If you visit https://bmas.mng.nintendo.net (something called a "Ban MAnagement System"), you'll find a notice that BMAS has been discontinued and to use a new, upgraded version instead.
Of course, I do not have the account required to log in to those panels so I can't say what changed (except...
I just hope that it'll be a lot less bland than what we have now. The 3DS had a lot more personality, despite being inferior in hardware.
Nowadays, the only console with any kind of personality is the Playdate... and not even 80k units of that have sold.
Superbans did exist before, if you connected to the services while hacked you got banned, it only got elevated to a superban (or CDN ban) if you attempted to do something nefarious using Nintendo's CDN.
Previously, console bans have been split into normal bans and superbans.
People with normal bans could still use Nintendo's CDN, just not use the network services.
People with superbans could not use the CDN at all.
You had to do some fuckery with the CDN to get superbanned back in the time...

Nintendo's console banning works in waves. When you connect to a Nintendo service, it sends telemetry data to Nintendo which is quite detailed. If something unusual, like an illegitimate NSP being installed, is detected, it sets a flag server-side.
That flag then turns into a console ban during...

The only case I recall when multiple different homebrew is used is Boot9strap vs Fastboot3DS, as Boot9strap is minimal while FB3DS lets you configure various boot options.
I have a Mariko switch that I use for online play, that's why I'm not crying and yelling right now, but it does suck to lose the convenience of having online play and hacks both on one console.
sorry, beein trying to find this file that's been right in front of me for a month now, only to find broken links, and google to prove that it's completely worthless.
