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 ✨️

Loops.video
The flagship Loops server, a new creative community for sharing videos and going viral.
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 - 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.
The revolution won't be centralized ❤️

Screenshot of the new Pixelfed webUI showing the new dropdown component with rich A11y support
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

Yellow image with the Loops logo in the center with text that says:
FYP launched 21 days ago
371 hours of content watched
(just on loops.video)
Since we launched the For You algorithm 21 days ago, you've spent 371 hours or 15 days watching content.
This is actual watch time, not (video durations * views)
Let this prove that ethical algorithms are not only needed, they win. People want feeds that respect them.

Loops - Our Mission.
Reclaiming short-video sharing for humanity. Loops was founded on a simple but powerful idea: social media should serve people, not exploit them.
Loops belongs to you, the people.
That means being transparent about where we're going and what we stand for.

Dear Pixelfed:
I'm not Santa, but I have been working hard on a few presents for you.

You won't be disappointed, I promise 😉
