The Fediverse might be getting their own mashups of Tiktok, YouTube, and Vine sooner than anyone thought, thanks to the work of one prolific dev spearheading an effort. The best part? He's helping other projects in the space, too.

Because they increase usage of the apps. People just doom scroll and keep playing.

It's a horrible thing IMO

You can doom scroll without the current video looping, though.

Instagram does it automatically for you now with no way to permanently turn it off.

This is the thing that made me delete the app after years of consideration.
