    Follow the link in the article to find out what really happened: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/comments/1lcqw4d/comment/my2iylo/

    I also posted this in another threads a few days ago:

    Nah, the OP of one reddit thread admitted he tried more than just his backups:

    • Dude is a prolific poster in Switch hacking communities and he used an account which he previously used with a hacked Switch 1

    • He admits trying the migswitch with the Switch 2 and it starting downloading something.

    • They got an online ban, so offline games and such still work.

    You can agree or disagree whether piracy should be legal or whether backup copies are permitted (depends on jurisdiction), but this dude obviously played with fire and got burnt.

    TL;DR: don’t be stupid and get banned for breaking ToS (whether you agree with it or not)

      Sadly (at the time of writing) you’re just getting downvoted, because Lemmy’s hateboner for Nintendo is more important than context

        Luckily at the moment they have a lot more upvotes than downvotes. Probably because they are providing information and aside from the “you are stupid for breaking (a likely-predictable) TOS and expecting nothing to happen” judgment, it’s pretty neutral on passing judgment on the bigger argument at hand: whether this policy should be here in the first place.

          If you see personal insults you should report the comment. Instances and communities have rules. Downvotes aren’t insults though

        Things you should never get caught liking on Lemmy:
        Nintendo
        Windows
        Auth-right, lib-right, or lib-left politics
        A can of beans
        Police
        Man vs bear hypothetical
        CalyxOS
        Etc.

          I know Lemmy’s objection to most of these and I honestly dislike them too (oh no, brainwashed drone alert! Honestly, I consider myself quite lucky I hit a group where I actually do match the hivemind instead of being different yet again. Except I think Lemmy has a much higher tolerance for political posts, and for personal insults towards people who don’t share the hivemind than I do, but hey, you’ll probably never hit 100% consensus with any big group), except: I wasn’t aware that Lemmy had something against a can of beans. Genuinely, could someone please explain? Is this a reference to something, or is it genuine dislike towards canned beans? What’s wrong with canned beans?

            It’s a reference to this post. A lot of people found it funny but a lot of lemmings also thought it was insulting and spam

        They didn’t even get downvoted, but you decided to get angry about this imaginary scenario just in case. What’s wrong with you?

          I was sitting at like, -2 when they made that comment so not imaginary. Please try to give the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions

            Oh no 😱

            It’s funny that in lemmy vs reddit threads people always bring up that there is no karma farming, but then you see this nonsense.

              Stop moving the goalposts. Nobody cares about the votes themselves.

              This is about observing a fact and recounting it to someone who’s misinformed about the situation and even has the audicity to gaslight someone over it

        Yeah I was thinking the same, first few votes were down lol. Now you seem to catch the fire for pointing it out. Hope you care as much about votes as I do (which is not at all)
