Selfhosted

40971 readers

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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

My post on hosting Tailscale got removed for rule three though it is directly related to selfhosting. I’ve messaged three mods more than once. This is sort of a let down for one of the biggest communities here to be like this… :/

Usually, write them a direct message.

As I posted.. I’ve tried that many times now :/

I can only speculate. Either you didn't give them enough time, or you weren't polite and they ignore you, or you didn't message the one who dealt with you. Or the mods just aren't nice or transparent to people. Idk. I can just say your removed post looked a bit low quality since it included no useful information to help you, and it was about networking issues, not selfhosting. Also this post is probably again in violation of rule 3. Since it's not about selfhosting in general, but your issue with the mods.

Well I certainly didn’t mean to be rude or low quality

Sure, I don't really judge. Asking tech support questions is hard. You need to find the correct place. Volunteer some information, while you probably don't even know which details are relevant... It's rarely ill intent even if someone doesn't get it exactly right. And your question seemed genuine to me. I'm not a mod here, though. I can't really comment on if it's been the right place or not. I'd say maybe find another community to ask support questions about networking. And if it's just this one time, just attribute this as a mild overreaction by the mods. Oftentimes the lines are a bit blurry when making those kind of decisions. I still think you deserve an answer to your question, but yet again I don't know the details...
