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:

  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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

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.

Who is downvoting a post based on what's not in the post title or body? Besides, there are far more downvotes now than when I made my original comment, so it's clearly not people being fooled by previous, now removed comments.

Also, I said or. It's Either they're against a community of answering questions openly, or have the reading comprehension of a potato...

Whats in the post title is blaming users. Its incorrect.

I'd recommend you reconsider who needs to work on their reading comprehension, as well as the attitude coming in here. This is a community, and one where we don't need to come in and attack/name call, especially when you've fundamentally misunderstood the issue.

lol I've understood the issue. The original post is not exactly nuanced. I'm sorry you feel so offended by my opinion that people who do not understand what a community of questions and answers should look like should not be welcome to people who understand what publicly answered questions should look like, but you do you.

Its also entirely wrong, as I've noted to you now many times.

I'm also letting you know politely that coming in with an attitude like that will not be accepted here.

I replied to you because your comment was reported for rule #1. Just because the last mod was lax with managing comments and overzealous with their interpretation of rule #3 doesn't mean I will be.

To put it bluntly - be civil or don't be here.
