Hot take: let this brain rot format die already. If you cannot hold your attention for longer than a few minutes at a time, you might want to work on that instead of embracing it.
Current research suggests that declining attention is most likely caused by an expectation of quality rather than actual personal issues. Condensing information is a valuable skill an people do not have time for middle length content just to be disappointed.
But then how am I supposed to use your “research” to make imaginary claims on generational attention spans ?
Do you not think some people doomscroll lemmy, only reading titles and looking at image posts?
Maybe but it’s not the point of it. An infinite scrollable shorts/tiktok like is meant to be doomscrolled
Why does everyone excited to it? Sorry but a short/tiktok format is shitty. It needs to be stopped here
You’re opinion. I personally like it
Can understand the opinion of having “open” doomscrolling platform but…
Happy Groundhog Day I guess.
I still feel like they seem to be building a bit too much hype to what’s going to be just another type of social media in the fediverse with scarce posts made by almost exclusively tech enthusiasts
What content would people like to see on this platform? I would think the fediverse audience would be a bit different from your average tiktok or instagram reels user
Reposts from TikTok insta and youtube
I am not average then. I use tiktok to discover musicians, get short informative videos from science enthusiasts, and poetry or life advice.
Some of these are only possible because of the remarkable recommendation algorithm but I stay hopeful.
the entire saving grace of the fediverse is a lack of algos and curation of your own content. algorithms have basically broken social media and the way we interact with the web. quality and substance is nowhere to be seen for the past few years and many of those who migratate to the fediverse do so specifically for the improved quality of content - it’s the whole selling point.
no invite and I’ve been on the waitlist since it’s been announced :(
Yay! I’m in! I’m very excited about this
I thought they meant time traveler
Anyone know what loops are?
I think it’s like tiktok.
but federated and open source
I believe one of their terms tho is something sketch about your content and data.
Wanna source that? Cause I’ve been following loops a bit and haven’t seen anything close to that. If anything it’s the opposite.
They said they believe.
Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.
I don’t know why I used a semicolon there, but it’s staying.
Hey, believe in yourself, that semicolon belongs there if you believe it belongs there.
Believe in yourself!
Science: No.
Terms of service/privacy policies would be on a per-instance basis.
U would assume so but u never know.
What nonsense is that?
which term you believe is that? https://loops.video/legal/terms-of-service
“All your content and data are belong to us”?
Ohh no not off to a good start. Pixelfed are pretty good iirc u can add a licence to ur content same as peertube. Lemmy devs rejected the ideas cos they are communists are dont like the idea of ownership.
I just got my email 2 minutes ago!
Still can’t login
I got in - but there isn’t much to see/do yet. Not sure how to post videos, can’t see anyone else
Weird
Same. Started suspecting that its app-only.

That was the original plan, but seems like they will create a web app some time down the road
