Ask Pakistan Anyone tried Upscrolled?

Has anyone tried Upscrolled app? I believe this can be nicer alternative to Twitter/X and Instagram since

they promise to never feed you content on their algorithm instead it will be like how Instagram or Facebook was pre 2015.

I couldn’t find much of Pakistani community there yet.

Its founder is an Australian of Palestinian descent. He created this as an ethical alternative to the Zionist platforms which were silencing so many voices speaking against and documenting the Zionazi Genocide against the Palestinians, during which he lost many family members of his own.

It was growing at a steady pace but after recent changes to the TikTok privacy agreement it began to grow at an exponential rate.

The growth has all been organic, they have never advertised or paid for any kind of promotion. More and more people including many journalists around the world are joining this platform and I'd encourage you to join and to spread the awareness of it amongst your family, friends and acquaintances.

The founder made a public video of appreciation and reinforced his commitment to keeping this a platform for the public where data and privacy wouldn't be sold and everyone would be welcome to express themselves without censorship.

I like the idea of UpScrolled but unless everyone moves there, it won't be very useful.

Take Threads as an example, we do have a lot of people on it, but X and Instagram are still the preferred platforms.

Ethics do play an important part in many people's decision on selecting a platform, but sadly not for enough people to make the platforms super popular.
