Most recent example:

the site (or at least lemmy.world) is sooo slooow. Basic functions like loading images take me back to the dial-up era of “click the image then do something else while it loads,” which is downright ridiculous in the 2020s. Again I’ve stuck with it because I want to support the fediverse, but 99% of users won’t.

        Still fast for me in the US, although occasionally it is slow to load images on a phone and I can’t tell if it is just the site or if it is a bad phone connection. I assumed it was the phone connection because it is reliably fast on a PC.

        Maybe user error, then? Could be someone having a misconfigured home network. Or computer/phone with a broken or littered browser? If it’s the location, that’s probably due to some networking/peering/DNS issues, or I’m just not around when it’s evening in the USA and usage and stress on the servers pike. Did someome destroy yet another underseas cable? Or did the current US administration mess with the internet some more?
