For all the idiots applauding Anthropic yesterday
It's not unmoderated. It just grew too fast for the moderators - they've since added tons more and should have the banned stuff under control
Google restored it
Hey. I've seen alot of you joined upscrolled when the Nazis and Zionists were attacking it with filth and some accounts got moderated by mistake. This is a developing app with limited staff at the time to moderate. Nazi content is gone and trans accounts flourish
Bring new stuff to Upscrolled, it's for everything
This was an error from brand new moderators during a turbulent frantic scale up. Issam called out that the trans community was welcome in his last video
So refreshing to see social media that cares - about everyone. Makes other platforms' community guidelines & policies seem so unserious. Bravo, upscrolled.
👏👏👏👏

🎥 WATCH | UpScrolled announced today that it has surpassed 2.5 million users, up from just 150,000 in early January. “Big tech has proven that it is not ethical,” founder @iHijazi said at the Qatar Web Summit in Doha tonight. “They have enabled genocide. I’m going to say that clearly. The technology they’ve provided to certain regimes has enabled the killing of people within a very small area. I think we all know where that is—Gaza,” he told The Economist’s @glcarlstrom . In the clip below, Hijazi lays out what big tech gets wrong and why he felt compelled to create @realUpScrolled .

We literally hired the moderators on Wednesday or Thursday, with 40,000 report backlog
The entire company was one guy til a week ago. I understand your concerns and n word handles weren't an issue til this week and they're getting addressed now
Thanks, will read
Sorry about that. Can you send details to support@upscrolled.com to get reinstated? New mods went too hard with bans, working on it
Sorry, teething problems from insane growth. It's not anti any of those things
It's not
Trust me you are welcome there. Teething problems from going 10x ing user base in a week
Not automated, just new moderators. Went from 180k users and 1 part time moderator to 1M users in 3 days. Catching up
Yes all the content moderators are brand new and are making mistakes. It's being rectified
This was in error. Email support@upscrolled.com with details and account info and this will be addressed
If you're going to WebSummit, come to the T4P meetup on Tuesday at 4pm at Meetup 2. It's right before the Palestine meetup in the same spot. We'll have founders from T4P projects like UpScrolled and Thaura!
We're working on it!
Yeah it's number one on the app store and a million people just joined
Made it to #1!
Hey folks, I know over here on the left we like to stab our allies in the face, but let's give UpScrolled a tiny bit of grace as they fix all the things.
A tiny tiny startup is solving our biggest problem - billionaire control of our speech. We need this. They will sort it out, I promise
