I didn't know those information. Thanks for the provided info. I'm not at all going to get into the app though. Not even appealing since it has 4 red flags (as mentioned in post)

Yup, there's nothing appealing to it honestly. There's absolutely no reason to use it or even give it a chance after knowing all these red flags

I think, 16 hours.

I suppose hasbara trolls could add shitty content to it, I’d figure it’s much more likely that they give it a bad reputation by spreading lies on other social media.

Ohh, that would make so much more sense! And yeah, I think this will get enshittified too

Updated the post. Check it out

[-] pir8t0x@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that's what I think too

[-] pir8t0x@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

I haven't. Literally heard about and discovered it just a few hours ago

Apparently, a lot of people are switching to it after Tiktok got acquired by US. But it's more like Instagram rather than Tiktok IMO

Learned about this social media called "UpScrolled" just now. What are your thoughts on it?

I actually searched it up online in order to know more and on Reddit, the reputation was not much good. For example, they were saying the platform is full of porn and gore and stuff. Another user was saying that they wouldn't be surprised if Zionists were filling up the platform with such stuff (because there's a lot of anti-Zionists and FreePalestine-movement supporters there.

Aside from this, I searched the app up on Aurora Store and it showed it has 4 trackers (which is a red flag for me). These trackers are: Sentry, Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) Core, OneSignal, Google Firebase Analytics.

My thoughts so far: As a Big Tech's alternative, I expected it to be at least decentralized and have no harmful trackers. But nope. It isn't decentralized, has trackers, not even open-source, has ads. Was disappointing to me.

I avoid a few brands because I don't find their products good. Other than this, I don't care about brands much. I choose to buy based on the quality rather than brand

Oh, Great news!

Just a thought but imagine if by any chance, they have already secretly succeeded in accomplishing this. And imagine if they're already doing it in secret. Do you think this is likely?

Do you care about celebrating birthdays much or no? Personally, I don't care much about celebrating birthdays.
