Out of curiosity is there a FOSS (add-free) short form video type social media? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I know of peertube, which is similar to youtube.

But is there anything that is similar to instgram reels, tiktok type stuff.

I imagine it doesn’t exist because the hosting costs would be exorbitant, but I’m curious incase something like it does?

TikTok's algorithm. It does a lot of things against modern morals but people inherently like them. It is not inclusive and pro-erotic. And ease of use too. Plus state funded money.

So twitter needed a thot detector that calculated skin exposed percent, and put that into everyone's feed? Then vine woulda taken off, you reckon?
