Partiko Officially Sucks Now
I give up! There was a time when partiko saved my mortal steem soul. As a mobile only user I found steemit to be worse than a dial up experience on AOL circa 1994 (yes I'm that ancient) 🙄
I'm not here to bash stinc tho I am here to put @partiko on blast. It took me cursing at their spam bot to get a cryptic reply I posted a few days ago that they were "transitioning" nobody knows what that means, and idgaf at this point. I cashed out my partiko points on my last post.
The UX of of partiko has gotten progressively worse and worse over the last weeks, and now is basically impossible to use as I get "timeout" messages or "the steem blockchain is busy" or "502 bad gateway" Their dead air on the chain, lack of updates, disappearing act on their discord and shifty iOS platform has caused me to put the proverbial fork in them. IM DONE!
So this is a partiko rage quit.. I hope palnet enables features to allow for shortcuts to using bold and all the fun aesthetically pleasing post stuff. I've tried esteem and sadly it was very buggy as well. So currently mobile dapp front ends have a void to fill.
I cut my thumb so this is getting bloody difficult to type literally and figuratively speaking. (wipes screen) What else to bitch about? Oh some kid has sworn to fight Bernie and flag all that engage with him. So that's entertainment and proof of my post yesterday about man children running rampant on the chain. I'm not getting roped into that as I'm on the precipice of minnowhood and don't need the drama.
Well to wrap it up I'd consider cashing out your partiko points while you can, and if you're one of the great many that delegated to them you should know they're not doing shit. They did tell me that it's still functioning and a painful process which FUD says that's an exit strategy, but take it however you wish. It's malfunctioning and broken and nobody seems to be at the wheel. Shitloads of points amassed out there hope they're going to be accountable but as I said fuck em I'm over their bullshit!

It breaks my heart if they leave Steem, this team really has/had a vision for Steem, including onboarding deplatformed users from Tumblr, and using ads to finance their product.
But yeah, the silence is deafening, and I've noticed some weird time-outs on the app the past few days, which never happened before.
Sighs.
It's all growing pains, these apps coming and going, sometimes I get tired of it.
Now go take care of that thumb!
(Read your post on man children yesterday while on the go with no time to comment, but, hear, hear!)
Yea I hate seeing myself be a whiner but as a top engager I'm having a real difficult time doing my thing.. thx for the hear hear and hopefully partiko gets their act together asap
My heart will be broken if they leave the Steem blockchain ecosystem.
However, after reading this post from @skrammatters, what I would say is that Partiko is moving their backend to a different cloud provider.
Likewise, I hope you're correct. However they also said "it's been a painful decision for us" in another correspondence with me. I can't imagine changing clouds would be so dramatic or cause the month long silence and abandonment on discord and the chain..

I see your points. Now I am worried. And will also be very angry if Partiko shuts down the services on their side. If they stop the features provided directly by them, I am pretty sure we will be still able to use the app to interact with the Steem blockchain.
Wow thanks for the heads up! Sounds awful; I've only used esteem before 😊
Thank you to @wakeupkitty for featuring your post in her Pay It Forward Curation Contest entry 😊
The eye... creepy... but cool and original.
The eye is always watching 👁

Ah ok I'll give it a whirl thx mate

Is it an app? I am a mobile user too.

I think but I just went to steempeek.com and used steem connect to log in. It’s really bad on iOS but decent on droid. My connection is pretty good where I’m at most of the time. The app might be better if you download it but it’s not necessary

I check it out elsewhere, thanks;

Was LITERALLY just about to quit Partiko. Its all too suspiciously silent. I never use it to post just to comment. What are ya gonna use instead?
Posted using Partiko Android
Great question I can tell you I'm only aware you commented because of my first log in to steempeak..I have no recent notifications on partiko SMH..
Not only is parriko silent, they will occasionally chime in with quick "it's fixed" replies, but it's not at all.. Or only temporary.
A real shame that @partiko has dropped the ball as they were on such a good thing and could make it so much better yet. I know @aggroed did a post a few days ago and was trying to get in contact with @partiko as he has some plan for them apparently. Don't know how he is going with contacting them.

I can still use it. Esteem is not even loading and I am an only mobile blogger too.
So this means I can only use steemit.com and appics?

Partiko is working better today. Esteem I can’t fathom how it’s even released. Steemit is frustrating but eventually usually works after a few tries..

If it comes to steemit I saved 2 links... one to post and one to read.

🤔 i only get those errors while i am using slow wifi on mobile data everything seems fine
Posted using Partiko Android
I'm on the only 4g my second world country has lol.. How about the comments notifications going in and out, the search tool telling me it can't find users.. Real websites don't give me errors ig has never once given me a "timeout"
Yes I used partiko to reply haha, but I'm annoyed.. I can't handle silence when things are obviously messed up. And I had such high hopes for them..
everything is working well for 🤔 might be because i am on beta version
Posted using Partiko Android
Interesting I've never even seen partiko beta 🤔
Posted using Partiko Android
Its in playstore you have to scroll down (android only i think) to the bottom of the app page and it will have an option to join beta
Posted using Partiko Android
