Loops + Skylight + diVine = cross platform short videos, for everyone.

The dev of diVine is interested in cross platform interop, and with Bridgy, we could bridge Skylight too.

The revolution won't be centralized ❤️

Loops - Short videos. Your community. Your rules.
All the fun of short-form video, none of the corporate control. Loops is federated, open-source, and designed to give power back to creators and communities.

As we mark #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance and honour those we’ve lost, let’s also uplift those still here doing the hard work.

@thisismissem.social has poured so much into trust & safety spaces, often at great personal cost, yet her work is often undervalued.

Support her: support.thisismissem.social
Support Emelia Smith (@thisismissem)
Fund her work on the Fediverse, improving trust & safety and other open-source contributions

Trans people deserve safety, dignity, and joy.

Today we remember those we’ve lost and recommit to fighting for those who are here.

Stand up, speak out, and show your support.

Trans rights are human rights — say it, mean it, and back it with action.

Duets. Coming soon to Loops.

React side-by-side or stacked with creators across the fediverse. Record your take on any supported Loop and join the conversation.

Beyond Pixelfed and @joinloops.bsky.social I’ve also built:

fedidb.com
fediverse.info
respectfulplatforms.org
socialweb.network
fedithreat.net
pubkit.net

Want to help me keep building tools that serve users, not shareholders?

Hey BlueSky! 👋

Building something different: an open-source, federated TikTok alternative called Loops.

Creator-owned. Community-driven. Fully transparent.

Because short-form video shouldn't be controlled by a single company.

The way people connect will outlast us — 10, 20, even 200 years into the future.

What we build today will decide if that future is free and open, or owned by corporations.

Build software. Build communities. Spread awareness

The foundation starts now — we call it the #socialWeb

1990s: "Fuck IE. We'll build our own."

2000s: "Fuck IE 6. We'll build a faster, open-source browser."

2010s: "Fuck Google's monopoly. We'll fork it."

2020s: "Fuck it. Let's just fork it and add a chatbot."

The goal is no longer to replace the king. It's to build a fancier throne room around him.

I'm opting to delegate management of the Loops project after v1.0

Stepping back to let team leaders drive the vision forward.

Goal: build a solid foundation, then become a contributor who follows their lead.

Building platforms for the people, with the people. That's the future.

No ego required ❤️

Loops + ActivityPub

I successfully tested federation between Loops and the fediverse!

Stay tuned 🚀

The fediverse needs better developer resources. The kind ATProto has.

Fixing that gap: rich docs, interactive examples, instant prototyping.

Built indie-style with FediDB, browser.pub and other community resources to create a better foundation for fedi devs.

Sometimes one spark is all it takes. ✨

Loops v1.0.0-alpha.1 is out!

As a solo dev, this first alpha represents countless late nights building what I believe short-form video should be: federated, open, and creator-owned.

Still early days, but excited to share ✨

I'm so proud of this, Stories will usher in a new era for the fediverse.

Mark my words 😎
Share your world with ephemeral Stories that vanish after 24 hours.

Coming soon to Pixelfed! ✨

Btw, you will be able to disable Stories and never see them if you prefer! #pixelfed #stories

Earlier this year, I had the occasion to design a new logo for the video sharing app @loops 😊

Turning the play symbol into a Möbius strip-like design reintroduces the notion of “loop” into the icon. I also created several animated versions, playing with the […]

The scariest realistic “in the future” movies have nothing to do with AI, zombies or asteroids

It’s us. We’re our own biggest threat

We shouldn’t be this far behind essential human rights, dignity and respect for all, but we are

And the antithesis to oppression
