Loops aims to be an open Fediverse alternative to TikTok, Snapchat, and Vine. We take an early look at the app, and talk about what it’s like!

To me, an alternative model would be deep-linking/embedding 3rd party videos that you own.
For instance, sign up at @server, then:
This way your “feed” is federated, but the efficiency of centralized video content is used. If a provider goes down, or you choose to leave, you can re-up to another provider and with the connected account/title matching, your feed could be auto-updated.
That’s a very interesting idea. It might also incentivize creators because it gives them a more stable audience that’s at least a little insured against viewership changes on any single platform due to changes in that platform outside of their control.
