Thanks for the answers, @schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de! Because I access the communities from lemmy.ml, I was not sure if it easily will work with other instaces if I just use the link and subscribe. And I thought there might be a feature - that I miss - which automatically integrates the old and new contents.

And yes, I have seen the "locked" label. Still you could subscribe and read the content. That's what's confusing me. - If I don't subscribe anymore, I will still find old topics by the search, right? So some question still remain, and it would be nice if people could answer what will happen to outdated communities/instances. - I guess they will stay online as long as their host servers are online? So in the future, we might have several communities with the same name, some "dead" some active?

After reading the article on gamerant.com, the many comments on here and looking at the petition, I really wonder if actually so many people are delusional and/or are just missing the core point here?! (Or it is just a small crowd with much noise?) IMHO, there are better places in the world to engage and petition for. (Local communities and regional politics, for example.) But if banning that little "funny" child incest game on Steam puts you up the tree, well, ...

Are you really that offended? And why, on point? How in the world can you defend publishing (and selling) games - mostly targeted at young folks - which are quite disturbing, derangend and morally wrong in the name of "freedom" or "independence"? And call that blatantly censorship, when there are instead public guidelines by Steam and their partners? Don´t you wish for (young) people to develop good values instead of becoming delusional with child pornography, incest, violence, gore and such? What are your values here?

Come to Europe one day! We have a selection of the finest vending machines in most gas stations toilets for - behold - not only condoms, but also tampons, little toys for her or him, etc. All for just a few bucks. And not sketchy at all.

Interesting feature, surely possible. I have seen that on "Threema". Of course, secured by two layers of passwords/-phrases and strict connection procedure.

Well, as for many topics, also "privacy" in detail seems to be very different to many people. Personally I like the "auto-expire" feature in every messager app. But I also know people, who get angry about deleted chats. Because they forgot, what's been said in the past or they want to look up stuff months ago, or ... I else don't know.

Hmm ... are you talking about the original Signal app or the Molly app? Because I don't really understand your news here.

For me, as far as I am aware, Signal has always been synchronising the chat history. The only condition being, that you have connected your device before in the past, which I think is a good privacy feature. (Although, I haven't checked, how far back it goes. Never needed that.) - You don't want any random new device read all our history, or do you?

My ELI5 answer: The periodic table is basically "finished", there are no new additions. Meaning, the structure is is set and almost all elments found, including some (theoretical) higher-number elements that still have to be securely "discovered". This final discovery nowadays happens only in specialised labs from time to time, because the higher-number elements are extremly unstable, only created artifically and existing for a few nanoseconds or femtoseconds. Some more details you can find on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinide

Additionally, some people discuss different models/structures for organising the elements in general. But that is a different topic.
