Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated using #ActivityPub
We're really excited to share this sneak peek that showcases the new onboarding flow and discovery features (Connect Mastodon) and look forward to the upcoming beta release!
Are you ready for #Loops ?
I strongly disagree on that point. Preservation of the internet is extremely important for cultural and historical reasons. Just look at the enormous amount of old websites stored on the internet archive and how helpful as well as culturally significant that preservation effort is. And that is only a drop in the ocean compared to how big the internet actually is.
Yes preserving stuff, especially video, takes enormous amounts of data and is hard but is well worth the effort in the end.
Man, same on the point about YouTube shorts ruining my attention span. The only thing keeping me from an addiction, I feel, is a feeling of guilt when watching shorts instead of long form content.
Whenever I do watch long form content it ends up being more fulfilling and entertaining, too, so I have no idea why our brains are so biased towards short form content.

That’s easily said when you don’t have to supply the effort or pay the hosting bill.
