I am baffled any time I’m on facebook how horrid it is. Loads insanely slowly, won’t accept picture uploads at random, randomly doesn’t let you share to people in your friends group (it will just hide people for no reason). Such a terrible website. Sadly I have to stay on it for friends and music reasons (there is nothing else anyone I know uses) but man, it’s crazy how badly they want you to install their spyware app so you don’t use the browser version.
There’s so many dark patterns to it. You’ll notice that it’s impossible to bookmark your “friends” feed. At every opportunity you get directed back to your wall, which is 95% shit you’re not subscribed to.
And yes, uploads fail. You can’t upload webp. Uploads randomly orient 90° off.
When responding to posts, the page will jump on every keystroke. It will then close the keyboard unexpectedly and reveal a button that subscribes to 4 random groups in one misclick.
If you move away to another tab or app for 30 seconds, the whole page reloads and you lose your place.
You’d think that with a trillion dollars you could get a shitty PHP feed to work smoothly.
Zuck has us cucked.
I’ve experienced every single thing you’ve mentioned ! I knew it wasn’t just me though my friends say im crazy and the only one who has these issues lol. Probably because they all use chrome or install the garbage app which I refuse.
Firefox mobile too?
I’d blame the gecko, but literally NO other site breaks like this.
I am pretty sure the whole thing uses React. You know, the framework created by Facebook.
I love react. It’s so straightforward until it collapses onto a tangled mess of hooks, refs, callbacks and dependencies.
I just finished updating an app to 0.82.1 today and JFC it was a mess.
Seriously speaking, what is option B? Start new projects in Svelte? Go back to angular or vue?
Start a new life on a farm.
But seriously, it was mostly because my coworkers don’t realise when the linter underlines broken stuff in red. You upgrade it, and and your project has 180 errors and you have no idea which ones are new.
