Going live for a short, one hour slot in the Vamoo Raid Train! After that I might take a little break and then do a proper Friday stream, if I'm not too tired. #fedimusic time!
Given this information about #pixelfed and its developer, we will be closing our Pixelfed instance today. We will also be looking for a new #Instagram like platform to use. #Loops looked promising, but it is the same developer as Pixelfed. I will exiting the Pixelfed beta testing for iOS as well. Stay tuned for more updates.
There is a lot of misinformation spreading about Loops, and I want to clarify some things
Loops doesn't ingest any federated activities besides:
- Loop Video Likes
- Loop Video Shares
- Account Follows
- Comments to Loops videos
- Comments to Loops comments
- Reports about Loops content
Videos uploaded to other platforms like Mastodon, Pixelfed and PeerTube will not be included in our For You algorithm, only Loops videos will be
Also we don't claim any ownership, we revised our ToS 
If somebody else has a different analysis of loops.video's ToS I would definitely be interested to hear it, but this all sounds very troubling:
“So if someone’s using ActivityPub in any way, and loops.video starts federating using the ActivityPub protocol, all of that user’s data becomes automatically licensed to loops.video for them to use as they will – even if they’re entirely unaware of this happening.”
Habe jetzt mal ein Video auf #Loops #pixelfed hochgeladen. Die #App gefällt richtig gut. Mir geht nur noch eine Webversion ab.

Wer weiß wie es nun mit der Plattform weiter geht. Bin der Meinung das ist genau das was das Fediverse noch gebraucht hat 
Going live now, it's Wednesday stream time! Come by for some nice #FediMusic. <3
AR Filters are quite popular on some platforms, and they are coming to Pixelfed, Loops and Sup with our new Camera mode!
One more thing, you can create and submit your AR filters to the directory so anyone can use them too!
I've had to implement a lot more permission controls into Loops (than I had to with Pixelfed), like to not just disable comments, but to limit downloading, or disable sound reuse, disable duets and stiches, etc.
It's interesting how much more control they give to creators vs Instagram.
Can't wait to ship the Sound Library, Duets, Stitches and Comment Video Replies to the Loops app, and the backend source code so you all can run your own Loops server.
Let's goooo 
So I'm building the Sound Library feature in Loops (and will add it to Pixelfed eventually)
It's so cool, and we're working on support for other fediverse platforms so we can leverage their library of audio content and gain their authors more exposure by this cross platform integration.
It's like the pinnacle of ActivityPub, a video app using Audio activities from another platform.
You love to see it 
On Loops you will be able to reply to comments with a video that has the comment overlayed 
Shipping soon
If you love birds, you’ll enjoy this 20” video of little birds feeding out of my hand.

Here’s a screenshot preview of the Loops app.
My interest in #Loops (which is admittedly waning*) is because it reminds me of something I really enjoyed in the late-mid-2010s**.
It's not so much an architectural fascination, as video sharing is objectively a horrible idea for the smolnet. (Which is not to say I don't think it should be done)
* Too much cross-posted tiktok random crap, but the "hand-made" content is still enjoyable
