On the road to fully automated luxury gay space communism.
Spreading Linux propaganda since 2020
Rules:
it was here for couple of months, but some leftie twitter users are joining now. Seems like samey centralized architecture tbh, but 
UpScrolled was founded by Issam Hijazi, a Palestinian Australian technologist and CEO of the company behind the app, Recursive Methods Pty Ltd, based in Australia.
If it's based in Australia I wonder what the implications might be regarding surveillance, since Australia is a member of the Five Eyes, as well as any state censorship in service of Zionism, etc.
Yeah I was immediately skeptical when I saw it was based in Australia. Doubt it will take off.
I think we are entering a post-centralized era of the internet though, where people are just going to be in their own corners. With TikTok locking down and Instagram/Meta being complete dogshit, I don't think there are any large centralized platforms that everyone will be on in the future. Some people will bleed off into Bluesky, Upscrolled, Telegram, Mastodon to get their information. Some significant populations will always stick around on X, Threads, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok for sure.
This is where I'm at, yeah. It's not safe to be on centralized networks in the imperial core, arguably anywhere in the modern age...
Australia has particularly nasty laws regarding governmental access to digital services via individuals involved in providing those services. UpScrolled cannot be trusted.
What's "up dog?"
Why would I go there over 小红书?
idk but the whole advertising campaign just has the opposite effect on me
"Everyone I know seems to be moving to Upscrolled."
is it really gaining attention or is it just an advertising campaign. smh
I learned about it from an activist I follow, and it is #4 in the iPhone app store now, but I doubt it will stick as a useful social media platform.
"Place, Japan" meme but it's "Centralized social media platform (Palestinian owned)"
the cycle is nearing completion
no social media platform remains at the top for more than a few years before a new one explodes onto the scene and unseats it; if they're lucky they get to be stable like Instagram
