Dafuck? Removed for rule 3? [email protected] 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.

    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.
