Dysfunctional. Tapping a Notes notification does not take you to that note. Instead, you start at the home screen and have to search and scroll to find it. App does not allow editing comments. Plus many other things that don't have basic function. I love the platform, but please fix this app instead of rolling out more and more features. Or just make the mobile website more functional. It does many wacky, frustrating things as well.

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 👍♥️

Downgraded my rating to four stars because the application has started to act unusual on Android, for instance the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen disappear and audio will not play when you navigate to another application like it does for video. Hopefully these issues will be addressed.
