  Yeah I’m starting to think dansup projects aren’t real fediverse projects since everyone seems to have issues with with them.

  Lol I had to do custom range search to find that link, originally it was an interview dansup did talking about loops was 5 years old and an pixelfed project. I guess now it’s it’s own thing

  I have no idea what turned miserable mean. I’ve been leaving him alone as best I can, I keep encountering him unintentionally.

  If you’re a backer (of any person or project) you should ask questions and expect answers. For me personally I’m forward with my project, that way someone can take it over or build on top of it

  Actually loops is 5 years old, but it seemed to have a big overhaul in the past few months as in it actually going through development and the source code is actually being published.

  Apparently the activitypub protocol was announced to be implemented in October of 2025. Which is kinda funny.

  Also I did hop to different instances looking for users on across instances and yeah I could only find 1 out of half dozen I tried. So I’m sceptical on activitypub protocol integration. It could be that they aren’t federated

  I’m actually impressed that there is 8 instances because I didn’t except there to be more than one this year

  I help dansup with loops back in February and January. I put some pressure on him for answers and well he folded and basically blocked me, so I got the impression that he didn’t have the temperament to develop loops, but I’m half wrong because well he did eventually make it open source.

  Also dansup is getting paid, he asked for grants and ran a fundraiser specifically for loops, so it’s not exactly “in their free time”

  Of course my slow instance glitches when I looked up Florida. Ugg.

  Florida was more on my mind to use as a concrete example. I do have a county and city level c/ that I created months ago that I can do start doing something with.

  But i could do a c/cdda and just gather post from reddit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Throwing ideas out for lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay I figured out what old Reddit is and it’s rss features. Yeah I can see how that would be a way to reduce load of getting content

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Throwing ideas out for lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m say loops is fedi-washed like a reactionary. There’s no other instances, apparently it dies use the activityhub protocol.

  I will comment that the major corporate sites like reddit and YouTube make hard for fediverse platforms to take off because they’re hard to complete with. When they started out they didn’t have competition people would get bored and come to them, then they would build niche communities on their own.

  There hasn’t been a blunder for most of 2025. Id count the tik Tok ban generally being the last one to capitalize on (but I believe that loops project just didn’t bother to act).

  I’ll have to research that last paragraph

  So is she enjoying it? Like gotta be ready weird to have your d sucked by someone openly hating you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Throwing ideas out for lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s your problem? 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views?⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I have the mindset of taking any idea that works for yourself and use it for your purposes. Like we should be stealing ideas from big tech and foss-ing them. Id assume big tech is worse than this maintainer

  But what would the fork look like? Finding the maintainer contribution and rewriting them?

  Yeah I’m kinda being put on this path. I forgot to note that I feel like the group I’m helping isn’t doing enough things in general, but it’s also the holidays

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You already tried that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry it’s on you to prove it not me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well you take your L and move on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well the code is published on github for you to review. I’m sure you can find the functions and variables the digest them in your head to match them to the blocks in the picture

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll explain it if you admit my points are right and your too ignorant on this subject to argue with me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope asking you to prove that the algorithm works like it does in the picture.

  I don’t helping you understand super basic things

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It actually is on account that it’s real world experience that gives me insight into how algorithms are done. Experience

  I’m not worried about credibility since I look more credible than you because you flipped a question and never answered how you know

  So buddy you gonna prove the algorithm in loop works exactly like it does in the picture or give me the W?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice so you got my perspective then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I already explained how I know. So you can answer my question or just dodge?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you know it’s implemented as described in the picture?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol you really don’t understand recommendation algorithms 🫵🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t fail, I actually succeeded. Plus judging by how hard it was to do a simple algorithm an algorithm like this would take way too much effort.

  Given from the infographic they didn’t even think about an algorithm let alone worked on it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops publishes their recommender algorithm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeap, turns out you can post junk code on GitHub and say it runs whatever. I never seen anyone independently verify that the GitHub code runs similar to loops or compiles the code for the app

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone is so close to grasping your unique vision!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s brag worthy. I should help fnb. I do know one guy in the DSA that helps them out their mutual aid efforts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone is so close to grasping your unique vision!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I simply just say “I’m doing something what are you doing?”

  Then they’re gonna really fold. There won’t be any infighting.

  Most likely they’ll flip the question but just make sure you did something
