UpScrolled, a new social media platform that says it does not shadowban or censor users, ranks No. 12 on Apple’s app store among free apps, one spot above TikTok.
Social media app UpScrolled said its servers crashed earlier today because so many new users are downloading the app as it capitalizes on user discontent with TikTok, which has alienated some users who accuse it of censoring anti- Trump videos after spinning off its U.
