So there's a retry mechanic on the app - if it fails to send, it retries again (both immediately and a bit later if the user has already closed the app.).
The issue is with spotty internet, when your device sends the request, the server sees it and publishes the comment, but when it sends back the response to your device to let it know that it worked, the device doesn't get the memo because of the lag. So your phone thinks it failed to send and sends it again.
Well that's just confusing to the software.

Admittedly, I’ve not paid a lot of attention to Russia over the years, but I do have a sense, rightly or wrongly, that a “lock down” on freedom is kind of their thing. I’d be more surprised if they weren’t locking down online freedom along with any other type of freedom. They’re like communism on steroids…always have been.
That's crazy, probably has to go to a safe house now, so he doesn't get kidnapped or pinged off.
Is there a safe place from an international Wanted List? If he gets pinged that will just make him a marter and the app will take off faster.
I mean true, but still.
Yup any way to control the media to control the way the population thinks.....it's never about national security.
