I would never use it, for reason that it is centralized server and I
do not know who are those people, why they do it, probably for money
and not to help people to control their computing, they compute for
people. But I would never use it primarily for reason that I cannot
know what are they doing with my data. It is unthinkable.

After looking into Emacs package for floobits, I can see it is made by
company Floobits, and it uses Python, like Emacs Lisp cannot connect
to their API, I don't believe.

Commands like M-x floobits-share-dir-private <RET> DIR <RET> are
supposed to to go over their server?! Ah no.

crdt.el from Qiantan is empowering users, they need no floobits
servers and whatever insecurities involved with it.
