Why ND? :(
Peertube, a voyeurism site for vids of people peering in through window curtains? :P
What is loops? Not seeing it on the play store
A federated tiktok alternative by the same guy who made Pixelfed. You can find the app on testflight.
It’s not actually federated yet, not even open source. It’s promising but Dan gets himself into a lot of controversy :/
It doesn’t even have a web ui yet, but it’s pretty much finished (atleast from dans mastodon teasers). We only have to wait a couple of weeks or a month for it (i estimate at least)
Don’t get my negative comment wrong tho, i’m still excited for it, just disappointed so far from dan’s handling of it.
Here’s the website: https://loops.video/
@fxomt@lemm.ee this summary is gold.
After reading through this, it wouldn’t surprise me if he turned out to be a Russian operative. In particular a Slovakian, no hate to Slavs but he just strikes me as one ya know?
It all just reads like a disgruntled federal operative letting the popularity get to their head.
Does he have an ego? Definitely. But i’m not sure where you got russian operative from though. I’m not sure what russia would want to do with a buggy federated tiktok alternative/instagram app.
He also made pixelfed as i said, and it’s open source so so far i haven’t heard any backdoors inside it. Loops is a black box though.
Am I the only one who is bothered by this pic. It looks so fake and photoshopped.
Maybe it’s because my phone has weird contrast settings for accessibility.
Obviously I think whoever made this pic has great intentions and it’ll definitely be good enough for an article banner or something which is what it’s most likely to be used for.
Here is Elena’s message on mastodon about it: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113899740641675793 I guess you can always provide some feedback!
Nah I’m not gonna dunk on her effort. I’m glad she made it. Don’t wanna be a downer to her.
But it just looks off to me.
If you have constructive feedback, it seems like the photographer is open to it. It’s not dunking on anyone to say “hey great work and cool idea, just so you know the image looks a little “off” on my screen, possibly due to my accessibility settings, which are blah blah blah… hope this helps, thanks for the great work!”
