### 1/5 — البرنامج يلفظ انفاسه الاخيرة

*2026-08-23, version 7.190*

مع الاسف ان البرنامج من اسوء الى اسوء ومع كل تحديث تحسهم غصب يبون الناس ماتستخدم البرنامج ، 90% من اليودلات صارت تروح شقاوة وحساس ، بوتات تنشر 24/7 ومايجيها باند ولا تنحذف يودلاتها ، ويودلات باقي المملكة الي تطلع بالصفحة الرئيسية من اسوء الاضافات الي صارت بالبرنامج ، غير الاعلانات الي بالصفحة الرئيسية او داخل اليودلة ومايمديك تقفل الصوت منها لو شغلته بالغلط ، كل شي غلط في غلط في البرنامج وغصب يموت ف ليش الواحد يستمر في برنامج ادارته ماتبيه ينجح!

### 5/5 — ارجو فك الحظر

*2026-08-13, version 7.189*

### 1/5 — Absolut dämlich

*2026-08-11, version 7.189*

Die Mods und überwiegenden User sind männlich und dementsprechend wird alles von Männern gepostete reported und von den Mods gelöscht aber geilen sich an Frauenbilder auf und lassen sie drin obwohl sie gegen die Guidelines verstoßen. Jodel wird von horny Typen moderiert die sich nudes von jungen Frauen erhoffen. Widerlich.
