I think I'm giving up on upscrolled.

It's not worth wasting time there.
My reasons:

  • no way to filter posts
  • lack of contents
  • full of spam(porn, crypto, religion etc)
  • fake accounts & pretend accounts
  • reports don't work
  • videos can't be posted half the time

I understand the developers intention is good, but it's just unbearable spending half my time reporting and blocking crap.

I may go back later

Over and out.

is being targeted by troll accounts.

They are creating fake accounts, posting porn and disgusting contents, then posting 1 star reviews on claiming it's unsafe.

It's a disgusting dirty trick by /Indian/Israeli .

Please install and write positive review about it. They really need help to fight these monsters.

Can you imagine amount of Islamophobic shit we saw if was and wore the shirt and had close contact with Iranian (secret service)?

But he was , had close ties with (if not an active duty)!

I am sure I get a lot of shit for this post, but hell, if people think it is OK to ignore that 's ties with then fuck them all with their hypocrisy

Poszła fama do zbanowanych przez TikTok USA że nie ocenzuruje. No i z medium na 150tys osób w kilka dni osiągnęli 1mln profili.

Ofc totalna rzeźnia, no ale tak wyglądają socialki - jak głosi obietnica założyciela, podobno Palestyńczyka z Australii - "prawie" bez cenzury. Bo jakaś moderacja jest.

YouTube wywalił live streamy AlJazeera, to przeszli tam. Sporo osób z USA zakłada tam konta "na wszelki wypadek" bo techbros z bigtechów socialowych idą na rękę autorytarnemu pomarańczowemu.

Fediwersowe też zaliczyło wzrost, ale nie w takiej skali.

Zobaczymy jak techfełdałowie rozprawią się z tym portalem. Pewnie kupią, jak urośnie.

Na szczęście Fediwersum nie jest na sprzedaż :)

P.S. Nie wiem kto za tym stoi, jest tylko adres pocztowy w Australii. Nie robiłem śledztwa.
P.P.S. To zamknięta aplikacja. Tylko na Android/iPhone. Tylko po angielsku i arabsku.

I don't think people understand how spicy is going to get. The CEO professes to have a "once it's not illegal" policy. Even if you have enough mods, that's not going to wind up great.

They seem to have no cap or rate limiting of registrations and are "blowing up" at the cost of a Discover feed that's got some fairly fucked up shit in right now. Gore, porn, propaganda for extremist groups, plenty of bigotry. If it was on fedi I'd have it blocked.

You need to get tf off of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. We're on Mastodon, BlueSky, Upscrolled. The rest, on their knees in supplication to , can rot.

Alternative shot video sites away from TikTok. TikTok was purchased to view your personal data for the corrupt regime in the US!

Please to all, repost and convince others to leave TikTok to protect other's personal data including yours!

TikTok getting MAGA spawns new social media services.

UpScrolled is apparently built from scratch as a centralized platform, not based on ActivityPub or ATProto. They explicitly state that current decentralized protocols don't deliver what they need for a video-forward app, whatever that means. It's run by Palestinian-Australian developer Issam Hijazi with support from the Tech for Palestine incubator, launched in June 2025. Positioned as an Instagram and TikTok alternative without shadowbanning, with chronological feeds.

UpScrolled saw a massive surge after TikTok's US ownership restructure in January 2026, when Oracle and other US investors took controlling stake while ByteDance retained only 19.9%. Some users accused TikTok of censoring posts critical of ICE under the new ownership, which drove people to alternatives.

Monnett is also built from scratch, centralized, with no federation. Run by Monnet Social SA based in Luxembourg, founded in 2024 by a team of European technologists and activists. It's their answer to surveillance capitalism, GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany, with user-controlled algorithm sliders and no psychological profiling. Basically the European sovereignty play.

W is the newest one, announced at Davos just days ago. Another centralized platform built from scratch, run by Anna Zeiter, former eBay chief privacy officer. It's legally a subsidiary of We Don't Have Time, a Swedish climate activist organization backed by IKEA, Volvo, Unilever, WWF, and Salesforce. The advisory board includes former German Vice Chancellor Philipp Rösler and Club of Rome chair Sandrine Dixson-Declève. Requires identity verification with photo and ID to combat bots. European-hosted data only.

The name of W supposedly stands for "We" with two hidden V's for "Values" and "Verified" - and they cheerfully admit that W coming before X in the alphabet is "a welcome coincidence". Beta in February, public launch late 2026. Zeiter said the platform would already count as a success if "political Brussels" posts on W instead of X.

So all three are new walled gardens with different policies and ownership, but none contribute to the Fediverse, ActivityPub or ATProto.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Makes me want to shout, "Hey, look here, we're here!". But nobody listens.
