What is Izzydroid and why is it considered bad?
IzzyOnDroid gets their packages by searching for Apks on github in a semi-automated manner and does basically no filtering on its own, so there may be low quality or malicious apps on there.
IzzyOnDroid infopage
IzzyOnDroid is a popular F-Droid repository. It is not bad at all, but if you don't realize that it gets enabled by default in Droidify you will have a lot more "duplicate" apps to choose from to install, and some people like myself prefer to only use apps from the main F-Droid repo when they can.
