I get that people may think that Loops is simply a TikTok clone.

But a clone wouldn't ship 26k LoC to add ActivityPub support*, publish all source code under AGPL, or support full data export and migration.

Most TikTok competitors are driven by financial motives, whereas Loops isn't.

This matters. A lot.

You can't serve two masters — either you serve your people, or you serve the money.

We chose people. ❤️

@dansup unique features is what differenciate a clone from a real different app. Being Open source or decentralized do not make app app less of a clone. You yourself said in a previous post that you made the interface similar to tiktok

@dansup with the forced gov’t sale of TT, there could not be a better time to migrate to #loops. I’m really excited for a federated short-form video content platform! 🎉
