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

Well OP. Looks like your post resulted in a moderator resigning and the appointment of two new moderators in this community. As I've said previously, it was a moderator removing posts for a very far stretch interpretation of Rule 3, and not users deleting them after getting the answer.

Let's hope this results in a better community for the selfhosters here.

    Oh my GOD that's probably what happened to mine! I was discussing something on my last post and then suddenly the mod removed it because of "Rule 3". Because we were talking about selfhosting. Which, all selfhosting is on our own hardware..., but I think my post leaned more hardware than the mod liked. Super annoying when you're having a valid conversation, people are chiming in and helping, and then suddenly Removed: Arbitrary rule violation.

    And I'll use your comment as my post here for a local mod appointment of my lw account!

    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.)
