I don’t know if you have heard, but Loops.video is a Reels/Tiktok like app from the creator of Pixelfed. I recall it being announced, and checked just now on a whim. All of a sudden, it appears pretty close to ready to launch!
It stands for “embrace, extend, extinguish”, a strategy used by Microsoft in the past to take over formerly open source projects.

Many people speculated that the creation of Threads and one-way federation was a similar tactic, and now with the Loops thing.
Thank you for the explanation, it makes sense, destroy them while they are small.
