I just saw this post from @dansup announcing self-hosting to be available for Loops “very soon”.
If you haven’t heard about Loops before: Loops is a short-form video platform designed for the decentralized Fediverse, where users share videos like TikTok.
Compared to TikTok, Loops offers a few notable advantages: it’s decentralized, so no single company controls the entire platform or its content. Users and communities can (soon) host their own servers and set their own moderation policies. Federation within the Fediverse is not YET there but I’m very sure it will come soon as well..
I also have an account on Loops since quite early (search “hikingdude”), but I do not (yet) post a lot of videos there. – I’m really considering the self-hosting. Maybe as soon as it’s available – or I wait until YunoHost has it in its app garden.
