Comment on Loops is Now on the App Store
Jankatarch@lemmy.world 5 days agoFunny enough I tried a few videos without signing up, and it doesn’t seem as bad?
Tiktok was putting me off because main content in its peak was “teenagers dancing.”
Meanwhile the “average age in lemmy is 20 years older than reddit” rule applies to loops. I doubt they will ever have “npc streams.”
Still dislike short-form content tho so I will pass, but pretty good community nonetheless.

I mean it depends on what you want to get from social media. I would argue that things got worse afterwards when it stopped being teenagers dancing and started being right-wing influencers spewing their propaganda. Ultimately, social media should be made by the people contributing to it and how it develops depends on what the users want, not on what you want.
For now it seems to be mostly very “fediverse”.

Can confirm. There are lots of “boring” videos on Loops. Like, check this out. Yes, it’s an entire channel dedicated to chickens. I mean, it’s nice and relaxing, but nowhere near as addicting and engaging as tiktok or instagram videos. I’ll still count that as a win.
Regardless, @billinkc still rocks.
