An Australian app, so you can say "Epstein" on this one but still not "stop the genocide and colonisation of Palestine". At least the hate speech manager (for now) isn't an ex-IDF Zionist and the platform (for now) is not expressly pro-Israel / pro-genocide.

Isn't upscrolled created by a Palestinian? I doubt he'd be okay with censoring a genocide against his people.

Is "remain ‘impartial’ to political agendas" a dogwhistle for "tolerates Nazis" or have I just become too cynical
No you're not too cynical. You're paying attention

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.

They are switching in huge numbers. Literally dozens!
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.
Wow the ads for this app keep appearing! It will be another blue sky in less than a year
