Reviews are grouped one storefront at a time, so each storefront words its complaints separately. Two are added together here when they carry the same name, or when their wordings share half their meaningful words — one fixed rule, applied the same way to every app, and the reviews under each complaint are there to check it against. Where it is close but not certain the two stay apart, so this under-joins rather than over-joins.

“Review — No I don't like it at all. I don't understand how it works which is very complicated. I love Instagram which is the most straightforward social network, well made, messages are easy to send and receive. The network is fun with beautiful posts. I like Facebook less. I don't use THREADS” — ★☆☆☆☆ · French“Zero — You can't understand how you're supposed to send personal messages...” — ★☆☆☆☆ · French“No ergonomics — Useless” — ★☆☆☆☆ · French

“Dross — Twitter clone with zero moderation, if you’re into insane racist opinions, propaganda, or having products crammed down your throat, go wild. Awful platform full of awful people as far as I can tell” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“AI everywhere /angry comments/racism — I am mostly on YouTube. I’ve seen HORRIBLE, racist comments, misogyny and so much messing with videos or making them fully with AI. Just do not like it” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“En Europa — What’s the point of restricting or silencing someone if they still can write comments in my feed, It feel I am restricting myself. Reporting someone for harassments or bullying is useless, no body do anything about it. Can we please have European supervises in Spain with understanding of our culture and customs?” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English
