I use it too. My main issue is that when I’m entering tag names on a new article, it doesn’t suggest existing tags. Makes it very difficult to keep the number of tags limited. I might create #environment when #climate is what I would usually use.

Because the term is loaded. There are technical implications (who will you be federated with and how do I connect with them?), and it’s jurisdictional (which laws apply when I post here?). Also, for non-technical people, you only hear the word “server” in techno-babble word salad from movies. I don’t blame them at all for being confused.

Comments (quality ones) are the life of a community.

This. Normal people can barely remember a domain name unless it’s also the name of the brand. So this platform is filtering for tech enthusiasts which leaves us with the same two-dimensional profile as every other platform.

Not memes but I keep the address bar in the screen shot.

I just came here to post the same thing haha. It’s very cool! Reminds me of when MTV started. I’ve only watched about an hour of this station but it appears that:

• Live stream music video format
• Independent musicians feature
• There is a schedule you can view on the site to see which genres / shows you want to tune in for
• There are no presenters currently
• There is a group chat feature which sometimes opens for some viewings
• There is a follow button that lets you get notified of broadcast. It works via your fediverse handle.

Personally I think this is among the coolest things to happen online in some time.

Hold on: isn’t it a smear to say someone has a bad reputation and not supply a reason? Because you’re basically giving me your interpretation and no substance.

He is hard working. It’s difficult to build and communicate and do open source but all of those things are happening with regards to Loops. Nobody is perfect and a label like “bad reputation” is very subjective.

Somewhere between being a hater and a fanboy, there’s basic respect. And it’s a one-person project for now, not a big company, so the words we choose should reflect that.

You’ve expressed my feelings about it exactly. It’s very easy to criticise things that aren’t custom made to our individual preferences. But every time we do that we short circuit our capacity for reflection and empathy. I wonder if developers are so often a target of harshness and abuse because software users are used to instant gratification.

It’s a monumental job he’s doing and open sourcing it is basically a gift to the entire internet. The new features keep coming and with video being so expensive to host, it’s a very different undertaking to non-video social media.

I suppose that by using the word “publish”, I made it sound like the algorithm had been private until this point. I could probably have chosen a better phrasing like “published breakdown illustration”.

Edit: I’ve updated the title.

Not that I know of, but you could make a feature request if one doesn’t already exist https://github.com/joinLoops

I would like to be notified when users who are on a warning post or comment.

I actually support telemetry for Mozilla, especially the way they’ve implemented it. But the other features look great and I don’t want anything to do with GitHub projects. Starred on Codeberg!

Apparently not.

"How does Bridge compare to other privacy browsers?

Bridge goes beyond configuration changes by modifying Firefox at the source code level. This provides deeper privacy protections than browsers that only change settings."

Thanks for the recommendation. I appreciate it!

I appreciate the recommendations! I’m working on a list of alternatives. I might upload it to Codeberg or somewhere similar once it gets to a decent size.

Okay. I think we agree on more than we disagree.I also appreciate your input on effective strategy on serious issues like this - I 100% agree. I think you’ve misinterpreted me a little, so let me clarify:

1. I support BDS actively. Organised movements are vital.
2. As I’ve said in the comments: perfect is the enemy of the good. I will drop as many projects as I can. Media players, web browsers, mail clients, social platforms - can all be changed for more ethical alternatives. It doesn’t have to be black or white.
3. I will never wait for any individual or group to give me the go ahead to do what I think is the right thing. BDS isn’t perfect.
4. I am not selling anything, or trying to temper my actions to be more palatable to the more hesitant . It also turns out that I’m far from alone in this, but I was equally happy to go first. I don’t think that it’s a waste of effort at all.

So, yes, strategy is important. But personal efforts count too. Among other things, I am challenging the widely held apathy (and empathy deficit) held by tech enthusiasts that such a move is pointless or too difficult. And along the way I am finding likeminded people I didn’t know were out there.

Ah, thank you for this! I see in their latest issues that they might even create a demo server. I appreciate you !

Oh, that’s great! Thank you. I also discovered Tildes.net which is hosted on GitHub for now, and I see Codeberg being discussed in a thread there.
