This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
How many quick short videos can one consume before they become tired of them? What is the bizarre appeal to that crap instead of actually doing something?
Yes I am typing here on Lemmy, you could make an argument, but damn you see ten short videos you have seen them all.
From Wikipedia: “
UpScrolled was launched in June 2025 by Recursive Methods Pty Ltd.[2][3] It was founded by Issam Hijazi, a Palestinian-Australian app developer who previously worked for IBM and Oracle.[3][4] UpScrolled is backed by the Tech for Palestine incubator.
So much for being impartial.
41k new users in 4 days? Not too bad, but certainly not a mass exodus. Tiktok's user base is quite large, although I don't know the US specific user base size. It is a shame people don't choose better alternatives though.
Ahh the topic for zero Lemmy/Fediverse fucks given.
I never use Tick Tock but when I saw this headline I decided to sign up for this. All I saw was a bunch of it Arabic writing and Arabic posts. It might be popular but it's not popular in North America. Deleted immediately.
Literally never heard of the website until today, this article is wildly overexaggerating
This advertisement is exaggerating, I would say.
I mean, it’s charted #1 on social media on the app stores. It’s an explosive rise in popularity, but that’s not unheard of. If anything, I suspect that the popularity is manufactured. It’s likely some company running an astroturf campaign to capitalize on the fact that people are tired of TikTok’s censorship BS.
It may just be a hype but I'm upvoting it.
