@dansup congrats on the launch, looks good! But this "feature" copied from big tech kind of sucks. It's annoying and doesn't really align with the fediverse idea. :(

Screenshot of loops.video. The content is blurred and there is a popup titled

@jomo there is a really good reason behind this, we don't want to make it easy for (AI) crawlers to scrape our public endpoints, so we limit them, and while most software (like Pixelfed) just shows 10 or so results, I figured it would be better to indicate to the user there are more if they login.

@dansup Me: scroll a tiny bit on explore,

You: lies

@dansup Then don't say we don't need an account to explore it though

@krafting you can explore without an account, we just simply limit it. Mastodon does this too.
