im happy there is a tiktok replacement.
i dont think non-federating tiktok clone belongs in federating publications any more than tiktok does.
right so theyve said for _ 8_+ months now.
im sick of seeing it included in fediverse projects when it still doesnt actually do any federating and everyone keeps sayin, ‘just wait, theyre working on it!’.
bullshit. ill believe it when i see it, and it shouldnt be included in any fediverse topics until it does so… not because ‘it might’
loops doesnt federate with anything. doesnt even allow 3rd party apps. its marketing dept is more capable (re annoying) than its devs.
it does. as an mbin cheerleader, its heartwarming to see the disparate AP based servers communicating with my server. lemmy/friendica/mastodon etc… knowing that no entity could control all those products. the key of course is the protocol and maintaining ActivityPub as functional, standardized service.
im a big fan of not marketing your product until it can do the things you intend. theyve been spamming loops everywhere for over 6 months.
loops doesnt federate. why is it there?
no mbin (interstellar)?
the follow-up is also a great read
https://dustycloud.org/blog/re-re-bluesky-decentralization/
tldr;
bluesky is neither federating nor decentralized, but is a great twitter replacement (not that theres anything wrong with that)
e. also, the longer it exists, the less incentive they have for ever federating or decentralizing. so it will for, all intents and purposes, never do those things regardless of what the board that runs it professes.
i agree on bluesky. its just another walled garden with a few extra features.
as for loops… id say its too early in its development, then, to be included in infographics depicting federating platforms. its lying to new users about what its capable now. if/when he ever gets federation implemented, then we can update literature.
im very confused why everyone wants to market a product that cant yet do the core thing we are all here for. there is zero reason to include it right now.
