Pinboard was nice and simple once, but nowadays doesn't seem to be maintained and is broken in many ways. I've been trying to export my archive backup for almost a year without success.

It feels more "complete" than "unmaintained" to me. It's pretty basic in what it does, but it does that well. I haven't noticed any bugs as such - what did you find that's actually broken?

I am a long-time user and archiving broke on my account at least half a year ago. Despite two support emails I did not get any replies. Feels quite "unmaintained" to me.

The tweet search function has been broken for a few years (yes I reported it).

I love Pinboard. Haven’t used browser bookmarks in years.

Wow! --three downvotes, just for recommending pinboard.
Tough crowd!

I didn’t downvote you, but I can understand people downvoting comments that are unsubstantive. It’s typically not accepted here to complain about being downvoted either. As per the guidelines, it makes for boring discussion and just adds noise.

It's most likely not because you recommend Pinboard, but because you added a non-substantial comment when a click on the "upvote" button would have been sufficient.

I did click on the upvote button. But, since no-one else, apart from the original commenter, can see how many upvotes his/her comment gets, how does that help back up someone's suggestion?I wouldn't normally post a simple "me too" or "+1" but, in this case, the original poster was asking for a recommendation. So I think, in these circumstances, it's justified [and less messy] to give a 'me too' to a suggestion you agree with, rather than [as many others have done] post a separate reply, recommending the same site.
>...it makes for boring discussion and just adds noise.
Yeah, we definitely don't want any noise here.Scrolls though dozens of repeat submissions of the same story every day, hundreds of submissions of tweets as news stories, endless spammy posts for 'keto gummies' and the regular moronic opinions of Evon-fucking-Latrail [whoever the fuck he is!]
