Yeah I’m starting to think dansup projects aren’t real fediverse projects since everyone seems to have issues with with them.

Lol I had to do custom range search to find that link, originally it was an interview dansup did talking about loops was 5 years old and an pixelfed project. I guess now it’s it’s own thing

I have no idea what turned miserable mean. I’ve been leaving him alone as best I can, I keep encountering him unintentionally.

If you’re a backer (of any person or project) you should ask questions and expect answers. For me personally I’m forward with my project, that way someone can take it over or build on top of it

Actually loops is 5 years old, but it seemed to have a big overhaul in the past few months as in it actually going through development and the source code is actually being published.

Apparently the activitypub protocol was announced to be implemented in October of 2025. Which is kinda funny.

Also I did hop to different instances looking for users on across instances and yeah I could only find 1 out of half dozen I tried. So I’m sceptical on activitypub protocol integration. It could be that they aren’t federated

I’m actually impressed that there is 8 instances because I didn’t except there to be more than one this year

I help dansup with loops back in February and January. I put some pressure on him for answers and well he folded and basically blocked me, so I got the impression that he didn’t have the temperament to develop loops, but I’m half wrong because well he did eventually make it open source.

Also dansup is getting paid, he asked for grants and ran a fundraiser specifically for loops, so it’s not exactly “in their free time”

Of course my slow instance glitches when I looked up Florida. Ugg.

Florida was more on my mind to use as a concrete example. I do have a county and city level c/ that I created months ago that I can do start doing something with.

But i could do a c/cdda and just gather post from reddit

Okay I figured out what old Reddit is and it’s rss features. Yeah I can see how that would be a way to reduce load of getting content

I’m say loops is fedi-washed like a reactionary. There’s no other instances, apparently it dies use the activityhub protocol.

I will comment that the major corporate sites like reddit and YouTube make hard for fediverse platforms to take off because they’re hard to complete with. When they started out they didn’t have competition people would get bored and come to them, then they would build niche communities on their own.

There hasn’t been a blunder for most of 2025. Id count the tik Tok ban generally being the last one to capitalize on (but I believe that loops project just didn’t bother to act).

I’ll have to research that last paragraph

What’s your problem? 😂

I have the mindset of taking any idea that works for yourself and use it for your purposes. Like we should be stealing ideas from big tech and foss-ing them. Id assume big tech is worse than this maintainer

But what would the fork look like? Finding the maintainer contribution and rewriting them?

Good on them. I said over the radio on at a retail store that when they ask for extra help on gathering karts to start unionizing then

That’s how you get fake credentials meta

You already tried that

Nope

Sorry it’s on you to prove it not me

Well you take your L and move on

Well the code is published on github for you to review. I’m sure you can find the functions and variables the digest them in your head to match them to the blocks in the picture

I’ll explain it if you admit my points are right and your too ignorant on this subject to argue with me

Nope asking you to prove that the algorithm works like it does in the picture.

I don’t helping you understand super basic things

It actually is on account that it’s real world experience that gives me insight into how algorithms are done. Expertise you don’t have

I’m not worried about credibility since I look more credible than you because you flipped a question and never answered how you know

So buddy you gonna prove the algorithm in loop works exactly like it does in the picture or give me the W?

Nice so you got my perspective then?
