I guess it is an "improvement" that we can replace corporate brain rot with community brain rot, but this isn't going to change my mind about short form video.

Well, it is what de create, right? Why not encouraging people creating short form videos that are decisively not brain-rot?

Funny enough I tried a few videos without signing up, and it doesn't seem as bad? It's a HUGE improvement, in fact.

Tiktok was putting me off because main content in its peak was "teenagers dancing."

Meanwhile the "average age in lemmy is 20 years older than reddit" rule applies to loops. I doubt they will ever have "npc streams."

Still dislike short-form content tho so I will pass, but pretty good community nonetheless.

For now it seems to be mostly very "fediverse".

Can confirm. There are lots of "boring" videos on Loops. Like, check this out. Yes, it's an entire channel dedicated to chickens. I mean, it's nice and relaxing, but nowhere near as addicting and engaging as tiktok or instagram videos. I'll still count that as a win.

Regardless, @billinkc still rocks.
