Loops is working on comment controls (beyond just disabling comments) that will be compatible with Pixelfed and other projects who implement it!

@WorldTravelerAll7 @loops That copy link is what you need to share to Mastodon or other platforms, and there are thousands of servers, so you can't exactly link to every one.

Loops for Android Play Store release is coming along well, and yes F-Droid support is on our roadmap!

I wrote about what I've been calling "The Everything Account"

If you're familiar with The Atmosphere, you already know how to get one, and this should hopefully help you explain it to others.

For those of you who aren't, you'll be surprised to know that you may already have one; here's how you use it: augment.ink/the-everything-acc

I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.

To people outside the Fediverse.

To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.

To people who recently joined the Fediverse.

And more.

...

What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?

(Reply with your answers.)

The Great Migration 🚀

X ➡️ joinmastodon.org
IG ➡️ pixelfed.org
FB ➡️ friendi.ca
TikTok ➡️ joinloops.org
YouTube ➡️ joinpeertube.org
WhatsApp ➡️ signal.org

Ethical. Federated*. Open.

Spread the word ✨

* - I know signal isn't federated, consider @matrix or @xmpp alternatively

A grid graphic displaying six "next generation" ethical alternatives to major social media platforms. Each panel shows a mainstream logo pointing to its alternative with a corresponding website URL:

X (Twitter) leads to Mastodon (joinmastodon.org).

Instagram leads to Pixelfed (pixelfed.org).

WhatsApp leads to Signal (signal.org).

Facebook leads to Friendica (friendi.ca).

YouTube leads to PeerTube (joinpeertube.org).

TikTok leads to Loops (joinloops.org).

@nemeciii that requires clients to have IPFS installed, otherwise web gateway, what is the point.

also, I've used IPFS for over 10 years, github.com/dansup/php-ipfs

dansup boosted:

#Loops is another big #TikTok alternative that I'm excited to see growing. It's available on the #Apple App Store and it's coming to #Android soon, but you can download the APK for Android right now.

@nemeciii because why? that only introduces unnecessary lag/latency with no real advantage.

you still need to pin/host the file twice, so I don't really see the point.

Americans used to share news, organize protests, and document what ICE was doing in their communities is now controlled by people with a financial and political relationship to the Trump admin.

Imagine a simple, yet powerful messenger app with deep Pixelfed and Loops integration.

Public Channels, Group Chats, Stories, E2EE, Fediverse Private Messages.

Conversate, Create and View Stories, Chat across 3rd party integrations (xmpp, discord, slack) and more.

Wouldn't that be sick?

If only there was some guy who made 2 platforms to deeply integrate this into, while keeping it open, extendable and compatible with other software.

Like just imagine. 😉
