UpScrolled

UpScrolled is an independent social media platform that does things differently. We believe social media should be social.

The "why" matters as much as the "what."

Our founder on stage at Web Summit Vancouver, on why UpScrolled exists.

The founder of @realUpScrolled, Issam Hijazi, says the algorithms behind mainstream social media were built to keep you addicted. So he built a platform without one.

Instead of a feed shaped by machine learning, he says Upscrolled runs chronologically by default, showing posts from the people you follow in the order they were posted. He says it does not use algorithms to control reach, and moderates only illegal content, with humans making the final call.

The platform surged this year, going from around 150,000 users to 2.5 million in a single week, according to Hijazi. He says it has since faced criticism over antisemitic content, which the platform is working to address, adding there is no place for hate speech on Upscrolled.

@Lowkey0nline exposes how a network of tech billionaires tied to Israel engineered an algorithmic coup to suppress dissent, alter your feed, and push you into fascism in real-time

It's World Social Media Day... Let's rebuild it.

More people. Less algorithm.
More conversations. Less noise.
More control. Less manipulation.

Social media isn't finished. It's still being built

Built to keep you hooked, every single one. The difference is whose side it is on.
We’re building social that works for you.

Enjoy it, then put it down and go live your life.
Which one is hardest for you to quit? 👇

''We discourage AI slop in general."

While others use AI to generate more content and engagement, we use it to improve systems, not replace people. As content gets easier to create, trust gets harder to earn. Credibility matters.
