TikTok basically invented shorts. Maybe Snapchat. And everyone else’s sucks because their AI isn’t as good. It’s a toxic medium anyway. I with the Pixelfed creator would just focus on Pixelfed, I use that and it’s a total win, just needs some kinks worked out and more popularity.
I wish someone else would concentrate on the thing I like. I have my own issues with Pixelfed (specifically how much it doesn’t want you to use it for NSFW content even though it allows it), but I don’t deny that short form videos are hugely popular and a good way to pull people in to the fediverse.
