Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Well OP. Looks like your post resulted in a moderator resigning and the appointment of two new moderators in this community. As I've said previously, it was a moderator removing posts for a very far stretch interpretation of Rule 3, and not users deleting them after getting the answer.
Let's hope this results in a better community for the selfhosters here.
And I'll use your comment as my post here for a local mod appointment of my lw account!
Thank you for the update!
Oh my GOD that's probably what happened to mine! I was discussing something on my last post and then suddenly the mod removed it because of "Rule 3". Because we were talking about selfhosting. Which, all selfhosting is on our own hardware..., but I think my post leaned more hardware than the mod liked. Super annoying when you're having a valid conversation, people are chiming in and helping, and then suddenly Removed: Arbitrary rule violation.
Wow! I just noticed that. Shit moves quickly on the tubes. Welcome our new overlords!
...stretch by which party? in the sense that the post not really about self-hosting (and OP tried to use rule 3 in a stretched interpretation), or that the post was about self-hosting but moderator applied it in unnecessarily strict way? The way you phrased it seems like the former, but then why would that result in moderator resigning?
(I'm not a native English speaker so sorry if it should have been clear.)
To give you some context, I initially made this comment on OP's post. Then I followed up with this comment after the resignation of a moderator on !selfhosted@lemmy.world.
I was referring to the former moderator's very bizarre interpretation of Rule 3. You'll see in the modlogs that many posts that were clearly about selfhosting getting removed under Rule 3.
