It is highly likely that TikTok will actually be banned.

This is all the more reason to support @dansup's project loops.video—it is federated, decentralized, and open source—it *cannot* be banned!

@atomicpoet @dansup is it decentralised, though? I signed up for loops long ago and have been testing it out over the last few days. I absolutely love it, but I don't think it's the answer to the TikTok ban YET. Can you run your own Loops instance? If not, you're running into the same issue as TikTok.

@atomicpoet Again, I love it. But I have SO MANY QUESTIONS. If I could run my own server, does it use P2P in the same way that PeerTube does, or are you dependent on your own server for all your users' bandwidth?
