If you look at the email screenshot it’s from sdf.org. They’re pretty awesome and I’m guessing it’s just some sort of oversight. OP should just send them an email and I’m sure they’d resolve it.

Yes, you’re in the wrong section. You are looking at dedicated servers, and they are talking about VPS’. You can find them at https://www.hetzner.com/cloud, /u/Mallias was speaking about the CPX31 (under “Shared vCPU (x86)”)

Not exactly. The always free tier just cuts you off if you try to go over your limits. It won’t let you allocate stuff that it doesn’t allow. I don’t really understand how they can offer so much for free, but my consensus has mostly been “It’s arm, and they probably spy a bit”. Which some people are alright with, some people aren’t. You can technically strip the OCI Agent from your VPS if you care about that second bit.

I honestly think most people would go back just out of habit. Even if they don’t go back, once things calm down. I’d absolutely love people to move to fedi, but I just don’t think it’s gonna happen.

Just if you wanted more than one. Just like u/kadu said about email. It’s like if you had your email on Google, Yahoo, and Hotmail. I know a lot of people have an alt on platforms like Discord too.
