Beware of "#Loops". It is not an "alternative" now that #TikTok is under fire. There are serious issues with it that let me doubt this project is handled with professionalism and integrity.

I will stop recommending #Pixelfed, too, by the same developer. Very disappointing events, but having witnessed the developer's behaviors, the handling of Loops was the last straw.
