Washington (QNN)- TikTok users are flocking to a new platform founded by a Palestinian after Trump ally and pro-Israel Larry Ellison officially took over the app. The move follows TikTok’s announcement of a deal to create a new US entity, giving Ellison control over content policies and the power to shape an anti-Palestinian agenda.
Guy Christensen, a TikTok influencer with more than 3 million followers, wrote on X, “TikTok users are fleeing to a new upstart social media called **UpScrolled ** after Larry Ellison purchased the platform. UpScrolled is founded by a Palestinian and promises no censorship and no billionaires.”
He added, “Yesterday, it broke into the top 15 most downloaded apps.” Several activists and social media users have joined the app in recent days.
My brother in Christ, Loops is right there!

We need people getting people in and sharing it all the time in their back pocket at the ready to talk about it. Seriously feels like I am one of the few pushing Loops up. Same with other people social media: Stoat, XMPP, Session, Molly/Signal, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc
Their mobile app is an APK file instead of a play store link. I dont’ see any servers besides the main Loops server so it’s not decentralized at all for now.
Upscrolled even mention this in their faq, stating that the current defederated options are not in a usable and scalable state yet. And keep in mind they started development about far before now, so back then there was nothing at all.
If Loops were finished and had multiple servers going it might have been a very attractive option for the current TikTok exodus. But it’s simply not done yet.
I wish more people used Loops, I think the idea of federated TikTok not bound by bullshit is a great idea!
Can I watch cool videos of Palestinian resistance fighters blowing up Israeli tanks with RPG’s there?
It’s federated, so even if it’s against the rules of one instance, it might be okay on another!
