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

ActivityPub dev resource project, shipping TBA

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 🚀

Why Loops Matters. In a world where platforms rise and fall at the whim of governments and boardrooms, we're building something that can't be shut down, sold off, or taken away.

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 ❤️

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. 🚀

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! 😄

A grid graphic displaying six "next generation" ethical alternatives to major social media platforms. Each panel shows a mainstream logo pointing to its alternative with a corresponding website URL: X (Twitter) leads to Mastodon (joinmastodon.org). Instagram leads to Pixelfed (pixelfed.org). WhatsApp leads to Signal (signal.org). Facebook leads to Friendica (friendi.ca). YouTube leads to PeerTube (joinpeertube.org). TikTok leads to Loops (joinloops.org).

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 ✨️

Yes, I'm working on it!

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.

Loops by Pixelfed now in App Store Review

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

Loops - Short videos. Your community. Your rules. All the fun of short-form video, none of the corporate control. Loops is federated, open-source, and designed to give power back to creators and communities.

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.

Loops + Skylight + diVine = cross platform short videos, for everyone.

The dev of diVine is interested in cross platform interop, and with Bridgy, we could bridge Skylight too.

Accessibility is a first class priority in our new redesign.

One example: dropdowns with ARIA roles, keyboard nav, focus management and descriptive titles.

A11y isn't a feature, it's a human right. ❤️ #Pixelfed
