Wasabi mixes hundreds/thousands of bitcoins daily what means the hate is not real.

One reason is because they've chosen to implement blacklists in the coordinator to avoid sanctioned addresses. Personally, I think that's kinda cowardly... But it's ok to be a bit cowardly when you're already taking risks by implementing coinjoin to begin with. What they're doing is really valuable for Bitcoin. That they choose to limit their legal risk is unfortunate. But it doesn't outweigh the rest of Wasabi, and people who are willing to take more risks as they are are more than welcome to run their own coordinators.

Because they started collecting IPs or something like that. I can’t remember.

Wasabi can't collect user IP addresses, they don't know them, all communication happens through Tor.

What was it they put out in that statement that everyone was upset about a few weeks ago? I can't remember what it was about.

Can ban specific UTXOs from participating in coinjoins with default coordinator. But that was months ago.
