Loops will be open sourced later they say.
Is Loops open source?
It will be! We plan on open sourcing the platform after it reaches a stable and easy to maintain state. -

I already done my part. I only keep WhatsApp for professional reasons (and barely use it) but the rest is already done.

An change your email to protonmail or tutamail. Starve those gmails, outlooks, iCloud’s and etc

The app is not really that great yet. I suggest to check this page out for content creators on PeerTube: https://peertube.wtf/home and also this list: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205
If you are also looking for a PeerTube server to register on, I suggest you look here: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15816115

Peertube is more like a "Proof Of Concept". In reality, most content creators will not switch to it (or even care enough to learn about it).
This isn't like the reddit --> Lemmy transition, where you switch from Stranger Group A to Stranger Group B. If creators aren't moving, there will be no transition. And, unlike with social media posts that you can repost, you can't even reupload Youtube videos because you'll get copyright take down notices (that the instance owner will legally have to comply with).
Btw, Peertube federates with other Peertube instances, it's not a front-end for Youtube.
There will definitely be few content creators who post to PeerTube, if they are dependent on ad revenue. Those creators that are not, have a much easier time posting to PeerTube, because they essentially expand their reach.

Protonmail aren't necessarily worthy of the support, look up the recent news about them

Originally it was supposed to be ActivityPub based, but recently the posted something about it being for XMPP, Matrix and IRC as well
️ Maybe they decided to fork Pidgin 
IMHO Sup. isn't going to happen. They will have their hands more than full with Pixelfed's new popularity and maybe Loops.
Oh! didn't know that, I thought activitypub can't be used for secure messaging. Lol really hope its XMPP!
Yeah I didn't take it that seriously when it was announced right now. Just hope pixelfed stays afloat amidst the user flood and hope he can publish loops as open source soon!

Have a look here for potential instances: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15816115 and also check these links out for channels to follow: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205 / https://peertube.wtf/home

Given that I’ve waited 3 weeks to join his smaller instance of pixel.art, I can tell things are already piling up. I am hoping the kickstarter does help.
Damn. Yeah let's hope he can hire some help...

Nice to see the rear of them, was tough making the call to disconnect from a bunch of people, but I've told them where to find me. Hopefully it snowballs!

Yes I noticed that, that’s why I changed to tutamail.
It’s everywhere this neofascism wild capitalism thing -

In my case I deleted instagram, instead of whatsapp I'm going to Matrix (I'll see who I get there), I changed Reddit for Lemmy and I'm trying to find an active Peertube instance that allows for account creation, live, and uploading videos

Loops isnt even federated or open source yet. Deleted my account
I agree. If it's not libre from the start, we should not trust it. The term "open source" is ambigious, they could put it under some other license where they can just go closed source again.

Signal is centralized, loops is closed source and not accepting new users.
So Matrix it is?
-
Hidden inside the whatsapp->signal box in tiny faint font. I was wondering why there isn't a big "Discord -> Matrix"
So, is Matrix like halfway between Whatsapp and Discord? I downloaded it and I still don't know much about it. I felt like it was more Whatsapp-like

This isn't helping.

It's not an alternate way to view Youtube, it's a totally separate service. You're not missing anything, if no one's using it to post content, then there's no content. Youtube is a tough one to compete with because the infrastructure needed to host that much data and distribute it is insane. Peertube is super niche and not many know about it, but I do wonder how fast scaling would become a problem if it suddenly got an influx of new users.
Apart from that, it has to compete against the content monopoly Youtube has on the video platform industry.
