In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?

I'm fascinated by this idea that the fediverse is open source by definition, when I don't think that's implied anywhere. It's notpart of the ActivityPub license, is it? I would have assumed thatw as public domain.
