What exactly is the point of Loop? All I ever see is some of the stupidest shit known to man. I could see it if it was half way educational or informative but this just seems like a big bowl of stupid.

The fediverse will never rule any social media or anything of the sort. Non tech people are turned off by picking a server during account creation. Not to mention all of the drama between instances. Fediverse is just for nerds. Loops is tiktok for nerds.

My friend u are striving for mediocrity. We have a real chance with reddit.

As I have been saying for a long time our biggest issue is that we don't have fediversal accounts. My account should be nothing more than a private key used to sign my actions that I can log into on any instance.

You have to make it as simple as signing up for Reddit/Facebook/TikTok if you want it to take off. Even a whiff of private key and you start losing normal people. You end up with only tech nerds, or privacy nerds, or some other kind of nerd on your platform. Picking an instance is already too much for most people.

I think u may be able to do keys with a passkey which is being pushed by apple and google as something built directly into ur phone.

The signup process would then theoretically be visit site get redirected to any instance get prompted to create account by built in system prompt and ur done.
