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.

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.

It may just be a hype but I'm upvoting it.
