the fediverse now has a fast growing TikTok alternative: loops.video

While it remains in a pre-release beta state atm, we are testing federation and will be releasing full federation support, along with the source code once stable.

And we expect by this time next month, you will have a bright, shiny and easy to install TikTok alternative under your tree 🎄

Spread the word. Loops has arrived.

question?

Does one need to find a separate instance for each of these #cms #apps ??

@Vivaldi possible to incorporate these add-ons to streamline efficiency and limit redundancy or is that being solved by encouraging all to host #blog with you?

#IRL does everyone need their own #Mastodon instance + #loops + #pixelFed to unlock the door to #freedom ?

Seemed cool, so I signed up. Great. Then tried to sign in and it said the credentials don't match your records (the password field is invisible so I can't make sure it's accurate, I have to just keep putting it in again and hoping), and when I gave up and just tried to sign up again, it said my username had been taken. 🤔 I checked my email and there's nothing from that domain so I didn't get any account confirmation.

That's about all the energy I have for this. Good luck!

Deleting an account is made unnecessarily difficult. In Mastodon or Pixelfed you go to settings, enter the password and confirm deletion. I don't believe this "We are working on automating the account deletion process", existing process looks more complicated than adding a button to delete an account and a password field.

If you register with an email address from which you cannot send, e.g. using DuckDuckGo Email Protection, it is impossible to delete your account.
