Has a week of #Israeli controlled #TikTok been enough for you? Could I direct your attention to #Upscrolled, available on all the usual platforms?

UpScrolled was launched in June 2025 by Recursive Methods Pty Ltd. It was founded by Issam Hijazi, a Palestinian-Australian app developer and is backed by the Tech for #Palestine incubator. It’s up to a million downloads as of data this week. Privacy policy seems in line with this type of app. I never used TT, so I can’t speak to the functionality comparables, but hey, it’s not run by a Zionist billionaire and his buddies in the #IDF. So, ya know, that’s better.
