If you're happy to pay whatever it costs to host then there's no other disadvantage to this.
The only thing I can think of is if you somehow end up at odds with an admin of a big instance and they defederate your instance. Or perhaps in the future major instances decide to only federate with instances of a certain size, for some as of now unpredictable reason
Works fine until the brigading starts
Robust and simple, looks good to me.
My request is that for as long as you can, don't fall for the trap of the argument that these guidelines are biased or involve arbitrary calls. Everyone who is here has come here in good faith and already understands the need for holistic moderation.
The longer you can outright ban dicks after maybe one warning, the better the place will be.
Thanks for taking on the job of running this place
Just finished doing nearly everything in TotK, have been playing FF16 lately and am halfway through the NG+ on hard mode.
Going on holiday for a month but when I get back I'll finish that, then finish the game I'm making, and then get balls deep into Baldurs Gate 3 with a friend.
That's because standards changed
I think im getting older than normal lately.
Just donate if you want to support your server.
Awards are special actions reserved for people who pay, that don't improve the platform anyway. It's enshittification.
Complain about things.
Unless it's something you can keep lighthearted, and maybe make a point with in a funny way. But just bitterly bitching about something in your life is probably the worst (normal) thing you can do. That or treat service staff badly.
Having been on the receiving end of it from two people professionally, wracking my brains over what their problem was, until I learned how they were actually meaning it:
The trailing ellipses feels like it's 'politely' avoiding saying the "obvious" conclusion out loud. And if someones avoiding saying it, it's probably negative. That's why it's seen as passive-aggressive.
To my generation it sounds like, I dunno, saying "Where there's smoke...".
BoP standing by
He's a great developer and a shitty producer. When he's in charge of his own projects there's nobody holding him accountable and it just spirals into madness and then halfway through when all the hard and fun work of really designing the game is complete, and all that's left is the boring business of production and finishing the damn thing, he just ADHDs off into the distance chasing the next cool idea/design challenge
Somehow he's able to keep funding that arrangement, so it hasn't changed.
Ah, right on.
Agreed on the value of the specificity, just in my experience you need to be ready to hold firm against bad-faith actors who try to rules-lawyer you.
