That’s kind of by far the most important class of problem though. I could complain about the complexity of its notifications system, or how all the ‘servers’ are represented with image icons and it sucks to navigate and find the one you’re thinking of if you add a lot of them, but it’s all small potatoes compared to being run by an enshittifying company complying (often in advance) with terrible laws and moving to use their accumulated leverage against their users. By developing a reliance on their service you put them in charge of you, but they cannot be trusted with that.

I don’t disagree there! That’s why I was specific in referring only to their software quality.
It was, but I made it explicitly clear that I was referring to software quality only. They’re free to clarify if they actually mean the company instead of the software.

That’s your own addition though, it isn’t entirely clear that the person you questioned was talking about issues separate from its power structure.
