It's a pretty bold move to launch an open source service like this, especially one that is as complex as a video sharing site. One would think a gradual increase of user base would be easier to handle than a sudden influx of people at a moment when one has been scrambling to meet a deadline.

Good thing they/he is not afraid of postponing the release and making sure it's ready. And if it works well it will be one hell of a release. Fingers crossed. :)

Everything I hate it’s finally coming to the fediverse! Yay!

For me, I hate the influencer culture around many of these things. On paper, loops, and the like, are good ideas, but when you fill it with people with MBAs trying to sell you things, it feels fake and goes to shit. My experience so far with the fediverse is that it feels generally organic and I have no reason to believe loops would be any different.

Federated LinkedIn would still be better than LinkedIn.

I’m excited, I love how information dense and educational short form content can be.

Its not about us its about migrating the global narrative to a free as in freedom platform.

Hopefully the Fediverse will be able to have a better take on how to do shortform video than other platforms.

I wasn't sure whether I'll say something similar or I'll keep it to myself

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yeah, i think they're resetting the counter back.

last time i open that page, the counter rests at 5 hours left.

Every time you look, they add another day

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'll probably give it a try w curious to see what the content will look like

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Why not. I know a lot of people are into this.

I'm personally not interested in seeing video clips on Pixelfed, so I hope they can be hidden in account settings.

But respect to Pixelfed developers who seem to do a great job - it's awesome.

Edit: looked properly at loops and it looks like it's a totally separate thing to Pixelfed. Happy days!

And this is why we dont do countdowns...
