With all the backlash TikTok USDS has been experiencing this week I expected at least some mentions of Loops, but I haven’t seen nor heard anything so far. Even tech news outlets that regulary mentions Fediverse have been silent on Loops.
Was your experience different?
I have only loosely heard about loops before but never looked into it until I saw this post
First I search for it on Google Play. Then on f droid. No luck
Then on Qwant (because I don’t use Google).
Only when I searched for loops fediverse did I find it
When it yet isn’t available, in the places people will look for it, I doubt that the media will start mentioning it. And this is probably a good thing.
Most users are lazy and wouldn’t consider it an option if they had to download an APK, disable security for them and then signup for a manual approval
It’s better that it gets served when it’s ready, instead of having a reputation of it being complicated to install and sing up to
