LessWrong as a website has gotten much more buggy for me lately. 6 months ago it worked like clockwork, but recently I’m noticing that refreshes on my profile page take something like 18 seconds to complete, or even 504 (!). I’m trying to edit my old “pessimistic alignment” post now and the interface is just not letting me; the site just freezes for a while and then refuses to put the content in the text box for me to edit.
Marvelous. I didn’t talk about this because I thought that the problem was not on the side of LessWrong, since in my country a lot of things have been slowing down, blocking, denying access, and so on, and at least from three sides at the same time: the state / providers, others countries / companies and those who do not want problems.
In order to synchronize against the illusion of transparency, I will write specific errors that I myself see: bad gateway (seems to be somehow related to following links within the site and back); “Error: NotFoundError: Failed to execute removeChild on Node: The node to be removed is not a child of this node.” (red, replaces the entire page, sometimes appears when you click “submit”); long page loading at the beginning; long loading of the remaining page after the update of the profile karma indicator and new messages has loaded; when double-clicking (on the phone), the voice is not amplified, but reset.
The performance problems have also been annoying me, though I don’t think it’s been 6 months since they’ve gotten worse (I think it’s been more like 4 weeks based on my read of the logs, which have sadly overlapped with some time period where it’s been hard for me or others to focus on fixing them). I’ve really hated it, and if I didn’t have COVID right now, would probably be trying to fix them right now.
Not sure what’s up about the editor. I don’t think I’ve experienced many additional problems here, though we have been rolling out a new editor, so new bugs aren’t that surprising. A bug report via Intercom would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds very likely upon reflection that I could be misremembering them to that far out; I just picked a date upon which the site definitively worked fast.

Have you reported this to the staff?
