I was going to delay Direct Messages refactoring until after the mobile app is shipped, but I changed my mind. Pixelfed will soon support proper DMs like Loops, with Group Chat support, media embeds and more! Thanks to Loops, it won't take long to implement in the mobile app + backend, we're still on schedule for an early release APK later this week 🔥 #pixelfed #directMessages #groupChats

Special thanks to @liaizon@social.wake.st for reporting the Loops to Mastodon DM threading issue. It's now fixed 👍 #Loops #LoopsDev #DirectMessages

When you press the share button on Loops web and mobile apps, you see the new Share Sheet. The top row are Direct Message recipients, or Group chats. Middle row is popular mainstream platforms. Bottom row are fediverse platforms that support ActivityIntents ✨ Sharing should be easy and powerful! #Loops #Share #DirectMessages

End to end encryption will be coming to Loops, Pixelfed and Sup 🔥 We are also working on a few new extensions to improve the experience, like renaming the group chat, changing the background, emoji reactions and more! #Loops #Pixelfed #Sup #DirectMessages #GroupChats

Look how easy it is to share a Loops video to a group chat with friends on Loops, Mastodon and Pixelfed. Also, notice how easy it is to completely disable DMs! Loops has supercharged regular Direct Messages, and made them more like TikTok, Instagram and Messenger. This is how we bring the fediverse to the masses, by making group chat and private groups more easy to use and familiar. That is how most people use social media nowadays. Just wait until Sup launches 😎 #Loops #DirectMessages

We redesigned profile headers to better use the available space and show more of the video grid. You may also notice the new Message button, we now have Direct Messages! To prevent spam, you will only see messages from mutuals, the rest will be in the Requests tab. #Loops #LoopsDev #DirectMessages

Direct Messages have arrived on the web, and are coming soon to mobile! ✨️ #fyp #fypシ #loops #directMessages

Loops + Direct Messages 🎉 Now available ✨ #Loops #directMessages

Loops Direct Messages will not only support text and remote media attachments, but also gif reactions and Loop video embeds. Stay tuned! #Loops #DirectMessages

Loops Direct Messages will make it super easy to share videos with your mutuals! Shipping soon 🎉 #Loops #DirectMessages

Loops Direct Messages will be coming to the webUI (mobile + desktop) and our official mobile app! #loops #directMessages

The Direct Messages feature requires a lot of careful consideration to prevent abuse. This is why you will only be able to message accounts that follow you if your account has less than X followers or is younger than 1 year old. Don’t worry if you have less than X followers, but have more than XX cumulative likes across your videos, you will bypass this restriction. Incoming and outgoing messages will be scanned for known spam urls before processing. #loops #directMessages #spamMitigation
