wtf ever happened to vine?
edit TIL tldr: bought by twitter and killed. founders tried to build a new one in 2020 and died in 2023.
Twitter bought it
Video will not work for AT whatsoever. Text and images, fine, but I’m pretty sure leveraging edge delivery of video is just not going to work out well for users. I think they’ll need a centralized host for that portion, or some fancy ways to offload bandwidth otherwise to prevent constant hammering of popular videos.
Could implement torrents, which I believe is how Peertube handles it.
You apparently do not internet. Anything with a wait time is not an app platform people will use.
more than half of visitors leave a page if they’re forced to wait longer than 3 seconds
and it’s not outlandish to suggest that length decreases every year.
So why does it for for AP with Loops? What’s the fundamental difference between, isn’t the Fediverse the more decentralised system?
Can you reform this question?
Loops uses ActivityPub and feeds video in a TikTok like manner.
What’s the difference that makes it not achievable for AT but okay for AP?
some fancy ways to offload bandwidth otherwise to prevent constant hammering of popular videos
it’s called a CDN
CDN won’t scale to millions of users all uploading videos on a decentralized system. Article is specifically talking about AT Protocol which doesn’t account for video. Making a global CDN distribution of videos from decentralized sources is whole other ball of wax.
Kids use tiktok and they don’t want something their dad built, however safe. They are migrating to rednote because it’s not safe.
They are throwing a tantrum in the stupidest way possible.
The 200 iq move is to join it and tell them how cool it is. Then they won’t like it.
