It’s not finished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. 🥹

Loops is now open, built in public, and growing every day — 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. ✊

@dansup congratulations!!! For those of use using the beta version through TestFlight. Should we delete it and download the new one?

@dansup I'm trying to figure out your "Login or Register" UX flow. On an Android phone from a Chrome browser, there's a "Login" but not a "Register" flow that I can see.
Would love to try it out before I try learning TikTok !

@dansup Dan, thanks for confirming no telemetry but can I alsp get you to confirm:

Are there any hooks/code for pushing ads/hashtags/etc? Either opt-in or opt-out?

It seems the joinloops.org front page doesn't like Firefox Mobile much. Slow to load, refuses to scroll, the buttons remain below the fold.

@dansup I feel abandoned having an early account on loops.video. No web interface, no federation.

@dansup is it intended to play on a web browser or in an app (TikTok is both). Also, like TikTok, can folks anonymously browse?

@dansup Congratulations, and thank-you.

Has loops.video now federated? Are there accounts there we can follow to test this out?

@dansup "Fastly CDN and Object storage is used by Loops to host and serve Loops video to a global audience" Why not hosting it on AWS instead? (Yes, I troll, but this one was too tempting.)

@dansup What's the difference with the already existing PeerTube?

@bortzmeyer @dansup I think Loops aims at having a federated, free and self hosted version of Tik Tok, where PeerTube was more targeting YouTube ?

@linuxine @dansup And (real question), how is TikTok different from YouTube (do you need different software when videos are higher than larger or the opposite?)

Also, is TikTok a model to emulate?
