Their performance has always been hit and more often miss. I was a fairly heavy user, a lot less now. From the hilariously shite search results, to their alien equivalent of the fail whale showing up a few times a month at least. Sometimes a refresh resolves, sometimes doing something else and then coming back later resolves it.
Don't get me started on the new UI, or how the old less awful UI loves to drag me back into the new extra shit one.
I don't know if I'm being more demanding, or extra pissy, or what. Is this not most people's experience of Reddit?
And they've had millions of dollars and nearly two decades to unfuck it. I still remember the /r/bestof post (linking to /r/askreddit) that taught us "502, it went through; 504, try once more." because commenting was occasionally a total dice roll and the error messages were obtuse.
If I have to eat some lag in the early days of Lemmy or wherever, so be it. I'm fed up with Reddit's shit, I'll try someone else's.
