If you like the idea of TikTok but didn't like the idea of who owns it or how it is controlled, here's an alternative: Loops. "Loops is federated, open-source, and designed to give power back to creators and communities across the social web. Build your community on a platform that can't lock you in." Looking for people to follow (besides me, I mean)? Try explore. Or search for a hashtag. You can comment on and stitch videos, just like TikTok. You can follow me on Loops - here's a video I've uploaded. How much will use it? I have no idea - we'll see how much value I get out of it (where value() = f(interaction+creativity+fun)).
