I just realized there's no video based posts. I love it (feddit.org)

Back in the day, introducing video posts destroyed facebook, a friends chatter platform, slowly but surely. Same fate with instagram, a photography/memory platform, getting into reels and videos.

Now if I go to reddit once a month to check in what the vibe is since my "detox" I realized.

Its all designed to drain. Drain your energy, your free thought, your long term happiness. Like not even hyperbolic, this is really scary.

And we all know thanks to the c/reddit community here on lemmy: Its full of this hidden but omniprersent corpo shilling, ads and corpo censoring.

Loops was a thing for awhile, the links were all over the place when it came out. I haven't seen one in months though and I don't think I blocked them. Does anyone know what happened to Loops?

Loops.video is the homepage. They were poised as a TikTok replacement for the fediverse, made by the same devs who made Pixelfed.

Since this is c/newtolemmy, Lemmy is the reddit alternative on the fediverse (federated and decentralized software circle). Pixelfed is an Instagram replacement for the fediverse that has some limited compatibility with Lemmy.

A lot of links to [email protected] were posted by @m_[email protected] but they got a new phone that was incompatible with the Loops app so they were going to have to stop posting until the app was updated.

Ah yes, that's the account I remember seeing. That would explain it, thanks!

Yeah, I'd love to post more but still not working for me. There's been a few posts since I stopped but not many. Hopefully the dev can get stuff figured out, especially the web version he's been teasing.

I love how a single person can so easily have such an impact here. m_f, you're lemmy-famous!

I think the developer is splitting their time between pixelfed AND loops and maybe even one more fediverse project.

something something butter spread over too much bread.
