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. π 25 comments

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

@dansup @stux Man youβre 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

A while ago I've set my focus back on web dev again and mainly the Goldfish concept πͺ 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:

@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

@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 π§π°π±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

@tom @ChrisWere @dansup @vidzy That doesn't matter π 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

@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 β€οΈ
