It's frustrating to see social media platforms keep popping up with nebulous claims to be better that are just policies, rather than fundamental features of the software (i.e., using open protocols like ActivityPub or even ATProto)

I'm sure the people behind UpScrolled have the best of intentions, but I can't imagine they'll escape the monkey's paw of investor demands, and then people will have to find something else ad infinitum
