Currently, and for a while now, loops is being run on code that is not available to the public/users. They have published code for pixel fed before,but Dan, creator of pixelfed, loops, and more gets angry and defensive when asked to let people see the code claiming we must wait until it's "more stabile". Even though there are over half a million users. Stability does not determine transparency. Many FOSS things have open code from the very first line of code. Loops is NOT open source, and they're abusing their license.
Half the time I upload clips I get an "error" notification at the bottom of my screen with no explanation. I'm not terribly worried about it tho, I understand it is still in very early development. The videos in the feed seem to just be in the order of upload time, which isn't horrible, but I'd really like a way to filter out peoples shitty political opinions. I guess we'll see. 3/5 until it gets some more features.
