Algorithm Issues
The content algorithm fails to accurately reflect user interests, often flooding feeds with irrelevant or unwanted content despite user efforts to curate their experience. This misalignment diminishes user satisfaction and engagement.
I’m flooded with bad anime, giant anime boobs, etc., despite having zero interest in any of these things.
Accessibility Challenges
The app's accessibility features, particularly for VoiceOver users, are inadequate, making navigation cumbersome and frustrating. This lack of accessibility support limits the app's usability for visually impaired users.
Account Suspension
New accounts are frequently and inexplicably suspended, often immediately after creation, without clear justification or recourse. This aggressive suspension policy deters new users and damages the platform's reputation.

Despite having set up all my notifications permissions, I have not once received a single notification.
Captcha Frustrations
