There are free tiers for some cloud providers, like Oracle (though personally I recommend against using anything Oracle ever).

I think that would just be a different instance.

Yes, there’s always time to learn, and code contributions are by far the most valuable!

It’s open source. Feel free to contribute.

Nintendo is the Apple of video games. They don’t want people to repair it, either send it back for a depot repair or buy a new one. They want you to treat it as a sealed product.

Well it’s a Nintendo console, so that’s right about where it’s expected to be.

Does Lemmy let you retroactively deny applications?

Nobody is remotely at risk of losing life or limb because slrpnk is down for a little while.

I think “permanently deleted” is when a mod or admin deletes their content administratively.

Hard to say just from what’s in the modlog. Maybe they’re editing a post instead of deleting it?

Can you link some examples?

If you want a professionally managed instance, you are welcome to pay for a hosted one.

They don’t need to shut down for that.

Found the guy who’s never moderated a large community. It’s not discussions with opposing viewpoints, it’s ad spam, harassment, CSAM, gore, literal neo-nazis, and once in a while someone spamming racial slurs.

Does your local instance know about that community? By pasting the whole URL into the search field, then subscribing to it? If nothing has been federated yet, the instance won’t show it because it doesn’t know about it.

There are site with tools to view federation status, but I don’t know any off the top of my head.

No, that doesn’t make sense. I’ve never heard of another console needing a day-one update to be usable.

It’s not a bad way to create a barrier to griefers. Nintendo’s market is mainly children, and they don’t want random assholes creating accounts to troll kids.

Thank you. Trite comments like those definitely fall on the wrong end of the signal vs. noise spectrum.

They’ll probably add more later, but they’ll still almost entirely not be major games.

Then I will download it from other sources and continue playing it.

I won’t say “pirate it” because I still own it.
