"I knew the users that would join UpScrolled would want to join it for a reason. That reason is that they have been suppressed, they have been oppressed, or they want out from the existing tech that they've been using for the past two decades"

One founder. One mission. 5 million people.

Issam sat down with @wired.com to tell the full story of UpScrolled.

A jury just ruled that Google/Meta are apps engineered for addiction. At UpScrolled, we're different:

100% chronological
No addictive loops
No shadow banning
Your data is YOURS

The only app that wants you to use it less. Now go touch grass!

Oops!
Guess we didn't get the memo.
UpScrolled is designed to let you log off and live life

Who's got their eyes on your private messages?

From the 8th of May, Meta is removing end-to-end encryption from Instagram DMs. Your private conversations could become their AI training data.

Early movers on every platform become its most recognisable voices.

UpScrolled is still wide open. Your content gets seen based on genuine interest, not optimisation tricks or invisible rules.

The community is here. The space is yours. ⬆️

This platform was built for you, and you already knew that.

At WebSummit, our CEO Issam said it to the world. UpScrolled was built to be the complete opposite of what came before. You decide what you say, what you talk about, and what you see.

Your voice.
Your community.

We hit 1M. Then 2M. Then we stopped counting and started feeling it…

Today, 5 MILLION. 🎉

This platform was never ours. It was always yours. To every voice that was told it didn't belong, you were the first ones here. We won't forget that.

Thank you for building this with us.

⁦UpScrolled⁩ ⁦(@UpScrolled)⁩ / ⁦UpScrolled⁩ Straight from our Founder & CEO @Issam - here's how we're taking action against harmful content and putting user safety at the heart of everything we build. Yo…

What does it take to build a safer social platform?
Issam Hijazi breaks it down.

Here is what Issam said: share.upscrolled.com/en/post/a574...

You could've stayed where you were. Stuck with what you knew. But you downloaded something new instead. What made you join UpScrolled?

When we launched six months ago, we grew to 150,000 in early January. Four days ago, we reached 1 million users. As of today, we hit 2.5 million users.

Our founder @issamhijazi.bsky.social shares why he built UpScrolled - and what's next.
"This is yours. We're just building it."
Here's a link to what Issam shares: share.upscrolled.com/en/post/4378...

We're reading every message.
The support has been overwhelming (in the best way), and we're
working as fast as we can to get back to everyone.
If you're waiting on a reply, we see you. We're on it.
Thank you for your patience

We didn't get here alone.
every download. every share. Every conversation you started about why free speech matters, that's what built this.
We're working hard to be worthy of your trust.
This is yours. We're just building it

This isn't an algorithm. This isn't a media push.
This is you, showing up and telling big tech: we want something different.
three countries. organic growth. real voices.
Thank you for believing in an alternative. This is yours

Well, this is new...
You showed up so fast our servers tapped out.
Frustrating? Yes. Emotional? Also yes.
We're a tiny team building what Big Tech stopped being. Right now, we're scaling on caffeine to keep up with what YOU started.
Bear with us. We're on it.
This is what real looks like.
