Please don't expect the community to give you answers to your questions which you then delete right afterwards. Those of us who put time into answering your questions are not doing so just to serve your personal needs, we are here to help build a community knowledge base that others can search and reference.

This has become a chronic issue with Lemmy and its starting to feel like it's a waste of time to answer questions.

a moderator removing posts for a very far stretch interpretation of Rule 3

...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.
