This app could potentially supplant Tik Tok overtime. As Tik Tok's censorship following it's acquisition by US investors such as Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX, and UpScrolled already having questionable ethics, this may be the path forward.

That mixed with not having an algorithm, I've seen a lot of sexual stuff I was not looking for.

That mixed with not having an algorithm

Is not that a part of the advantage? You, the person, deciding what you want to see and follow. I think Mastodon and BlueSky are similar in that regard.

I've seen a lot of sexual stuff I was not looking for.

Follow the developer of the app and you’ll understand why;

as you may already know, many bad actors are trying to flood the platform with all kinds of illegal and nasty content, for the obvious reasons. we are working around the clock to counter this. it will get better. we apologize for any disgusting content you may encounter while we fix this.

I'm fine with not having an algorithm I just don't feel the need to see some ladies twat unless I'm looking for that content specifically. I'm not saying the platform is bad, just it needs some work still.

Then why even mentioning it (in a more negative than neutral tone)?

Whether you use the platform or not, does not really matter (to me). You are right the platform needs some work and they’re putting the work while being one of social media platform that’s being targeted by Zionists.

I have written what, I wanted to write. I have shown the text and image the developer wrote. That’s about it. I’ll leave it at that, I guess.

I mentioned the algorithm BECAUSE that's why I saw sexual content. No algorithm means when I was scrolling the discover page, I was just getting the most recently uploaded content therefore, sexual content. To be fair, when I first signed up for TikTok back in the day that's what the algorithm tried to shove at me as well.

I think it has potential as a platform, I still have it installed, I was just sharing my experience.

If it doesn't have an algorithm aren't you responsible for what you're seeing?

No because the main feed is just whatever is new. Or at least it was a month ago when I used it last.

Not unless you count scrolling up a bit as consent to see nsfl stuff.
