They've 'caught on fire' many times, such as the time login/2fa broke, or the weeks/months where you were rate-limited to only a few hundred interactions per day.

Judging by how unreliable it has been ever since, there's likely constant firefighting going on.
Can't confirm. It works for me just as well as it did in 2022.
Not my experience at all. It is faster and has slightly more feature since.
It really doesn’t work well. But it has the advantage in that, if some messages just don’t appear… well, you don’t really notice.
