At present there's at least a species of ladybug that often has an odd number of chromosomes - some members of that species has a couple of chromosomes fused. This doesn't significantly impact fertility: if a ladybug only has one fused chromosome then during meiosis the unfused counterparts just line up end to end next to it.

The ancestors of humans also had a similar deal but afaik there are no modern humans with unfused chromosome 2.

IMO a lot of the problems with social media in one way or another stem from each platform being run for profit by a particular organisation. During that big Facebook outage I got into this p2p social network called Scuttlebutt and it has a completely different set of problems.
