I had a random idea for a potential Fediverse platform: what if someone took the idea and design of Upscrolled, but as a decentralized, federated alternative?

Pro-Palestine protesters, users. etc are flocking to US, given the crackdown towards them on other platforms and sites.

Having a federated alternative to Upscrolled could potentially bring in more users, as well as introduce more people to the Fediverse.

Not to mention that there has already been talk of companies (ie Apple, Google, etc) removing US from their App Stores.

EDIT: I made a post on the Upscrolled Subreddit, about whether or not Upscrolled should consider potential federation.

    If it is decentralized it means there will be instance of all type of ideology including zionists. I would rather promote the fediverse platform we already have and instances that are intolersnt to settler colonialism, occupation and genocide
