    What’s the point of this game, beyond letting them harvest user data to sell to data brokers? It doesn’t seem like this really integrates with Pokemon Go or the Switch games as far as syncing Pokemons between them, and anyone that actually cares about sleep tracking would be using their phone’s built-in health app or they’d have some top-rated sleep tracker from the app stores.

    If it let you move Switch Pokemon over to be a day-care type thing while you sleep I could kinda see it having some use, but otherwise this just seems like shovelware with a Pokemon theme.








  • From what I’ve seen and read, server to server traffic is less taxing on instances than client to server. So even if your instance is JUST you, it would be your instance talking to everything else so it would have some net benefit on the federation. But it would take a lot of users self-hosting solo instances for this to help in any noticeable way, I’d think.

    There is certainly no downside to running a solo instance, if you’re even slightly interested I would say go for it!
