Can't write notes from the app. I can take or upload a photo but there's no text entry box even though the keyboard pops up. This has been the case for at least a few weeks now. As a writer this is the single most useful feature of the app to me. If it ever gets fixed I'd revise the review. Note: everything works fine in a browser

The content and vibe of the app is great, but it still fails miserably at quick loading times and has errors when trying to update the profile bio. The chat function doesn't load at all and keeps showing notifications when there are none. It doesn't take much to make this a five star app, please focus on making this app better because especially the notes function seems to me like a better alternative to Twitter than some other apps popping up.

Easy to navigate. The algorithm works for me. It doesn't have the flexibility of discord for example. That's why it only got four out of five stars. It seems to provide a platform for rigorous thought, and meaningful dialogue. I trust the conservatives that I have included in my algorithm by my decisions. The bulwark for example, they give me a perspective I don't normally go to, but I like them and their perspective. The libertarian economic model is something I believe be flawed, but šŸ‘ā™„ļø
