You know what's pretty cool? rabble, the developer of divine.video sent a pull request to Loops to improve federation between Divine and Loops. Collaboration and connection, no matter where you are. You love to see it ❤️ github.com/joinloops/lo... #Loops #Divine #ActivityPub #Collaboration

the best part of the #OpenSourceAwards was @rude1.blacksky.team talk about BlackSky!! What an absolute legend, he even gave praise to the fedi and how ATP was influenced by it. Really love everything he's doing, and makes me proud to be involved with forward thinking people in the open social web.

How does Loops compare to YouTube Shorts or TikTok? We made this infographic to explain, please share! #Loops

A sitting MP just named @joinloops.bsky.social on stage. AwetTesfaiesus gave us a shoutout in front of a live audience. When elected officials publicly back community-owned platforms, it sends a signal. So honored to have her here. joinloops.org/why-loops-ma... #Loops

Loops Studio is coming soon to our mobile app ⚡️ #Loops #LoopsStudio

If we want the social web to thrive, we build for everyone. Safety, privacy and abuse mitigation are fundamental priorities, not afterthoughts. No VC. No extraction. No selling out. Ethical monetization, baked in. Devs, admins, creators get paid. That's how we sustain this. Boost if you agree. ❤️

A wild pikachu appears!

I'm super proud of our rollout of Starter Kits in Loops, and can't wait to bring this to Pixelfed later this year! Landing page: joinloops.org/starter-kits Blog post: blog.joinloops.org/introducing-... Explore real kits: loops.video/starter-kits... Interoperability with Mastodon coming soon ✨️

Some of us in the ActivityPub world feel jealous of AtProto’s success (like me). But more decentralization is a win for everyone. With Bridgy from @anew.social connecting protocols, this isn’t competition, it’s momentum. We’re stronger together, so let’s build the social web humanity deserves 🚀

activitypub and bluesky aren't competitors. stop thinking coke vs pepsi. start thinking: how do we build the bridge between them? the future is interconnected communities, not an ocean of islands.

microsoft and apple are the reason the open web survived yeah i said it they killed flash, stewarded html5, and microsoft's ajax turned a joke language into the backbone of everything jquery to server components in 20 years. written in a week. runs the world. the villain arc of all time

ATProto has done an amazing job in terms of attracting developers with extensive documentation and easy to use SDKs/libraries. So I've been working on my own take to build a powerful resource that best explains ActivityPub for devs with real code examples and demos. It just takes one person 🚀

We're building an ethical alternative to commercial short-video sharing platforms. As an open-source project, we believe in radical transparency and true community governance. Share this, and help spread awareness ❤️ joinloops.org/why-loops-ma... #Loops #LoopsVideo #TikTok

An open source, ethical alternative to centralized platforms like Instagram for the Fediverse, built on ActivityPub with a chronological feed, no algorithms, and no ads or tracking

A year ago, our project was mentioned on @lastweektonight.com ✨

I look forward to exploring ATProto support to connect Loops to more parts of the social web. The future is open, accessible and ethical. 🚀

2026 - The year of @pixelfedapp.bsky.social @joinloops.bsky.social and @getsup.bsky.social

1,000,000+ people on Pixelfed. 🎉 No VC money. No ads. No algorithm manipulating your feed. Just a community that believed in something better. Thank you for being part of this. ❤️ pixelfed.org/how-to-join

Introducing WebIntents: A universal follow button for the fediverse. Embed or link it anywhere. Click, enter your server, follow. Coming soon ✨ webintents.net #Fediverse #WebIntents #ActivityPub

We are abandoning our #TikTok and #Instagram accounts. We'd love to be able to reach more okTurtles there, but the AI Matrix is too strong on those platforms, it's not showing our short-form videos to anyone at all. So, we're moving to Loops! 😄

The Great Migration 🚀 X ➡️ joinmastodon.org IG ➡️ pixelfed.org FB ➡️ friendi.ca TikTok ➡️ joinloops.org YouTube ➡️ joinpeertube.org WhatsApp ➡️ signal.org Ethical. Federated. Open. Spread the word ✨️

1 year. 2 apps. An ecosystem of ethical alternatives. 🌱 Instagram -> Pixelfed: apps.apple.com/us/app/pixel... Tiktok -> Loops: apps.apple.com/us/app/loops... Open Source. Federated. Free.

The ad-free, algorithm-free, data collection-free TikTok alternative, Loops, is now available in the App Store. apps.apple.com/us/app/loops... More about the app: joinloops.org #loops #fediverse #TikTok

Loops is Now on the App Store! blog.joinloops.org/loops-is-now...

Hey, is this thing really down?

Here's one for anyone looking for a not evil alternative to #TikTok. @dansup.bsky.social, the developer behind the BlueSky-compatible photo sharing app @pixelfedapp.bsky.social, has created a new app called Loops.video It's ad free, community owned, and not under Trump-mandated ownership.

Our iOS app has been submitted to the App Store for review! 🥳

Every TikTok "alternative" is just another VC-funded data harvesting machine cosplaying as your friend. Why is joinloops.org the only real open source option? Because surveillance capitalism pays better than freedom. If it's not open source, you're not the user, you're the product being sold.

Check out this amazing resource @dansup created! I had no idea how many communities were hosted in Canada. Well done, everyone! Now, we need to grow. #canada #mastoadmin https://madeincanada.social/

madeincanada.social now features a revamped Operated in Canada section (with banners), and a new Social Infrastructure section with @gandersocial.bsky.social and @transrights.northsky.social, thanks to @thisismissem.social suggestion. Let's go Canada 🇨🇦 🚀
