and monetize it

Have you used TikTok? If you had in the beginning, it was full of people doing history videos, diy, etc. I suspect it will be something like that. I don’t use it anymore, but it was great in the beginning,.I suspect that if you’re on Loops, especially at first, monetizing it isn’t your first thing. The meme communities are probably going to go nuts.

FYI, it works great for me on sh.itjust.works. Is your instance a lemmy instance?

Since it’s federated, is there a better way to share or a way to shrink for browser people?

Well, that’s actually better than I thought. I wonder if Seattle got rid of them? Home Depot (Pieces of Shit) and an Amazon building that overlooks the interstate seem to be the only ones in Seattle proper.

So Loops is open sourced then?

You’re right, I thought it was the Piefed guy.

I’m not trying to fight with you, I’m trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Maybe we could get the creator to come in here and explain what’s going on.

Isn’t piefed open source? You might be right, but we’ll see, yeah?

Edit: What would be the benefit of waiting to become open source? Piefed seems to be a great platform, that’s why I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt. But again, I could be wrong and he’s super greedy.

That’s misleading, they plan on being open sourced according to pubs:

Similar to how Mastodon offers an open source, distributed version of X, the fediverse is getting its own TikTok competitor. This week, an app called Loops began accepting signups on its new platform for sharing short, looping videos. Still in the early stages, Loops is not yet open sourced, nor has it completed its integration with ActivityPub, the protocol that powers Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, and other federated apps.

However, both those efforts are in the works and when complete, will allow Loops to add another layer of social activity to the growing open social web known as the fediverse, which now has north of 11.6 million users and over 1 million monthly active users. (Mastodon accounts for roughly 65% of that activity.) Growth in this space has also encouraged other apps to adopt ActivityPub, like social magazine app Flipboard and Meta’s Threads. The latter is not yet fully integrated but already has more than 200 million monthly active users.

Uhhh, Block is the the parent company of Square (formerly known as Square Up). This is actually a huge company, not some little side thing.

We’re all vibe coders on this blessed day.

We’re not sure, we’re discussing it. Either way, it’s hilarious that I got wooshed, but it would be even more hilarious if OP got wooshed. It would be a double ironic.

Did I have a woosh moment?

Why do you feel the need to defend Campbell so passionately? Is he your daddy or something?

Ahh, the troll shows it face. Have a wonderful day.

Wait, do you really think you’re right allllll the time? I’m not sure what chip you have on your shoulder, but you’re obviously butt hurt about something. Again, Campbell is not perfect, but he did give writers a handy guide to jump off from. You seem like you’re trolling or think you’re super duper smart or something? Smart people try to see other people’s side.

Don’t stick up for the zuck, he’s got fucking billions to pour into other people doing it for him.

Did you read what I said? I said the same thing as what you quoted from the blog, lol. The other formats are mostly boring to a westerner’s ear. It’s easy enough to figure out for yourself, watch movies and advertising before Star Wars. Star Wars is when the Hero’s Journey became popular and when advertising would have started to switch over too. Check for yourself if the movies followed it in America and Europe before Star Wars. Hint, the acclaimed ones mostly did.
