A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse - The Verge
Vint Prox@thelinuxcast The benefits are not immediately obvious. Is it only about decentralization?
@vintprox and it's probably Foss but idk. It'll have a hard time without music rights. Part of what makes TikTok so popular is that people can use a lot of music.
@thelinuxcast Their primary deployed service on https://loops.video requires login, immediate disappointment. Fails an easy user test, meaning it won't plummet. 😒
@vintprox doesn't mastodon have that same requirement? I can't remember
@thelinuxcast Non, you can discover content without having to log in on https://mastodon.social. (Not talking about content shared by link.)
