This app, as well as the website on PC, is so unbearably slow that it has frozen my phone and dragged my PC's speed to an absolute crawl just by being open. I've done everything from clearing the cache on phone and PC, to uninstalling & reinstalling (or shutting off my PC), to fix the issue; and nothing fixes the issue, but the fact that it's happening to multiple people everywhere on multiple devices already shows the issue is not on my end.

It randomly stopped requesting permission to media and file storage I can't post pictures. I've looked through the various places on my phone where you can give access to allow it to do that and it doesn't show anywhere like the app itself isn't asking to have those permissions and there is no option to allow it. I've troubleshooted clear catch, uninstall, restart, look at app management, go to special permissions, ect nothing, even in the list of all apps that can access media x isn't there.

if I have to verify that "yes I am a person" one more time I'm going to go insane every other comment I post I get redirected to a "confirm you're a person" page, it's ridiculous... the "graphic content" warning as a "show" option, but it doesn't work half the time so the image stays hidden and there's nothing I can do about it even when I have that setting disabled...
