How do you guys feel about Loops? (self.fediverse)

Title.

Some are calling Loops (https://pixelfed.social/loops) the FediTok (Federated TikTok). What's your personal stance on this?

I'm not a fan of short form videos at all, but it's cool that exists for those who do :)

If it has an embed API, I'll probably add support to Tesseract if there's interest.

Lol I'm not a huge fan either, but I love being able to doom scroll after a tiring day at work.

My friends will usually send me the good stuff so it spares me the scrolling. They get to share something cool they found, and I don't have to scroll. Win-win 😆

Same. I dip in occasionally, but much prefer long-form (and landscape) videos. Always happy to see more fediverse projects though.

I'm not a fan of crack at all, but I'm glad it exists for those who do

I don't think short-form video is quite that addictive, but your comment made me chuckle.
