Here is the official website: loops.video

There is the download, privacy policy, etc.

So did the Pixelfed app just never materialize? It seems like all work shifted over to this Loops app.

Cris_Color@lemmy.world on 18 Nov 22:03 collapse

The pixelfed app is in beta, but you can use it. In my experience it’s pretty unstable right now

pixelfed.org/mobile-apps

Edit: figured I should mention, I just use pixeldroid right now which is less unstable f-droid.org/packages/org.pixeldroid.app/

Yeah, I just got the TestFlight access to Loops and it’s janky. A useable web UI would go a long way.

If Kellogs/Fruit Loops doesn’t jump on this bandwagon, what are we even doing here???

Brands should be banned from social media.

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world on 20 Nov 08:09 collapse

Disagree.

A LOT of what I use social media could be classified as brands.

Game Grumps is a youtube show. I’m excited they’re on bluesky.

The Cleveland Guardians are a baseball team in the MLB. I’m excited they’re on bluesky.

You could classify them as brands. They use social media to promote themselves, and I use social media to interact with those brands that isn’t available otherwise.

A sacrifice I’m willing to make.
Agree to disagree, then.

Am I supposed to celebrate the diarrheafying of the fediverse? this is the exact bullshit that ruined Twitter and Instagram. Why the fuck is it a good thing that is coming to shit all overthe fediverse?

Downvote for bullshit diarrhea content. Fuck off. Fuck off your Twitter and Instagram and vine bullshit. Really, drink shit from my asshole if you have not yet gotten the message. Fuck off.

They side they roll out of, evidently

You’re supposed to be celebrating the more widespread adoption of federated software and a break away from centrally controlled corpo environments in general. This is the public retaking the internet for themselves.

If you don’t like the particular content, cool, don’t go there. I don’t go on Mastodon either but I can appreciate why it’s there.

Bob_Robertson_IX@lemmy.world on 19 Nov 04:47 collapse

Exactly!

I don’t hate TikTok because of its short videos, I hate it because the app is an assault on privacy and potentially a subversive tool to influence the public.

Vine was amazing, what are you talking about??

Only if you had zero brain cells, and needed to borrow one. The rest of the planet had better things to do with their day.

Default_Defect@midwest.social on 20 Nov 11:13 collapse

They yearn for the brainrot.

muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee on 19 Nov 04:21 next collapse

Is the loops app on fdroid?

dabaldeagul@feddit.nl on 19 Nov 11:27 collapse

Nope, only from GitHub at the moment

Interesting! I’m glad the fediverse is expanding in this way.
