Dafuck? Removed for rule 3? !selfhosted@lemmy.world what the?
As far as I’m aware running and getting DNS to work on a home network is precisely everything to do with self-hosting.
I get that I’m being a bit of an opinionated asshole, and maybe my post is not overly constructive, but shit, a good rant to start a discussion should not be a reason for removal, least of all for a rule that has blatantly not been violated and that’s the only actual reason I can think of why I’d been banned.
A good rant is literally the most worthwhile content imho, a good hearty debate invites viewpoints and opinions, even if the OP is unpopular. I hate the sterile, overly polite, overly PC tone enforced on some Lemmy communities.
As long as no one is literally insulting other users or spreading misinformation or being discriminatory/xenophobic based on characteristics. I wasn’t even swearing. I’m so done, I’m blocking all of lemmy.world until they get their shit together.
I’m not a moderator of selfhosted. But, I do have access to your post.
Your post was low quality and uninformed and didn’t provide anything helpful. It was snarky and whiny. It was meant to complain, not help. It was, frankly, just noise. The moderator was just cleaning up the community for everyone’s comfort.
As a community member, I would be happy to not have to have read your comment. This is why, I believe, your comment got chucked. The moderator was doing their job.
Here’s an excerpt that shows the message’s tone and quality:
“That RFC only suggests that some people MAY implement it as such, which yeah, sucks, because the RFC if it did it’s job right should forbid it altogether and lobby the government to shoot anyone who utters anything that suggests such delirium on sight, along with the rest of avahi/bonjour and other garbage ideas like IPv6 or not being behind NAT as well.”
Thanks for doing the work, that is garbage
It reads like someone was larping as an influencer
And not in a metaphorical sense. Like, someone is at a LARP and their character is an influencer trying to break into tech. Meanwhile, the theme is Arthurian medieval, and this douche is arguing with the blacksmith about using the forge to blow glass for silicon chips.
Ur garbage :)))

You are wrong because Rule 3 has been used as the mod’s reason for the removal.
If it were because of flaming or trolling, there are Rules 1 and 6 accordingly, but they have not been used here.
The complaint is justified about the mod using the Rule 3 wrong. Very obviously wrong. Anybody who knows a little bit about selfhosting knows that DNS is exactly on topic.
In addition, your attitude regarding “cleaning up” is questionable, too. People who are unable to write very fine tuned texts should not be allowed to post? Do we really need to “clean them up”?
That’s just a technicality. I don’t know the rule numbers. Whether it’s 1 or 2, the comment deserved flushing.
That’s a gross mall cop PoV and I hope it also gets flushed. Rules are imperfect but shitting on someone’s post because you didn’t like it even though it broke no rules is absolutely awful. If the post were allowed to live and did trigger flame wars somehow, sure. But more likely it would just die on the vine. You’re depriving OP the opportunity to learn, you’re depriving an internet know it all the chance to correct.
I hope you aren’t a mod of anything I care about.

Not at all!
Mods should be very interested in making their work transparent and understandable.
So many of them do not understand that, or do not like it, and this is a huge problem, a huge vulnerability of the lemmy system as a whole.
I guess we’ll need to wait for a mod of that community to show up instead of beating up the guy who dropped into this meta discussion to try to help out.
