Dear @tech4palestine, I'm concerned about UpScrolled

Dear @tech4palestine,

I'm concerned that many Palestinian people are using your #UpScrolled software and
it's not #FreeSoftware, and it uses trackers from companies aligned with
Israel politics.

In this situation, whatever you're own politics, I think this can be dangerous to #Palestinians to use unproven cryptography with unknown security practices.

What's your take on this?

#FreePalestine #EndAllWars

Dear @tech4palestine,

the #UpScrolled website states: "Let’s be honest. A lot of us are still on Instagram because we don’t have a real alternative. [...] People are ready to leave. Until now, there just wasn’t anywhere to go."

This is plain wrong. There is an alternative to Instagrim, it's called @PixelFed. It's self-hosted free software that federates over #ActivityPub.

It's not secure as would be @signalapp but for the same usage as Instagrim, it's a perfect match.
