You’re committing genocide and you’re upset that the people you’re genociding refuse to recognize you? If I had a sense of humor, it’d be funny.

It's nice to know that no matter how much impunity they have, Zionists will always be whiny crybabies.

Well they're just nazis after all, and nazis are biggest cry babies ever

I'm late to UpScrolled. This is Palestinian TikTok?

Blursed blunt rotation.

Tbh it's more like a combination of Twitter and insta. It doesn't have the constant videos, more like the feed from insta with all text posts like twitter also.

Just pointing it out in case peeps go there expecting the tiktok reels experience

UpScrolled is neither open source nor federated. It's going to enshittify like every other corporate social media platform.

but we can get a few good years out of it first!

Federated platforms do not have the bandwidth for endless instant-load high definition video. Even pixelfed (instagram clone) is marginal. Photos barely load on this website. It might be viable to home-host something like TikTok in 20 years or so.

Nothing about open-source federated social media is antithetical to high bandwidth centralised content platforms. Truth Social is a Mastodon clone, and was in fact forced to upload its source code years back to meet AGPL licensing rules.

These folks could have feasibly used their hardware to host open source software too, which has the performance and featureset to support these usecases... just not the resources to reliably serve content with high availability and dedicated human staff.

I guess you're right from the perspective of most fed sites being poorly resourced and run by volunteers, but there's more than enough people making money simply by hosting/running open source software. It just takes a massive upfront cost and risk that puts off vulture capital, I guess.

I'm sure it exists. How much does it cost to run?

I'm not involved with the Loops project specifically, but IIRC Peertube (federated YouTube basically) uses P2P for their backend.

This is like a murderer getting up in arms because their victims family called you a poopyhead
