"One app gaining traction is UpScrolled, a social network that pledges to remain impartial to political agendas. The app currently ranks 12th overall in Apple's App Store and second in the social networking category. Upscrolled blends familiar features from Instagram and X, letting users share photos, videos, and text posts, discover new content, and send direct messages."
"The app was founded last year by Issam Hijazi, a Palestinian-Jordanian-Australian technologist, with the aim of giving users a place to "freely express thoughts, share moments, and connect with others," according to the app's website. The team behind the app says they're "building a platform that belongs to the people who use it - not to hidden algorithms or outside agendas.""
""UpScrolled is the foundation for a digital ecosystem that puts power back into the hands of the people - not the corporations," Hijazi says in a statement on UpScrolled's website. "It's more than just an alternative to Meta, X, or TikTok - it's a reimagining of what social media should be: a space where creators, communities, and businesses thrive independently, with real control, transparency, and accountability.""
