Unlike traditional social platforms backed by investors, Loops will rely on donations from platforms like Patreon, Open Collective, and Liberapay for its funding. The platform is also securing grants to support its development for the next year. Moderation on Loops will be key to ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for users, with a trust score system and human moderators overseeing content curation.
Fediverse features
Once fully integrated with ActivityPub, Loops will become part of the broader fediverse, allowing users from platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube to interact and share content seamlessly. Cross-platform interaction, sound usage, and the ability to curate comment sections are just a few of the innovative features planned for Loops. The app will cater to users aged 13 and older, with a focus on user control and engagement.
The future of social media is here with Loops, offering a fresh alternative to mainstream platforms. The signup process is now open, with users eagerly awaiting their chance to experience this new social frontier.
