I'm on UpScrolled!!

At the Tech For Palestine Bay Area Summit last week where I was part of this amazing group of volunteers, I learned about UpScrolled.

A social media platform that won't shadowban me? A social media platform that's for free speech? A social media platform that's for the people? Let's go!

I can't wait to connect with you all there, Insha'Allah 😁

1/30 Edited to

... Read moreHaving recently become part of the UpScrolled community, I am impressed by its clear commitment to free speech and user-friendly policies. Unlike many mainstream platforms that often restrict content or shadowban users without transparency, UpScrolled encourages open dialogue and respects users' rights to express their views. This refreshing approach not only fosters a more welcoming environment but also promotes diversity of thought. One of the key highlights of UpScrolled is its grassroots nature—originating from communities like the Tech For Palestine Bay Area Summit where volunteers rally to create technology that supports meaningful causes. Being part of this platform feels like joining a movement that prioritizes people over algorithms. The interface is intuitive and invites genuine interaction rather than engagement driven by controversial algorithms. For those who have experienced frustration with shadowbans or unfair content moderation elsewhere, UpScrolled offers a promising alternative. It also aligns well with users seeking digital spaces that uphold transparency and fairness. From my experience, it’s easy to build connections and share content without fear of being unfairly suppressed, making social media a more positive experience. If you're passionate about free speech and tired of feeling censored on bigger platforms, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring UpScrolled. It's an exciting time to be part of a social media platform built on principles of openness, respect, and community-driven values. Looking forward to connecting with more like-minded individuals who believe in the power of authentic social interaction.

my partner and I decided to just hang out at home with no plans. We didn’t need to talk much sometimes we scrolled on our phones, sometimes we just stared out the window. At one point, I rested my head on their shoulder, and they held my hand without saying a word. It felt so easy and comforting, l

An advertisement for Dick's Sporting Goods shows Ugg-style slippers for $19, with text asking, 'Have you seen this ad? How not to get scammed.' The image highlights a common scam tactic during the holiday season.
This image illustrates 'THE SKETCHY URL' red flag, showing a phone displaying 'www.dickssportingssale.com' with Ugg boots for $29.98. The text warns about scam URLs using words like 'sale' or 'live' and advises checking the copyright year.

TLDR: there is so much more to life than our screens. Real life begins outside of these made up online landscapes we’ve created. Go outside. Make shitty art. Hug a tree or a loved one. Strike up a conversation with a stranger. Life is meant to be lived, not scrolled past.
