have formed in #Europe that are committed to #digitalsovereignty. For example, our action alliance launched a campaign two years ago to encourage #universities to #eXit and start using #Mastodon.
Other initiatives such as #ByeByeElon, #WissXit, #QuitX, @leavex and #SaveSocial have pursued similar goals, and we now have some successes: almost all universities 👨🎓 have left #X, and many have became active on Mastodon, see

as many ⚗️ research institutions also

Perhaps this information will help you to shape activities in your country.

Hey #FediDev gang.. Do you think this is the right way to guide people from personal/organizational websites into the #Fediverse?
Some of this is defined in #FEP3b86. Some of it exists today in #Emissary (and the #oStatus "remote follow") some is being built by @dansup as #WebIntents, and some is just scribbles on paper.
If there's interest, I'm happy to write up the rest of this as an additional #FEP
Hello World!
We're building a social web alternative to open graph, powered by @webintents and @fedidb
The website and documentation will be published soon, stay tuned 🚀
