I keep getting the error (-1) bad gateway. Is it possibly my internet? Is the file too big? I seriously don’t know how to fix this. I just don’t understand how everyone else is able to post high quality images but I somehow can’t even get one photo through. ### 1/5 — Doesn't allow proton domain emails *2026-08-13, version 5.193.890* But allows google? ### 1/5 — Predators *2026-07-20, version 5.193.890* This app is brimming with child predators that roleplay disgusting acts. The dev owners have been proven to he reading private chats but they do absolutely nothing about banning the bad individuals that make their community larger just like Amino. ### 1/5 — I am disappointed *2026-07-20, version 5.193.890* My account was disabled and I was doing nothing bad. All the staff member emailed me with was “Disabled due to violations” then I got another email saying “Violating our guidelines”. I don’t know what violations I’ve done. And I kept trying to get into contact with them to fix it but your staff members never respond to me. Only one email saying my account was disabled due to violations but I still don’t know what I’ve violated. And I’ve emailed and said I was sorry for whatever I’ve done wrong. I’ve been on the app for a year and never had any problems until now. And since I left, my friend said that KYODO is going downhill because of your staff is banning random good people and leaving the bad people who have bad intentions. My account was disabled Monday April 12, 2026. I’m one of the good people on the app and you’re letting your app run wild with the bad and evil people while banning the good and innocent people. And the app is dead and nobody wants to help me with my situation. I am chronically online and I have no friends but one person and she’s on KYODO. And I was wrongly banned. How do you expect to get people on your app if you ban them for no reason and won’t let them back on? Either shut down the app’s servers or let the good people back on and ban the bad people, not the other way around. And my friend says it’s barely active from how many people you ban for fun. Fix your app. I really want to come back but knowing my luck and all of you, you won’t let me back in because you guys prefer the bad people to run wild in the app ### 5/5 — Awesome (side note) *2026-07-09, version 5.193.890* I actually enjoy this app alot. It is only a suggestional thing, but this app should totally have availability to use on computer through using it's website so I am able to chat that way. 💔💔💔 But overall doing a great job. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-30, version 5.193.890* The longer I spent on the app, the more became apparent. Some things are hard to ignore once you start paying attention. It also seems like parts of the staff team are biased and there have been enough conversations and interactions to raise concerns about how staff from other communities and circles are spoken about which is negatively by the app team. The reporting system is another major issue. Users are constantly encouraged to report problems yet reports can seemingly sit for months while the team insists everything is reviewed. Yet repeat offenders continue using the platform without any noticeable action being taken making the reporting system feel pointless. Being a newer app doesn’t excuse poor moderation or inconsistent enforcement. The platform has potential, but it’s being held back by a team that appears more focused on selective enforcement than creating a fair environment. Until those issues are addressed, it’s difficult to recommend it. ### 5/5 — Больше русских! *2026-06-29, version 5.190.758* Буквально возвращение Amino. Нужно сделать популярным у русских. ### 5/5 — won’t let me make an account. *2026-06-19, version 5.190.758* hi! it keeps saying that you guys don’t trust gmail as a email domain? i used my gmail and typed it correctly, so i was a little confused. it seems like a great app though, i’d like some help. 🥹🤞🏽 ## Frequently asked questions about Kyodo ### What does Kyodo do?
