Hey folks, is this a new interpretation of Rule 3 in /c/selfhosted? We’ve had a lot of threads about storage, pools, filesystems, hardware related to self-hosting over the years and they’ve been plenty useful for me. I’ve also helped people with such issues when I had the expertise.
Today I asked a question related to filesystem setup for a server and that post got removed citing Rule 3. I looked at the modlog and it appears a few other posts have been removed too. Is this right?
Torn about this one. The rules do explicitly say about selfhosting, the software specifically. So, yeah against the rules. However, I think that’s pretty pedantic when we’re talking about an average of 6 posts a day, quite a ways from spam. Storage is a natural issue when it comes to selfhosting, choosing which storage can have large ramifications on how your services run above.
It’d be nice if they at least removed it with a suggestion, like where to post it instead.
