  The Pixelfed guy does good work, but video hosting/streaming is the most difficult use-case to compete in due to infrastructure costs; I’m interested to see how he’s planning to handle this and I wish him luck.

    Also there is no casino algorithm showing you what big data knows will make you stay for a while.

      In TikTok or instagram reels, you don’t follow people you like. You just watch stuff happening.

      That’s actually the whole point of TikTok, what made it different. An app for short videos where you follow people you like is more of a Snapchat competitor, not TikTok.

    I think that pixelfed guy has a big problem with commitment, he has so many unfinished/unpolished projects, and he’d be able to do so much more if he wasn’t starting something new every other month.

      Yeah okay, so it sounds like he’s the kind of guy who’ll build a framework, or most of it, and won’t ever really become capable of hosting a lot of videos at a watchable quality.

    he mentioned in the past that the videos will be automatically deleted after some period of time.

      How ephemeral.

      I can’t wait for it to be used for important long term information.

    I think federated non-profit video platforms won’t work on large scale without P2P.

    I think streaming works best where people self host their own media tbf.

      Self hosting isn’t really compatible with viral content, you do something that blows up and either get the hug of death or go bankrupt from the bandwidth costs.

  I signed up and never got the verification email. It happened to basically everyone else that signed up too. Weird.

    the creator delayed the launch because he had to write the legalese for the service, and on top of that I think he’s waiting for the app stores to approve the app (the service isn’t available through a browser).

    I thought that what he literally called it. Public Beta

    Isn’t “soft launch” the usual term for this?

  Can’t wait for federated LinkedIn and indeed next.

  • Lazycog@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Oh no, not sure if I want that.

    The reason I’m not sure, is because I woke up at 5 am to do my morning run while making cold calls and preparing to open another business because my baby was born 2 hours before and taught me about B2B marketing in AI powered age.

    If you want to hear more, hit me up with a DM!

  I’m fine with it, if its not invasive in privacy and does not collect all the information. And if its a bit better moderated.

• CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Hmm, they managed to get on techcrunch. Impressive. So many little fediverse projects just don’t.

  Loops is not yet open sourced, nor has it completed its integration with ActivityPub, the protocol that powers Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, and other federated apps.

  Ah, it’s a startup that might federate, that’s why.

    A decentralized marketplace would honestly be pretty sick as long as they can figure out how to ensure people don’t’t get scammed

      IMO we need to break in a few independent but cooperating systems;

      1. A transportation service where consumers will request the transportation of goods or people from point A to point B, and providers will make bids for those requests.
      2. A storage service where providers will offer storage of goods at specific locations, and consumers that make requests for the storage.
      3. A LC service, where two parties can enter an letter-of-credit (LC) contract, and providers can guarantee the contract.

      If these systems are available, it would be possible to implement additional services like;

      • Decentralized eshops.
      • Decentralized passenger transportation services.
      • Decentralized food delivery.
      • Probably many more.

  • thingsiplay@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Why? Is it bad providing alternatives? Especially as it is Fediverse based, which is federated and not controlled by a single company. And being compatible to Fediverse protocol means you can use any application.

    Imagine something like Amazon, a central place you go and everyone who federates with it can sell products. I’m not against it.

    I don’t have TikTok myself but having seen my friends show videos from their screen I think it’s absolutely hideous how half of the video is covered with comments and buttons and shit. That would be a total dealbreaker for me.
