@dansup @loops wait why will there be so many
Show threadλTotoroDec 11, 2024
@JuxGD The US made a law that required the parent company ByteDance to either sell TikTok or be banned from the US (meaning deleted from App stores and not available in browsers).
One reason they gave for this was data privacy concerns because the CCP could confiscate the data of USian users at any time. TikTok offered to move all that data into the US, congress was not impressed.

What a joke😂😂 like the US is any more trustworthy than CCP

@dansup @loops id really really love a longer video length cap; even if it meant I had to downscale to fit a certain file size limit instead

I really want to lean in to Loops as a short form creator, but the 1 min limit is pretty restrictive.

I’m no stranger to the difficulties of video hosting so I totally get it, just want to keep that possibility open!

@dansup @loops what are plans if any for in-app recording? I've added basic implementations to production Android apps before but idk if you plan for it to be basic or have some additional features.

Why not use any Peertube?
Show threadEmil Jacobs - CollectifissionDec 11, 2024
@lautreg different format. Loops is designed to emulate TikTok. The PeerTube devs aren't interested in providing this format iirc and a dedicated app is actually useful.

@dansup @loops

Can you link to the page for contributing if there is one (code, design, etc)?

Show threadcodeDude  Dec 11, 2024
@dansup @loops I think it's more necessary a good marketing about loops, nobody know about it, bluesky is popular because the creator of twitter develop this bluesky, good marketing, people believes in meritocracy, loops doesn't have this advantage.

@dansup @loops Is there any ETA on when it will both federate and when we can host our own instances? Would love to see a growth in instances operating Loops ahead of the TikTok ban.

@dansup created an account on the website, site said it sent me an email with instructions, no email received (checked junk mail too).

It won't let me login with the credentials I used (either on website or in android app), says "These credentials do not match our records."

If I try to reset my password it says "We can't find a user with that email address."

If I try to sign up again it says "The username has already been taken." and "The email has already been taken."
