Currently, the site is going through not very good times of blocking in Russia, absence and frequent changes of site addresses, as well as frequent site hacks, data theft and constant DDOSS attacks, half of the users leave and transfer data to other services. in 2022, the social network changed 7 domain names, due to frequent blocking in Russia, for pirated and prohibited content. in 2023, cases of the appearance of content involving minors, video and photo materials distributed by the site users themselves, either in private messages or in community chats, spread.
