Yeah, I find so many bugs in reddit that it's surprising to me that a more streamlined replacement hasn't arisen. But I get shouted down if I say my experience with Elon's buggy Twitter 2.0 is about on par with how my reddit experience has been for years and yet reddit is still massively popular. Shrug. I guess it's hard to believe that sometimes market conditions can overcome bad engineering and then you add all the politics around Twitter's layoffs and people get raw.

> But I get shouted down if I say my experience with Elon's buggy Twitter 2.0 What visible changes have been done since Elon took over Twitter + are buggy changes? I hardly notice anything different to be honest. There is a view counter and more people have the blue checkmark, otherwise things mostly seems to be the same. The ads panel (for publishing ads) is as broken as it has always been, so seems it has neither improved nor declined.

  I've had a few instances of data inconsistencies. Like a tweet says it has three likes, but you check which who's liked it it's only one person. Still very far from the same league as new reddit's jank.

  Well here's what the people who said reddit is great and Twitter sucks yelled at me: - They went down in Australia for a day. - The "For You" tab keeps selecting itself. - The Twitter feed keeps injecting randos that aren't followed. - Nothing is there when you click on a notification sometimes. There are phantom likes and retweets. - For a while people were unable to change their display name or 2FA would break. - The view counter doesn't match the analytics view counter. - Latencies are high Apparently nobody can agree if a website is bad. Depending on whatever you're arguing, one is great and the other is terrible. As for reddit, I've been getting phantom notifications, incorrect comment counts on posts, and a 10-15 minute block of "Reddit is down" pages on a monthly basis for years. So as far as I'm concerned, they're both pretty bad.
