  Personally, I don’t feel comfortable giving my ID to social media. Especially not with the many data breaches that are happening these days. I think it was a month or three ago that Discord had their data breach and got thousands of ID’s stolen of people.

  Yet Discord still decides to push forward their “verification system with ID or face scan”.

  Also here’s a screenshot of a comment someone once made and that also got me thinking about the future of “showing your ID and/ or Face scan to ‘protect the kids’”. Another tone; people and especially teenagers will nearly always find ways to get around rules. I mean, we all were teenagers before and we often also got around the rules.

  I’m fine with not having an algorithm

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

  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.

  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 don’t know what upscrolled is, but if it’s not federated then who cares?

  You care enough to write about the specific app that, you don’t know about.

  Your account is 4 days old, that says enough. I won’t respond to you after this comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops is a new short form platform created by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops is a new short form platform created by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been on UpScrolled for about 23-25 days and have not seen any Nazi stuff. However, I keep my feed and the people I follow mainly about Anime and Palestine.

  If there’s indeed Nazi stuff on it, I hope the developer removes it. Zionism and Nazi are both insanely shit ideologies that should have never come to existence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops is a new short form platform created by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  UpScrolled already having questionable ethics

  Which questionable ethics? I’m out of the loop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you called someone "skinface" it would feel like a huge insult even though it's meaningless and people's faces are made out of skin.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  any word can sound like an insult if you say it with the right tone, I think?

  Oh, definitely! I’m half European and half Arabian and living in Europe. Back in my teenage days, when having a huge conflict at school. I would shout “ibn” which just means “son”. Shout it in the right tone when angry and people will think it is some huge insult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Free Tool Says it Can Bypass Discord's Age Verification Check With a 3D Model⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool that it is possible but I rather ditch Discord when this is forced upon me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok's 'Addictive Design' Found to Be Illegal in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Illegal, certainly. Are they going to do something about it, definitely not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok faces app deletions, censorship claims and glitches in days after its ownership change⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have joined yesterday and so far, no Nazi problem on my feed. However, it is mostly regarding politics.

  I keep my feed focused on anime as far as that’s possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok faces app deletions, censorship claims and glitches in days after its ownership change⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which domain? I have not linked anything. UpScrolled is an app that’s available to download on both IOS and Android devices though, they don’t have a website yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok faces app deletions, censorship claims and glitches in days after its ownership change⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently some people are going over to UpScrolled. It is an Palestinian-made app similar to TikTok/ Instagram.

  I have tried UpScrolled but it is still barebones but seems interesting (imo).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet ‘Amelia’: the AI-generated British schoolgirl who is a far-right social media star⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised the AI has purple hair. Usually, Far-right are against things that are not in the “normal” (blonde, black or brunette).

  The title though “far right social media star”. The world seems to be going on fire more and more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks cool but only going to play it when, it is 🏴‍☠️. I refuse to pay so much and then to be forced to get th DLCs for even more money. If it won’t be 🏴‍☠️ then I simply will not play the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure how to feel about all of this. I loved the first Division game, the winter atmosphere and snow was amazing.

  But then Division 2 happened and the charm just fell off for me. Not to mention the continued crashing issues on PC are horrendous. Regret purchasing the Division 2 on PC.

  Now hearing they are developing Divison making me hope for another winter style Division but worried about the crash issues on PC and them not even fixing the crash issues in the first place.

  Now them announcing layoffs isn’t another good development.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ain’t got those amazing Nintendo games though. Glhf finding a Mario Cart replacement that is actually as good.

  This is not entirely true. Depending on the stance of the person regarding piracy. You can definitely play Mario Kart on the Steam Deck. Emulations for PS1 PS2, Switch 1 exist (there are more but these I know on the top of my head).

  The Steam Deck can play nearly all Switch 1 titles through emulation. Yes, developers were taken down but the emulators do still work perfectly fine (I’m saying this as Steam Deck owner and using Emulators myself).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this already done with Mario game(s)? I think it was Super Mario Deluxe, where if you die enough times, Luigi shows up and will be doing the entire level for you including the ‘boss’ fight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: If you're forced to use Microsoft 365 for whatever reason you can at-least get a cheaper plan that doesn't include the AI features⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would just suggest using Massgrave and never pay a dime to Microsoft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should leftists who are anti-authoritarian use the term "comrade"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have enough political knowledge but, isn’t “comrade” usually related to communism?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing, absolutely nothing. My backlog is huge with games that have hours to play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Still playing Persona 3 Reload, I think I’m around 75% of the story. The game is, eh, okay-ish.

  To be honest, was bored most of the entire game, so bored that I just used a Trainer to rush through the dungeons. Only now it is getting a little bit interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It just amazes me how to doing the Nazi salute, uniforms and speech’s are entirely okay now. However, being against it gets you banned.

  The world has gone a full circle and we are back to the days were fascism, hatred and all that is okay. Unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MKBHD's Panels wallpaper app is shutting down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when it first launched, people managed to get the wallpapers for free somehow. Managed to get them too and they were nothing really special and of course some were AI-ish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix kills casting from phones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just go Piracy. Real-Debrid + Stremio, Torrent + Hayase or anything else that’s with Piracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are so many games to play and so little time. It’s a little suffocating.

  • Persona 3 Reload.
  • After Love EP.
  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (just mindlessly fun).
  • Trying out Constance game.

  Also debating to purchase Persona 5 Royal on Steam (on sale for €21) and play it with a Trainer on the Steam Deck. Already played the game on PS4 and… just so little time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israeli society is truly gone so outrageously far right that translation from Hebrew is now disabled on X (#Twitter) as of Nov16⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I consider Israel as the new Nazi-Germany but then in Modern Times. Everything they say and do aligns with the Nazi ideology.

  Especially their government, political people and their voters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people make such a big deal over ages of someone's account on here?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t speak for others but I take few day-old accounts and their opinions with a grain of salt. Often it happens that it is just a troll to bait other people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman and husband reportedly working to genetically engineer babies from having hereditary disease⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This really reminds me of “Brave New World”, kind of scary actually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like your profile is an identity of you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, not really. An account/ profile is just that. An account to use to interact with said platform.

  Especially on centralized platforms like Reddit, Instagram and such. It just means nothing. Your “karma” on Reddit means nothing, can be manipulated etc. Account can be banned for no reason. Similar on any other platform.

  Neither do I use any of these platforms for friends. I keep the accounts private from my usual real life. If I want to keep in touch with someone, it’ll usually be through WhatsApp.

  If I lose for example the Reddit or Instagram account. That’s okay. Sucks but okay. These platforms are filled with trash and moderated by trash (including the actual CEOs).
