A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

Is there a f/loss alternative to tiktok?
Loops appears to be the one for that space but from what I understand they still have a lot of development to do before it's ready for general users.
No app is the big killer.
I'm using the app right now. It's in beta.
Really? Is it for android?
yes, it's for android and there is an "iOS Testflight" whatever that means: https://loops.video/
Thanks, I'll check it out!
IIRC there is an app, but it's only on iPhone.
No, I have it on Android https://loops.video/
I can't see where that site has an Android app? It only has stuff about iOS.
it's still in beta. to get the app, you have to register, then wait for the mail with beta invite and then you get the app link.
Is it good for bullshitting for 10 minutes at a time?
yes https://loops.video/
Thanks, I made an account. Let's see how it goes.
It's weird that so many people here aren't aware of Loops. I've never had any interest in tiktok or anything like it, so I have never sought it out, and I see it mentioned both here on Lemmy and other places several times a week. Do people really just use only lemmy for anything fed and only view communities they subscribe to? That's the only thing I can think of that would make them so shut off from everything.
So I am aware of loops by virtue of Lemmy posts often linking to videos on there.
However I never thought about what it was— I kind of assumed it was closer to YouTube or a free-er video-focused Imgur.
I’ll be honest I have no idea what the appeal is of tiktok and have never used it apart from a few times when links have been sent to me by friends.
So much like twitter to mastodon… I know it exists but I don’t quite understand why someone would want that.
