My apologies, I called UpScrolled closed source because it is, not Loops.
Tbf Lemmy is still lacking on many things like media(comics, games, tv shows, cartoons, anime/Manga etc), Reddit right now is THE place aside from niche sites specific to each median, but as for Discord I agree, alternatives are not so hard there... Lemmy is getting there though.
Yup and it's closed source, it's of course likely to be more lax for a time than Tik Tok&Instagram until it takes over...
This app could potentially supplant Tik Tok overtime. As Tik Tok's censorship following it's acquisition by US investors such as Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX, and UpScrolled already having questionable ethics, this may be the path forward.
Let us hope that it gets there one day.
