It would be nice to provide a Transcript for those that don´t have time to listen to the whole thing. Could be done with Whisper for example, Just a suggestion. --- ## Post 7 by @Air_Work — 2025-09-26T00:50:02Z guys no good tt alternatives :sob: is it just me , or are more than half of [proxitok public instances](https://github.com/pablouser1/ProxiTok/wiki/Public-instances) not working? last revised aug 21, 2024 , think only 6 of 14 listed work any specific reasons privacy guides frontends page dont include safetwitch and nitter? arent they open source too? both tend to work better with tor browser than proxitok what info you guys got on loops and goldfish? loops.video [faqs](https://loops.video/help-center/frequently-asked-questions) says will be open sourcing once out of beta and [goldfish social](https://github.com/Goldfish-Social/Goldfish) publicly has no recent activity :sad_but_relieved_face: --- ## Post 8 by @anon39279085 — 2025-09-26T08:41:44Z > [@Air_Work](#): > > no good tt alternatives There is a good tt alternative actually: > **[Loops by Pixelfed](https://loops.video/)** > > Loops, explore and share short videos on the fediverse.
