Due to the recent ban on pinging services, discord bots on glitch no longer work, and many other different projects that require to stay on. HOWEVER, in the glimmer article that glitch made it is said: “Not all of these services are as reliable as we’d like, and sometimes when there are problems they can cause as much load on our systems as a malicious attack would.”.
This quote got me thinking if glitch instead offered free “always on” projects (“Always on projects” could be earned by getting enough thanks, or something else earn-able), it would bring back the great freelancer Glitch-DiscordBot community. It would also not make the hassle of unreliable pinging services.
Boosting would still offer “Always on” but for more than 1 project. This compromise would only benefit glitch, and glitch users. It wouldn’t be unreliable as pinging services, and boosting is not greatly disbenefited.
Is this compromise possible? or am I missing a key part in why this would disbenefit glitch/glitch users.
Please add your thoughts to this.
