I was feeling pretty bad a few days ago and questioning everything due to financial difficulties, but you reminded me how important these open and ethical alternatives are, and a few of you donated and it means the world to me.

Thank you ️

I will continue building to make the social web a better place.

Loops - Donate

Loops is free, open source, and funded entirely by the community. Support independent, ethical short-form video for the fediverse.

I think they're much more than important. I think they're essential, together with all the other #Fediverse projects.

It's fantastic to have a usable internet again, after years of being fenced in by increasingly more restrictive platforms, being lied to, being cheated, and feeding both the bank accounts and egos of Big Tech CEOs, with nothing to show for it other than the knowledge that I've been tracked, profiled, and treated as if I'm a commodity rather than a human being.

I hope to be in a financial situation at some point where I can express my gratitude through donations. I support some FOSS projects where I can, but money is extremely tight at the moment.
