@mastodonmigration @WorldTravelerAll7 @courtcan Pretty rough how?
We’ve heard nothing but positive feedback from our app and community.
I think your just biased towards mastodon which is a microblogging platform, not video focused
#Loops is a new #Fediverse platform like #TikTok that was just released in the beta stage
it was created by the guy who created #Pixelfed, the fediverse alternative to #Instagram
it just feels like if people are fleeing TikTok now that the fascists have taken over, it would be a great time to introduce them to the fediverse 😁💙
Loops is cool, but it is still pretty rough. By all means people should join loops:
But, it is not going to be the same experience as the slick corporate apps.
Having seen what happened when people rushed to Mastodon in 2022 expecting Twitter, think that it is important to set expectations properly.
And, attaching MEGP4 video clips to Mastodon posts works really well.
Lots of ways to distribute video nowadays.

also, if you're just hearing positive feedback, then someone has created an environment where people are afraid to speak up
i would strongly urge you to get to the root of that and encourage people to provide constructive & honest feedback💙
i didn't get that sense @dansup. i wouldn't want to conflate @mastodonmigration 's feedback w/ criticism
for example, the main thing preventing me from joining #PeerTube is how difficult it is to join peertube. they can take that as criticism, or they can address it
#Loops is in beta. it's guaranteed to have some issues. that's not a criticism of loops per se
& i still believe Loops is an excellent opportunity to bring TikTokers to the #Fediverse. feedback to improve it is necessary
@dansup @WorldTravelerAll7 @courtcan
Not at all Dan. Loops is fantastic, and the feedback is warranted. Apologies for the 'rough' comment. And, of course, Mastodon is not primarily a video platform.
That said, recalling what happened in 2022, when so many people came here expecting the same experience and got quickly disillusioned, it seems really important to set appropriate expectations.
And to engage new users in the thrill of building something new and open, and free of corporate BS.
