What exactly is the point of Loop? All I ever see is some of the stupidest shit known to man. I could see it if it was half way educational or informative but this just seems like a big bowl of stupid.

Loops are required for any kind of repeating code. Some applications apply the same algorithm many times such as applying a filter to each pixel of an image, others run the same code forever like your thermostat
Foreach their own.
I think you might be confused.
Or perhaps very enlightened.
No, no, that’s iteration. Loops are how I get my daily servings of froot.
I’m happy with my For Loops. They’re just great!
It’s just another platform for people to share video.
If you think the videos are dumb, then try leading by example and share some smarts…
The point is to share video.
It seems to be in the spirit of vine, which I never got into because it was just a bunch of random stupid shit.
Also, where the hell is the volume control on loops? It is so fucking loud.
IDK about other clients but Tesseract and Mlem (at least on the 2.0 beta) both embed loops videos so they play the same as any other video
Or mute!
aw I miss vine. amazing what could be done in seven seconds, out of the endless sea of stupidity we occasionally got absolute gold like the maracas guy, watermelone, and free shevacadoo…good times lol
There’s only one thing worst than a rapist.
Tap for spoiler
For the fediverse to rule as the dominant form of digital social communication then we must saturate all markets. Yes short form video is shit but we need a federated alternative to every service. More open uncensored communication for all people will only be good.
fediverse content comes from users just like with lemmy/mbin. At one point there was little content here.
I also have not found much in the way of appealing content, but I imagine that is just an issue with the user base. It’s also still in beta for iOS, so there just aren’t that many people putting out content.
I am curious as to its prospective role in the fediverse. Is the idea that it is analogous to instagram reels or other such videos interspersed throughout a twitter feed in addition to a standalone app?
I don’t use loops, but I used tiktok for a long time and short form video isn’t bad. You get some pointless/garbage stuff, but it can totally be great for sharing information, or memes. The point is whatever users want it to be.
I blocked all the communities as they came up. I guess it’s meant to compete with TikTok or yt shorts or whatever, but I’ve never been into that type of content and what I saw here didn’t change that
Right now, half the content posted to Loops is just freebooted TikTok videos, so browsing the main feed is kind of obnoxious. The lack of any algorithms also shows just how important curation is to a platform’s user experience.
Did they ever make a mobile app for Loops for Android? Couldn’t find it.
Nothing. if, for, while - they are all just fancy dancy wrappers around the real heroes, the only things we need - cmp and bl

It’s just a lame user base right now.
Loops? Like Fruit Loops? I mean you wouldn’t be wrong, fruit loops are a big bowl of stupid.
