yes, and while I love the 🖕and the pettiness, folks really need leave billionaire-owned social media and discover the Fediverse. They have options that aren't the CCP
Loops = Tiktok
Friendica = Facebook
PixelFed = Instagram
Bsky, Masto = Twitter
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org Since PixelFed is gaining traction as an Instagram alternative, it's a good time to highlight that there’s also a federated alternative to Facebook: Friendica. It features a Facebook-like user interface but is ActivityPub-enabled. This means anyone with a Friendica account can communicate with users on Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube, or any other fully ActivityPub-compatible platform. Friendica offers the familiarity of Facebook with the added benefit of federation. So, if your mom or cousin—who've spent the last 20 years on Facebook—are finally ready to leave because they've had enough of Mark Zuckerberg, introduce them to Friendica. Loops.Video is Coming The final bombshell: @dansup, the mind behind PixelFed, announced the website for loops.video will go live this week. | started using Loops today through TestFlight, and I'm blown away.

If an 11-year-old gets this excited about Loops, this platform has serious potential.
