You should read the trash guide.

Like mastondon.world admin said, you can always block the threads.net at user level.

The instance itself will wait and see.

We won’t pre-emptively defederate from Threads. Users can themselves decide to block threads. (If we were to defederate, users can’t anymore decide to un-block themselves.)

We will keep a close eye on all developments with Threads joining the Fediverse, and when we see trouble, we might reconsider this statement.

Edit: mastodon.world not mastodon.social

I didn't use any API account (opensubtutle was still free and open to public).

1. most of the time I got a hit (subliminal supports many sites with API access)
2. If missed, I check the file with mediainfo and check fps.
3. If there is release info and fps, I manually downloaded by searching with FPS.
4. If fps is correct and timing is out I use subler to correct the time after manually syncing time with VLC or MPV

These days, *arr setup (according to trash guide) and Plex pass automatically get me the subtitles.

Which UI you are using? Web or app?

I use voyager app and it has a feature "copy text". When used, the title and body are selectable.

I used to use subliminal command line to download subtitles.

subscene is the website I used to find (no api) if subliminal failed.

Not an advice.

I once in a situation like yours. I liked both of my colleagues, one complained about the other. Long story short they got married (and still happily married). Lesson learnt, don't pay much attention to the complaints.

Migrated from deluge, rTorrent, uTorrent and transmission to qBitorrent.

Deluge has problem when you have many torrents seeding or downloading.

rTorrent setup is not very easy.

uTorrent and Transmission are not recommended for not following the etiquette and bundling other software AFAIR.

The culprit is AdGuardDNS settings.

I visited the sites on the desktop with NextDNS all are fine.
