I just created an account on the newly-launched social media platform UpScrolled.
First impression: clean, really easy to sign up to and get going. Format looks like a mix between Twitter and Instagram.
I like the core ideas behind this platform. It's based in Australia, with servers in Ireland. Created by Issam Hijazi, an Australian-Palestinian, and backed by Tech For Palestine incubator.
So, unlike Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon, Palestinians and Arabs will not constantly have to deal with shadowbans or suspension.
It promises to be activist, artist, and organiser friendly. Will be interesting to see how the community develops.
Download on Google Play Store or Apple App.
