To add another data point from someone who used to use the site regularly but still occasionally checks in once and a while, I have noticed a significant degradation in quality for the main feed and random outages/errors seem to crop up a lot more frequently. But aside from our respective pieces of anecdotal evidence, we’ve seen how pathetically they’ve been recently handling scaling and technical issues with high traffic events like the Desantis campaign announcement.
My suggested feed is absolutely useless, I'm not interested in what Musk has to say and I'm especially not interested in the unfiltered mouth diarrhea from MAGA morons like MTG. I don't even live in the US, why would I be interested in seeing it?
