Here's one for anyone looking for a not evil alternative to #TikTok.

@dansup.bsky.social, the developer behind the BlueSky-compatible photo sharing app @pixelfedapp.bsky.social, has created a new app called Loops.video

It's ad free, community owned, and not under Trump-mandated ownership.
Loops.video
The flagship Loops server, a new creative community for sharing videos and going viral.

Every TikTok "alternative" is just another VC-funded data harvesting machine cosplaying as your friend.

Why is joinloops.org the only real open source option?

Because surveillance capitalism pays better than freedom.

If it's not open source, you're not the user, you're the product being sold.
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.

I had no idea how many communities were hosted in Canada. Well done, everyone!

Now, we need to grow.

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 ❤️

Accessibility is a first class priority in our new redesign.

One example: dropdowns with ARIA roles, keyboard nav, focus management and descriptive titles.

A11y isn't a feature, it's a human right. ❤️ #Pixelfed

Fediverse account backups via 3rd party FOSS service

Personal Archive Node (PAN) is quite brilliant, its compatible with most fediverse software already, and uses a dual strategy for data backup, with one being adaptable to most fedi software via adapters ✨️

More details soon.

Since we launched the For You algorithm 21 days ago, you've spent 371 hours or 15 days watching content.

This is actual watch time, not (video durations * views)

Let this prove that ethical algorithms are not only needed, they win. People want feeds that respect them.

Dear Pixelfed:

I'm not Santa, but I have been working hard on a few presents for you.

I've heard the feedback and complaints, and can't wait for you to open up these gifts on Christmas day.

You won't be disappointed, I promise 😉

You'd have to be crazy to compete with Instagram.

You'd have to be even crazier to compete with TikTok.

Maybe I am crazy.

Or maybe people just want ethical platforms.
