Dansup is seriously great at designing social platforms. I don't have much personal use for it, as I never cared for instagram, but I think Pixelfed is the best designed platform on the Fediverse. I'm sure Loops will be great too. Fantastic name too.

Kudos to the guy for doing stuff + it being FOSS, but I wouldn’t call him “great at designing social platforms”. Pixelfed is fediverse instagram, loops is fediverse tiktok

Pretty much everything on the fediverse is just a clone of another social media. Pixelfed still has the most intuitive design for new users and a great onboarding process. Took Mastodon a while to catch up.

Just wait 'til you find out that Lemmy is also a fediverse clone of a toxic platform

Yea part of the point in designing these alternatives (to my understanding) is that the userbase can feel immediately at home, there is little barrier to entry
