Loops v1.0.0-alpha.1 is out! As a solo dev, this first alpha represents countless late nights building what I believe short-form video should be: federated, open, and creator-owned. Still early days, but excited to share ✨ Demo: m.yloops.com Source: github.com/joinloops/lo... #loops #socialweb

I'm so proud of this, Stories will usher in a new era for the fediverse. Mark my words 😎

We're almost ready to ship Stories to TestFlight! Also, you will be able to disable Stories and never see them if you prefer.

Earlier this year, I had the occasion to design a new logo for the video sharing app @loops 😊 Turning the play symbol into a Möbius strip-like design reintroduces the notion of “loop” into the icon. I also created several animated versions, playing with the […] [Original post on mastodon.design]

The People Directory is now easier to explore 😎 fediverse.info/explore/people

I redesigned fediverse.info ✨

The scariest realistic “in the future” movies have nothing to do with AI, zombies or asteroids It’s us. We’re our own biggest threat We shouldn’t be this far behind essential human rights, dignity and respect for all, but we are Revolution is the birth of equality And the antithesis to oppression

Amazed with our progress in 2025! - 400K new users joined #Pixelfed - Reached #6 on the App Store on launch - Kickstarter reached goal in 24h - Launched socialweb.network - Pixelfed.art became the largest art server - Growing our team - Preparing the huge Loops launch Keep building ✨

I don't understand why someone would publicly claim they are leaving Pixelfed, then proceed to delete their account, then claim I deleted it maliciously. Then threaten GDPR action! This isn't the first time this happened btw, a lot of people regret deleting their account.

These apps are building Instagram alternatives on open protocols •⁠ ⁠Pixelfed •⁠ ⁠⁠Flashes •⁠ ⁠⁠Pinksky •⁠ ⁠⁠Skygram #Fediverse

Congrats to @flashes.blue for shipping their beta! We need more alternatives to these walled gardens! 🚀

Just upgraded pixelfed.social, its running much faster now!

Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the #Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they've already smashed their campaign goal. But they still need your help!

BlueSky + Pixelfed 👀

Wow!

Instagram alternative Pixelfed now has apps

Meta is blocking links to decentralized instagram competitor Pixelfed Pixelfed said it is "seeing unprecedented levels of traffic." 🔗 www.404media.co/meta-is-bloc...

I'm doing this all myself, and need to start delegating to ensure we can grow sustainably! pixelfed.org fedidb.org fediverse.info pubkit.net loops.video joinloops.org respecfulplatforms.org These are just some of the sites I run, and need help 🙏

Mention Pixelfed.org, get banned on Facebook/Instagram. Meanwhile, we just started respectfulplatforms.org Every friend you save from Meta's ecosystem is one less person whose digital life can be erased at Zuck's whim. Spread the word. #pixelfed

I welcome #BlueSky and other ethical platforms to sign the RespectfulPlatforms.org pledge!

So apparently Meta isn't letting people share their pixelfed links

I know that I keep trying to to push Pixelfed as an alternative to Instagram, but if y'all want a good example of clean pixelfed is then checkout this page as an example: pixelfed.social/Caruto

Introducing respectfulplatforms.org A declaration of fundamental rights and principles for ethical digital platforms, ensuring privacy, dignity, and fairness in online spaces. #pixelfed #loopsvideo #RespectfulPlatforms

Big Tech wants you to think video platforms are impossible to build. Reality check: With edge computing & client-side transcoding, any dev can build at a fraction of the cost. Don't let Web2 giants gatekeep creator innovation. Join the open creator revolution 🚀 loops.video #activityPub #fediverse

Loops + Profile Links (with rel=me verification badges) Yes, multiple! You will be able to add up to 5 links per account. Available soon ✨ cc @wedistribute.org

Loops is an open source Tiktok alternative for the #Fediverse, from the creator of Pixelfed. We've been experimenting with some tools and techniques for creating Loops videos, with some suggestions on how to get started!

How Pixelfed is handling Age Verification: We don't need your ID, we just use a vision camera API to see if you can finish the song lyrics from popular songs from the 80's and 90's. Aus Politicians, take note.

Society has woken up from it's walled garden induced slumber. Don't forget that. We are the future. #spreadTheWord #youAreMakingHistory #socialWeb
