Somebody's gonna make a federated TikTok, aren't they? We're gonna have TikTokers flooding the Fediverse. We're so fucked.
That should happen regardless. The main issue with tiktok is not the concept, it's the recommendation algorithm and the agenda behind it.
I don't actually have any qualms with that. Power to the people!
In reality though there a planned executive order to forcing Know Your Customer rules on all US web hosts and Internet architecture, so if you're planning on hosting a fediverse server in the US, the US government will need to know your identity.

@crispyflagstones @yogthos Someone is named @dansup who also created @pixelfed, the app is called Loops, you can follow his progress here: @loops
Video support could be a "killer app" on threads to embrace and extinguish the fediverse.
If that becomes the case and you don't want to see it, block it. Easy enough.

Well there’s PeerTube and PixelFed. Perhaps a few will try it, but mostly I think they”ll go to other corporate American platforms like Instagram.
I figured most would just go to YouTube shorts
