I get that people may think that Loops is simply a TikTok clone.

But a clone wouldn't ship 26k LoC to add ActivityPub support*, publish all source code under AGPL, or support full data export and migration.

Most TikTok competitors are driven by financial motives, whereas Loops isn't.

This matters. A lot.

You can't serve two masters — either you serve your people, or you serve the money.

We chose people. ❤️

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.
