Is there a federated/decentralized version of tiktok? Right now would be the perfect time to implement one of these.

Loops.

However, of a dozen instances that exist, only the main one - loops.video - functions well and serves a diversity of content. It's still in heavy development, but technically, ActivityPub is already included.

You probably used a VPN or privacy browser. Social media platforms are terrified of bots and will punish a poor Recaptcha V3 or similar score without telling you.

Which is like half the people interested in grassrootsing a place like this

It is possible to be private without being suspicious by using a stock Firefox or Brave profile on mobile data.

Brave regularly gets me flagged as a bot on Android

Make sure you have shields on standard.

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Mobile data is logged though, but yea anonymous from the platform, sure

VPN + adblocker + resist fingerprinting + mail alias (Addy) indeed

They have cloudflare captcha which I passed, so they’re being annoying

Update: unbanned after contacting their support by mail. No questions asked

[–] FG_3479@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It could be the mail alias. Most platforms have rules against disposable email addresses.

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Probably

Got unbanned by their support, nice.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There is but it's not on any app store yet, not even f-droid

[–] quips@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Whats it called?

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

loops.video I think
