the fediverse now has a fast growing TikTok alternative: https://loops.video
While it remains in a pre-release beta state atm, we are testing federation and will be releasing full federation support, along with the source code once stable.
And we expect by this time next month, you will have a bright, shiny and easy to install TikTok alternative under your tree 🎄
Spread the word. Loops has arrived.

Hi #mastoadmin friends and those watching the #relay we've been hosting for years. We've now been down for about four days and still can't get the damn thing back up. Not sure how to fix. We'll cancel all recurring subscription donations and invite everyone back as soon as we can find a solution. Apologies for the downtime.
Hi there #mastoadmin types following our #mastodon #relay. We're rebooting in a few minutes for some maintenance!
We’re fighting hard to restore the rights of women across America, and to defend access to reproductive health care.
The American people must keep making their voices heard – these laws do not represent our nation.
Your voice will have a final say.

Trump says he could have prevented the Civil War from happening if he was the president instead of Lincoln. This is probably true, as Trump would absolutely have been a slave owner.
The Inflation Reduction Act lowered costs for millions of Americans through lower taxes, caps on drug costs, and lower utility bills.
Republicans in Congress still want to repeal it, but @VP and I will keep fighting to give people more breathing room.
Since Hurricane Helene made landfall, there have been false claims and misinformation regarding the federal assistance available to survivors, from former President Trump, Congressional Republicans, and others.
These claims are not true. 🧵
I guess that’s what happens when corporations are people.

There was a time not long ago, I was considering the switch. It’s pretty common at MS to do a stint or switch there. After this, fuck them. #wfh is life. “Amazon’s Return-to-Office Plans Spark Concern and Debate Among Employees” - https://apple.news/AioZIesXoTHSbjyoj-RGYig

@KamalaHarrisWin - Y’all should register with https://verifiedjournalist.org! Would love to see ya there.
Fellow #news #newsie orgs and #journalists. We're proud to host https://verifiedjournalist.org as a free resource for locating authenticated journalists and news orgs on the #fediverse but the cost just went up as we’re needing to register in multiple countries. Is it worth it to keep this service going to you? Total cost will be close to $1,000/year for all the keywords and domains. We do take donations, but to date, it doesn't cover even the hosting costs.
