  • The gotcha for this is that you have to actually use the resources on your free instance or they will reclaim it. I use my instance as a Minecraft server so it utilizes about half of the 24GB RAM you get. For a very light compute task like a chat bot, it might be difficult to keep the instance from being reclaimed.

    From this page:

    Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:

    CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)

    I think it’s OK for them to try and sell extras, but I do agree that it shouldn’t be the first thing on the downloads page. At least put the paid and free options side by side, then have the lite version down below that.

    It’s not that Lemmy or Kbin are bad alternatives (I think they’re pretty good tbh), but I would really like to stay on Reddit because that’s where the content is. That’s where the vast majority of people are going to stay and so that’s where the interesting posts will stay.

    Me continuing to use Reddit is entirely contingent upon Reddit Inc. making mobile apps usable again, either by lowering API costs so 3rd party apps can continue to exist, or improving the official app by a LARGE margin to bring it in line with the apps they’re killing. If they don’t do that, I’m more than happy to stay on Lemmy.
