It used to be one of my favourite places, but I deleted my account about a week ago. The newish mob that own it turfed out all the old staff and mods and are now "AI first". As a consequence stuffs breaking left right and centre and all the accounts that made it a community have skadaddelled it's gone fully rogue this week but I understand.

I liked the interwebs when it was for cute (non AI and not drugged for ease) animals and fun weirdos.

Yeah the breakdown of notifications was the last straw for a lot of people. It's bad enough that the videos would load, half play and then freeze lol, but I was putting up with that because I loved some of the users. Now they aren't taking uploads from Ukraine. A few have set up discords but I hate the discord format, it's like 100 people talking at once.
