For some reason, I'm doubtful.
The "never obsolete" refers to a subscription service, where they would periodically send you updates somehow. LGR has a good video on this.

Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net.
Aside from the "moral" argument, can someone ELI5 what harm can a federated threads.net do on other users (like me) and/or instances?

I can understand. After the initial excitement, the content is lacuster and scarse compared to reddit (due to lack of large userbase)

I came here to say exactly this. IG and all the others are private companies, with their own terms and conditions one agrees on, and also agrees those terms can be changed by them at any time. Moderation of content is part of it. Deal with it, or don't use them at all.

Banks in Hong Kong can print their own money. There are 8 different designs in circulation.
So can banks in the UK. There is one design for England, but a few for Scotland, for example.

What are your favorite split-screen co-op PC games?
We just played It Takes Two. Great variety of gameplay and level styles. Always something to learn, always something new happening, very different environments. Also, good story for husband and wife coop. Great game, I can recommend!
