SneedChat Complaint Thread

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

Had a weird bug happen where I couldn't edit or delete my own messages. Refreshing the page fixed it.

I had something like this happen recently too. Your chat identity is baked into the page load
JavaScript: 
const APP = {
        chat_ws_url: "https://kiwifarms.st:9443/chat.ws",
        user: {"id":58227,"username":"Flaming Dumpster","avatar_url":"/data/avatars/m/58/58227.jpg?1696058130","ignored_users":[],"is_staff":false},
    };
I wonder if it thought you were a guest or somebody else (like if the page cached) upon page load. If it happens again, open up your JavaScript console (F12) and enter "APP" to dump out the properties.

I can join every room except General Chat. I tried searching if this is a feature or a bug since I don't have many posts, but couldn't find anything.

I get this message: "You cannot join this room. Try refreshing. If you still have issues, post in the Sneedchat Discussion thread."

General Chat is locked behind an undisclosed activity barrier. Spend some more time interacting in threads and eventually it'll open up.
Trust me though, you aren't missing much. General Chat is autistic.

Not a complaint, but something for CSSpergs that prefer square avatars and know how to operate a user style manager.
CSS: 
/* Square Avatars in Sneedchat */
.chat-message .avatar, .avatar {
    border-radius: 0;
}
 
Josh sneed chat is sick, it keeps eating everyone's messages, and disconnecting every minute. When you hit enter it auto disconnects and eats the message. I can no longer sneed effectively.
 
None of the chats are working for me right now. Site itself appears to be working fine.
 
I hate the new img-src CSP limiting image embeds in chat to litter.catbox.moe files.catbox.moe catbox.moe i.postimg.cc. Postimg intercepts direct images with web 2.0 HTML shit if you open in a new tab. Catbox is not an acceptable alternative as it blocks Tor users. Neither host is supported by ShareX too.

I'm especially pissed off because I setup i.ddos.lgbt for the purpose of serving images in chat that are speedy and won't fuck with users if they want to see them in 1:1 size, but now it's useless. I'm not the only one, @klab has something similar

Yes I get the concern about IP grabbers, but that issue has existed since day 1 of Sneedchat, why the sudden change? Is Catbox and postimg somehow more trustworthy? Their admins can still easily track IPs from the forum because you have no referrer policy on the images https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#referrerpolicy

i wish sneedchat had a feature where the message you're sending does not disappear from the send box until it confirms it actually sent, like it could gray out the sendbox so you can't edit the message while it's confirming it sent

that might annoy ppl who will split a single sentence into like 3 different consecutive messages for no reason but tbh that shit is annoying and it would be a nice side bonus if the change made them do that less

oh and I also wish for it to stop scrubbing the chat history whenever it loses connection

Message edits get double escaped. This causes HTML characters in edits to show up as their escaped equivalents (e.g. < ).
 
Sneedchat has some kind of RAM leak on my end. It's fine if I just browse the front page for a minute or two and then refresh or leave the page, but if I do not refresh the page and just chat the time away, it starts slowing down and getting laggier the longer I stay on it. I observe a steady RAM usage increase the longer I'm on chat. Just today, I left the home page on with sneedchat running and went to have some dinner, came back and my RAM usage had increased by 2GB and the homepage was so slow it was essentially unusable. Both of these issues were promptly resolved when I closed the tab.

I'm using Brave Browser on Windows 11. This problem has persisted since the beginning of Sneedchat's implementation. I've just resorted to using other websites but I'm kinda miffed that this single problem dictates that I can't sneed with other kiwis. Pls do the needful.

I've noticed this problem too but it only seems to affect the homepage. Going directly to the iframe URL https://kiwifarms.st/test-chat?style=dark it works fine, no memory leaks.

Gave it a try but this too becomes unresponsive and starts hogging a GB or two of RAM after a couple hours. Definitely a sneedchat issue.

Are you a gen chat user? Wonder if it's something funny going on with the user list as that chat has a lot of users. Does it dip if you swap channels? What about extensions? I'm using Brave with the following extensions and things are working fine: uBlock Origin, GoFullPage, Proxy SwitchyOmega

Following up with your inquiry on extensions, I tested having the chat open on an incognito window which disables extensions and it's silky smooth. After some trial and error, the culprit seems to be a combination of AdNauseam and Imagus. (why would that even i don't ima fuck a doooood)

So far so good, hope it stays that way. Thanks for the input.

Actually looks like a super useful extension for Sneedchat so I've installed it to see if it'll blow up my browser. Been a few hours and no issues so far.

Yeah sounds like the issue was a setting I had which made images preload on page-load. Turned it back to no preload at all and it's been running good too.
