Larry Ellison tool over Tiktok to stifle anti israel and pro Palestine voices and the NPCs thought it was all about China.
Told you so.
Does UpScrolled have a web or desktop version?
Currently, UpScrolled is available exclusively as a mobile app — downloadable on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
The app is fully supported on smartphones and tablets, giving you a seamless experience across mobile devices.
Web and desktop version are on our roadmap.
And no doubt the web version will pop up a massive blocker requiring you to make an account to even browse.
That's a no from me, dog.
Are these people unaware that YouTube Shorts is a thing?
I am and that is why I actively avoid.
No, they are just keenly aware that YouTube Shorts is shit by comparison.

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.
Tiktok’s user base is quite large
875 million to over 950 million daily active users (DAU) globally as of Jan 2026.
It is a shame people don’t choose better alternatives though.
TikTok was the better alternative. That's half the joke. As soon as it caught on, the plutocrats stepped in and seized control
Not unlike how Facebook bought out and gutted Instagram or JP Morgan took over Reddit and cleaned out all the lefties before taking it public.
That's before you get into the marketing budget that social media needs to build the kind of massive userbase you're asking for.
Ahh the topic for zero Lemmy/Fediverse fucks given.
Literally never heard of the website until today, this article is wildly overexaggerating
