Oh yeah? I’ve never used the main app/site

They’re turning it into a magazine - wonder when they’ll add personalisation algo

Yeah maybe - I imagine the tech debt is hard to manage when you fire 80% of your staff.

I’m on the latest version of the app and latest iOS version so I suspect I’m not alone

So many ways:

• frequent outages
• spaces drop out frequently
• blue membership gives credibility to fraudsters
• I haven’t been able to reply on mobile for the last 2 weeks
• blue features just stopped working a few weeks ago and nothings happened (dark mode, custom icons)
• analytics are inaccurate and have large gaps
• it’s awash with bots
• algo works against ux

I like the idea they think they can make an everything app when as a text app it’s so utterly broken

Oof, felt this right in the geriatric millennials.

Mfer I was doing assignments where I had to scroll through index cards to find the encyclopaedia, then hand write out the essay.

It’s weird when you go from being the disruptor demographic to realising that when your 5 yo kid jokes about the 80s it’s as far away in time to him as the 1940s we’re to me - for him it’s a 2d, pre-Alexa, analog dystopia.

And I’m only 42.

Welcome to life after 40 - I’ve been an early adopter all my life, but my network hasn’t moved with me.

As a result joining Snapchat has no value for me.

So I tend to use apps that are friend-agnostic like this and TIkTok.

Side note: my fave messaging app is Confide, it only reveals redacted words as you run your finger over them, and then deletes. So it’s impossible to screenshot.

If you work it out lemme know, the “bookmark”, it does nothing!”
