It will also come with an open source "For You" algorithm. I've been wishing the fediverse do this since I joined and it took literally banning TikTok for it to happen in the span of a few months by dansup for Loops, who thankfully has a favorable outlook on the use of algorithms on the fediverse.

Gladly. So I donated to Peertube.
I'd sooner stop using the internet than be forced to imprint that carefully crafted poison into my psyche. They will not steal my life with ads.
Youtube in a nutshell
That's why big tech pays the big bucks to be the "default"
Maybe unpopular opinion but I like connected stuff. I like what you can do with modern tech. I think it's cool to have a coffee maker or something hooked up to Home Assistant so you can start a brew from your phone when you wake up.
What I don't like is when I can't control the tech. The only way I'd ever allow smart appliances is if the data never left my network and I took reasonable steps to ensure the IOT devices are isolated and secured.
TIL she's on pornhub
Dummy accounts work for something like Lemmy but when you're playing with big tech corpos in 2024, it doesn't matter how dummy you make it, they will know it's you.
The beauty of the fediverse is that we can choose to defederate and isolate bad actors like Meta.
Stretched too thin is an understatement.
Between Pixelfed, Sup, Loops, FediDB, fediverse.info, PubKit, all that comes with developing those, his main job, and whatever else he has cooking, I don't like being so heavily dependent on the whims of one dev. I have mad respect for him and everything he has done, but this situation is definitely limiting the growth of the platforms, contributions to those platforms, and his general decision making on what to develop and how to prioritize.
I try to be optimistic because in the end what he's doing is a net positive, but we're going to need more than one man's raw coding talent. That's why although I'm exited for Loops, I'm tempering my expectations and expecting a cap on the popularity and adoption of Loops like with Pixelfed unless something changes.
