So we officially have a alternative: @loops.

I actually thought about building a libre reimplementation of TikTok’s video editor, but abandoned that after realizing how much I hate TikTok.

Hopefully Loops - and , another planned alternative - won’t end up as bad, and won’t be as fucking brain-dead, even if not intelligent (social media in general, and TikTok in particular, cannot be intelligent).

Don't get me wrong, I love Mastodon and everything it's done for the fediverse

That being said, I don't want Loops to become the only short form video platform, or the only well known one

I'm working with @stux on his own short vid platform called and PeerTube to enable seamless interop

We're stronger and better together

There is no reason NOT to work with "competitors" because when you have the right mindset and goals:

You build for the people, and listen wisely.

I honestly do feel guilty about @loops success when just a week before I reached out to @stux and offered my help to build a mobile app for GoldFish

I don't want him to lose interest in and all the hard work he's put into learning front and backend development

I stick by my word and will write a basic GoldFish app and teach him native app dev and he'll be one of those unstoppable fedi devs in no time 😎

Collaboration > Competition

❤️

@loops Just had a really nice and productive chat with @stux

We're on the same page and will be working together to build out our short video vision across our platforms

+ = 🚀

If there are any other developers working on a TikTok like platform for the fediverse:

Maybe we can join forces and work together with Loops, and if not, lets keep in touch so we can work on compatibility?

I'm already working closely with @stux on , which is shaping up to be a serious fedi TikTok contender!

@dansup @stux I believe right now it’s just as far as I’ve come across. Still three potential alternatives on is 🔥.

✨Introducing Loops, a fediverse TikTok platform.

Explore and share short videos on the fediverse using your Pixelfed or Mastodon account.

Available Soon.

https://loops.video

Follow @loops for early access to the beta and updates.

pixelfed,
@pixelfed@mastodon.social avatar

@joenepraat @dansup @stux Yes, we're aware, and will be helping build their mobile app!

dansup, to random
@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

Loops are for short duration videos (max 30 seconds) and is a separate app/platform from Pixelfed.

We're also working with @stux and his project so the fediverse will have many options to choose from.

Loops is more like Vine, simple and short, for longer videos we think Goldfish and/or PeerTube can meet your needs.

This is the amazing thing about the fediverse, instead of competing with Goldfish, I'm mentoring/helping them.

In the fediverse, we all win, no matter the platform.

🚀

dansup,
@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

@stux I'm so pumped for and being able to help you build this out.

This really is a shining example of the collaboration that is possible in the fediverse.

Fuck competition, Loops + Goldfish are family and will have features and opportunities that are unique to such an open and decentralized platform.

Collaboration is key, we can show the internet how it's done properly, and make history together ❤️

    A bunch of collaborators interviewed for this story about one of my co-workers at the Great Lakes Laboratory for Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. During electrofishing surveys of Harbour, Christine Boston regularly catches *huge which had been released when they outgrew people's home aquariums. They disturb plants and littoral areas and have no predators because nothing can eat them.

    Miss kitty is sitting on a chair beside the table and curiously watching her goldfish friend and wondering “What is that?” You know what they say about the curiosity of the cat.

    Goldfish, to random Dutch

    is a brand new project created by @stux as a FOSS replacement for platforms like TikTok & Vine.

    Development has started a few days ago and the first rought draft is online at https://goldfish.social

    The platform is build in Laravel from scratch and the plan is to also add ActivityPub so it can connect with the Fediverse in the future.

    Our git repo will be updated when a good first version is done ✅

    We also have a Patreon page for the project! Hopefully I can spend many many more hours on it's development ❤️

    When stux was tinkering with I contributed a few euros, not much but better than nothing. And now it looks like the time has come to support dansup and because that's some S tier quality work he's doing there!
