UpScrolled Hits 2.5M Users as It Commits to Transparent Policies, marking a major milestone for the social network. The platform, founded by Issam Hijazi, emphasizes no shadowbanning and a creator-friendly platform. UpScrolled users worldwide have quickly embraced this diverse content platform, appreciating its stand against biased censorship and social media censorship practices.
The rapid growth follows TikTok’s U.S. ownership change, which shifted attention to alternative social networks. UpScrolled merges features from Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), creating a space that supports all voices. Hijazi announced at Web Summit Qatar that the platform grew from 150,000 users in early January to 2.5 million in just weeks. The surge reflects both the platform’s transparency and effective user retention strategies.
UpScrolled actively avoids amplification algorithms, ensuring no selective censorship or shadowbanning. Community guidelines are being developed with user feedback integration and legal compliance across regions. While some users raised concerns about pornography and nudity, the platform addresses these through careful content moderation without suppressing viewpoints. This approach also reduces the mental health impact of social media by avoiding addictive platform design for profit.
Investor interest in social networks is growing, and UpScrolled’s ethical approach and platform transparency set it apart. By focusing on features to retain users after rapid growth and maintaining user data privacy, the network aims to build a long-term, creator-focused ecosystem. Its commitment to avoiding unfair practices highlights its critique of major tech corporations’ unethical practices.
UpScrolled Hits 2.5M Users as It Commits to Transparent Policies, showing how social networks can grow responsibly while respecting creators. Its transparent policies, user-driven moderation, and diverse content platform promise sustainable growth.
