Are you sure this is merely mildly infuriating?

tchncs.de runs their own lemmy server along with many other services, at least they seem serious.

BO2 released in 2012, and now we're here. If it's not particularly hard for you to predict the future, what will be the major military and geopolitical trends of the next 13 years Nostrachadmus?

There are many different matrix IM clients, both for desktop and mobile. I'm guessing you're thinking of Element, the defacto standard client from the makers of the matrix platform? Some of them are more tailored to the "average user", like FluffyChat and SchchzshchildyChat (???)

IMO the variety of clients only make it more confusing for people unfamiliar with the ecosystem.

On top of that there's different instances. It's about as messy as the ActivityPub-based fediverse.

On my way to sue you for daring to type out the trademark "Nintendo" without proper authorization.

They're waiting until enough work is put in to actually upset people, just as a warning to other potential criminals thinking of doing anything similar.

Sure, that's why I self-host or use trusted services from people I actually know for EVERYTHING I can, not just the stuff that's too awful to accept. I can't be bothered with being disappointed and jump ships yet again.

I don't care if the big corpos set up obvious data privacy traps that sucks the data right out of people's pockets any more than I'm upset about a venomous snake on the side of the road. I'm more upset with the people who blindly walk into them despite clear warnings from more knowledgeable people, and in the process gives up OTHER people's data as well.

I don't want Facebook to have my phone number associated with my name, yet I'm sure countless people over the years have given it to them by uncritically accepting the app's terms and pressed the "Sure, go ahead and have full access to my phone's contact list" button.
