also, if you're just hearing positive feedback, then someone has created an environment where people are afraid to speak up

i would strongly urge you to get to the root of that and encourage people to provide constructive & honest feedback💙

i didn't get that sense @dansup. i wouldn't want to conflate @mastodonmigration 's feedback w/ criticism

for example, the main thing preventing me from joining #PeerTube is how difficult it is to join peertube. they can take that as criticism, or they can address it

#Loops is in beta. it's guaranteed to have some issues. that's not a criticism of loops per se

& i still believe Loops is an excellent opportunity to bring TikTokers to the #Fediverse. feedback to improve it is necessary

@dansup @WorldTravelerAll7 @courtcan

Not at all Dan. Loops is fantastic, and the feedback is warranted. Apologies for the 'rough' comment. And, of course, Mastodon is not primarily a video platform.

That said, recalling what happened in 2022, when so many people came here expecting the same experience and got quickly disillusioned, it seems really important to set appropriate expectations.

And to engage new users in the thrill of building something new and open, and free of corporate BS.

@WorldTravelerAll7 @courtcan

💯 Just need to be careful that they come on board with the understanding that they will be part of building something, and not expecting it to be a plug in replacement.

@mastodonmigration @courtcan

yes, lots of ways to distribute videos, but that mean people have to go to lots of places. youtube & tiktok are places people can come for videos. i hope that's what they're building.

i've been looking for a #peertube instance to post videos for quite awhile. it's a real pain in the ass.

There is no chance for adoption if platforms make the barriers for entry too high
