Loops is a federated, open-source short-form video platform built on ActivityPub, designed as an ethical alternative to commercial platforms like TikTok. It offers creator tools, chronological and algorithmic feeds, hashtags, comment threads, and cross-server reach via Mastodon and Pixelfed — all without ads, invasive tracking, or corporate lock-in. The project is community-funded and governed.
