We agree. It's time for all p2p traders to move to non-custodial exchanges, such as HodlHodl, unless they are the property of "The Land of the Free". (Last I checked, HH still doesn't want Americans for p2p trading.)
For Americans, Bisq works, except for the impatient and smartphone-bound.

LocalBitcoins has become just another custodial bank exchange. Once you deposit your btc there, within 3 confs they move it to their wallets, and all you have is an IOU in their database. Any still using it, prove this to yourselves in any BTC blockchain explorer.
Shame on LBC for becoming what they have become, relative to the way they started.

Avoid LocalBitcoins, if you are a mentally competent adult and believe that your p2p trading is your business only.
