Hey folks, I know over here on the left we like to stab our allies in the face, but let's give UpScrolled a tiny bit of grace as they fix all the things.
A tiny tiny startup is solving our biggest problem - billionaire control of our speech. We need this. They will sort it out, I promise
@paulbiggar I hadn't seen any discussion of upscrolled, positive or negative, but I have to wonder, what is it doing that isn't solved better already by the fediverse or perhaps bluesky?
Their argument seems to be 'decentralisation doesn't work', and yet centralisation seems to risk leading to a lot of the problems that they claim to be trying to solve.
@paulbiggar @benjamineskola makes sense, but being targeted at the mainstream shouldn't preclude it federating with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, etc.
Is it on their roadmap, at least?
@paulbiggar @benjamineskola it seems that the FAQ had been updated since the last time I checked

We’re building interoperable by design (clean exports, stable APIs) and will add optional bridges to open protocols as they mature, so you can reach more people without sacrificing speed or simplicity.
