Loops are for short duration videos (max 30 seconds) and is a separate app/platform from Pixelfed.

We're also working with @stux and his #Goldfish project so the fediverse will have many options to choose from.

Loops is more like Vine, simple and short, for longer videos we think Goldfish and/or PeerTube can meet your needs.

This is the amazing thing about the fediverse, instead of competing with Goldfish, I'm mentoring/helping them.

In the fediverse, we all win, no matter the platform.

@stux I'm happy to hear that the goldfish project is going somewhere...

@dansup @stux @pixelfed so is this going to be like shorts on YouTube or like TikTok’s??? I wonder if there could be a way to link accounts so your shorts (loops) show up in your Peertube feed.

dansup

@Ric @stux @pixelfed Yeah it will be like Shorts or TikTok, and will be compatible with PeerTube along with most other platforms.

I'm the developer of @pixelfed btw, and have good relations with other projects so I don't expect any issues regarding compatibility.

@dansup @stux @pixelfed awesome linking forward to this. Also pixelfed is why I follow you πŸ˜‰

@dansup @stux I did remember #vine but never used it and was very popular. Just call it vine, rather loops. #BringBackVine

Jessie

@Goldmaster @dansup the copyright and trademark for vine still exists. the vine website and all it's videos are still there even...

@dansup @stux Man you’re always doing dope things and looking out for others. I would also ask you guys to connect with the #Vidzy dev as well. https://vidzy.codeberg.page/ https://codeberg.org/vidzy/vidzy #WeAllWin

@dansup @stux do you have a link to the goldfish project? It sounds interesting!

A while ago I've set my focus back on web dev again and mainly the Goldfish concept πŸ’ͺ

Currently I'm busy getting fully back into the code with courses so that we can rewrite the front- and backend in the right away with a seperation and API :blobcathearts:

@stux @dansup I love this news, both loops and Goldfish. I'd be super into making short form Fedi content.

stux⚑

@ChrisWere @dansup I always liked Vine very much untul Twitter bought- and shut it down

TikTok a complete privacy hell that really needs to be addressed

Chris Were β‚πŸ§πŸŒ±β˜•

@stux @dansup For me, the most insidious thing about TikTok is how predatory the algorithm is. It feels like it's specifically designed to shock and upset you.

Chris Were β‚πŸ§πŸŒ±β˜•

@stux If you have an in-app currency, you could call them Stux-bux. lol

stux⚑

@ChrisWere @dansup Also! I feel like TikTok doesn't implement any mental health feature, perhaps they even actively try to avoid it

Social media should always come at least second to life in uh.. life!

Chris Were β‚πŸ§πŸŒ±β˜•

@stux Yeah, they either don't care about mental health, or the cruelty of it is a feature rather than a bug.

I tried it for a bit last year, but I couldn't bear how the algorithm kept showing me things I told it not to.

@ChrisWere @stux @dansup worth noting there's also @vidzy out there who I think recently got their server in the very early stages of federation

stux⚑

@tom @ChrisWere @dansup @vidzy That doesn't matter πŸ˜‰

There's also Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, Akkoma etc etc all for microblogging so why not more options for this also?

Tom Casavant

@stux @ChrisWere @dansup @vidzy sorry meant that more as excitement that's there's more choices for short form content that are in development if it didn't come off that way

dansup

@stux I'm so pumped for #Goldfish and being able to help you build this out.

This really is a shining example of the collaboration that is possible in the fediverse.

Fuck competition, Loops + Goldfish are family and will have features and opportunities that are unique to such an open and decentralized platform.

Collaboration is key, we can show the internet how it's done properly, and make history together ❀️

@dansup @stux Vine was so great until Twitter ate it alive, didn't know what to do with it, and killed it. IOW Twitter has always sucked, they've just moved from benevolent sucking to malevolent sucking.

@dansup I know you just said "max 30 seconds" but you also said "Vine" and I was always very impressed with how much creativity can be squeezed into just 6 seconds.

πŸ‘€

I would love to see 10 seconds or less as the default.
