[POSTPONED] Loops by Pixelfed • Public beta launching in 16 hours
Loops, explore and share short videos on the fediverse. Available soon!
Everything I hate it’s finally coming to the fediverse! Yay!
Its not about us its about migrating the global narrative to a free as in freedom platform.
For me, I hate the influencer culture around many of these things. On paper, loops, and the like, are good ideas, but when you fill it with people with MBAs trying to sell you things, it feels fake and goes to shit. My experience so far with the fediverse is that it feels generally organic and I have no reason to believe loops would be any different.
I wasn't sure whether I'll say something similar or I'll keep it to myself
It's a pretty bold move to launch an open source service like this, especially one that is as complex as a video sharing site. One would think a gradual increase of user base would be easier to handle than a sudden influx of people at a moment when one has been scrambling to meet a deadline.
Good thing they/he is not afraid of postponing the release and making sure it's ready. And if it works well it will be one hell of a release. Fingers crossed. :)
Oh well...
Why not. I know a lot of people are into this.
I'm personally not interested in seeing video clips on Pixelfed, so I hope they can be hidden in account settings.
But respect to Pixelfed developers who seem to do a great job - it's awesome.
Edit: looked properly at loops and it looks like it's a totally separate thing to Pixelfed. Happy days!
I'll probably give it a try w curious to see what the content will look like
