    It’s severe lack of features was its downfall. I signed up and my feed was full of random celebs with no way to filter it to people you follow (apparently they added this recently). But the main issue NO FCKING SEARCH, you can only search for accounts nothing else. Discoverability if you are not a famous person is basically 0. No hashtags so no discussion of specific trends or topics. No Trends in general.

      This was my biggest driver as well, I liked the platform but it lacked features and I too hate being flooded with people I don’t know on my feed.

      They are going to continue to bleed users because of lack of features.

        They’re going to add features. It’s typical for software development nowadays.

        You get out on the market early just to be there (or to exploit a favorable moment like feeding on Twitter’s carcass), then add features later.

        It works, too. People will grumble but at least they have something to grumble about right now. It beats a perfect service at an unspecified date later.
