Why Loops Matters. In a world where platforms rise and fall at the whim of governments and boardrooms, we're building something that can't be shut down, sold off, or taken away.

We're building an ethical alternative to commercial short-video sharing platforms.

As an open-source project, we believe in radical transparency and true community governance.

Share this, and help spread awareness ❤️

Each panel shows a mainstream logo pointing to its alternative with a corresponding website URL: X (Twitter) leads to Mastodon (joinmastodon.org). Instagram leads to Pixelfed (pixelfed.org). WhatsApp leads to Signal (signal.org). Facebook leads to Friendica (friendi.ca). YouTube leads to PeerTube (joinpeertube.org). TikTok leads to Loops (joinloops.org).

Accessibility is a first class priority in our new redesign.

One example: dropdowns with ARIA roles, keyboard nav, focus management and descriptive titles.

A11y isn't a feature, it's a human right. ❤️ #Pixelfed

Dear Pixelfed:

I'm not Santa, but I have been working hard on a few presents for you.

I've heard the feedback and complaints, and can't wait for you to open up these gifts on Christmas day.

You won't be disappointed, I promise 😉

Encouraging healthy habits is fundamental to an ethical alternative

That is why we are working on a Screen Time feature that is enforced across web and apps, allowing you to set your own limits

We can reclaim short video sharing for humanity, and make it better, together

Transgender day of remembrance

Trans people deserve safety, dignity, and joy.

Today we remember those we’ve lost and recommit to fighting for those who are here.

Stand up, speak out, and show your support.

Trans rights are human rights — say it, mean it, and back it with action.
