The protocol and software don't. It's open source and anyone can use it.

Instance admins can block servers that allow anything that's illegal (or they otherwise believe is inappropriate) .

I'm assuming this one is because he's just going to tell them to fuck off.

There's no legal basis to take it down.

It's not intended as a drop in replacement.

Backwards compatibility forever sounds great, but the technical debt eventually becomes a giant fucking limitation on improvement. They chose not to stay backwards compatible for a reason.

Being grandfathered in actually would last forever.

The origin is, during racist bullshit, that one of the ways they "equally" opened extremely restrictive signups to vote was that, if your grandfather could vote, you could vote without dealing with the process designed to make it impossible to actually register. Being grandfathered in would pass to subsequent generations just as easily.

Returning to the example of West Virginia Route 891: An easy way to support the statement that this highway runs east–west is to reference a map that shows it going that direction; however, citing such a map is considered “original research” by some of Wikipedia’s most hardcore policy enforcers.

Every single person undoing an edit on these grounds should be banned from even visiting Wikipedia ever again. Jesus Christ.

This is absurdly stupid to panic about, and the police "warning" people about it should be embarrassed.

Name Drop is no different than a user taking 10 seconds to manually type a number.

Then pay someone to do the work.

Supporting obscure trash isn't worth development time.

I have no issue with battle royales.

I have a huge issue with literally all microtransactions in every context. Cosmetics are not a justification. The only valid way to unlock cosmetics is to earn them with gameplay.

If you have microtransactions in any format in your game, you are a bad human being. There is no scenario where it is forgivable. If you have lootboxes, you should go to prison for the blatant unregulated gambling operation you are running.

Realistically it's entirely possible it took more platform specific work to make the switch version viable than anything else.

It's not their fault it's lesser hardware.

They're "boring" because they're at their limit. The form factor can do what it can do.

Foldables will eventually enhance the experience, but the materials that are available don't do the job. Until then there's only iteration.

This is a great sales pitch to hook me deeper into adding it to my wishlist lol.

It depends.

You can basically always use the crappy ones made for general touchscreens to replicate your finger. You can't use a real one with features like Apple Pencil/surface pen/wacom without an extra layer built into the screen to recognize them.
