@slashdot Ugh, do we really need more brainrot, even if it is more open? 😅
@eldersnake I’m happy about any open platform that allows us to *not* use closed/commercial services. ✌️

@movq I agree. Even if I will not use it, allowing to do similarly to the commercial "service" in a selfhosted, non-algos, non-ad-targeting environment, is the way to go.
But you have to sign-up though? wut?! 😟

That is weird, though:

Why the delay? 🤨

Exactly! But you still have to sign up to "their" platform. da fuq?! I smell something fishy here 🤣

@movq sounds counterproductive. The power of open source is that it benefits from everyone's participation. Why to develop in a close source setting then? Hmm.
@movq i've wondered the same thing.. dansup can be pretty erratic and i don't really trust the guy. thankfully (at least from my perspective) he's not the only game in town. though i think going UI-first is kind of jumping the gun. the fediverse doesn't really have the infrastructure in place to support video publishing at the scale that a tiktok user might expect. based on some of dansups statements regarding palestine, i'm sure its partially an effort to control what kind of content makes it into fedi's tiktok streams for the first while.

i'm kinda bummed that i haven't had the time/energy to get further into my media infrastructure projects. a federated tiktok with good decentralized storage would be a force to be reckoned with. i don't have to be first though. solving the fundamental problems of decentralized video streaming will make for a better experience anyway. i also have too many projects so i can't get after myself for being a little behind the curve in several areas at once lol
