A new video-sharing app called Loops is launching, aiming to rival TikTok's popularity in the "fediverse" (a decentralized network of social media platforms). Developed by the creator of Instagram alternative Pixelfed, Loops will allow users to share short-form looping videos up to 60 seconds long. The platform will have features like sound remixing, pinned profile videos, and curated comment sections. Loops will rely on human moderators, with a trust score-based system for content moderation.
