Loops.

However, of a dozen instances that exist, only the main one - loops.video - functions well and serves a diversity of content. It's still in heavy development, but technically, ActivityPub is already included.

You probably used a VPN or privacy browser. Social media platforms are terrified of bots and will punish a poor Recaptcha V3 or similar score without telling you.

Which is like half the people interested in grassrootsing a place like this

It is possible to be private without being suspicious by using a stock Firefox or Brave profile on mobile data.

Brave regularly gets me flagged as a bot on Android

Make sure you have shields on standard.

Mobile data is logged though, but yea anonymous from the platform, sure

VPN + adblocker + resist fingerprinting + mail alias (Addy) indeed

They have cloudflare captcha which I passed, so they’re being annoying

Update: unbanned after contacting their support by mail. No questions asked

It could be the mail alias. Most platforms have rules against disposable email addresses.

Probably

Got unbanned by their support, nice.
