@[email protected] has not replied to me (or anyone according to his profile) after that last bit about making me and @[email protected] mods, so I’m going to go ahead and work on holding down the fort. Its a bit of a hectic weekend for me with activities for my kids, so you may see some post activity being restored or other such things in no particular order.
So who am I?
Well, I’m a specialist consultant by day, and an avid self-hoster. Off the top of my head, I host:
- Jellyfin
- An over-complicated *arr stack to suit my particular tastes of media management
- Prometheus+Loki+Grafana for my monitoring stack
- Home Assistant
- Personal website
- Immich
- MagicMirror
- ROMM for that fun emulation on the go
- Kavita (mostly because I keep forgetting to change the url on my wife’s phone for the other OPDS server) & Calibre (the other OPDS)
- Local AI models for testing purposes mostly
- Endurain for my post-Strava life
- Various stuff for utility for SSO, LDAP, databases, MQTT, so on and so forth
Predominantly running on Proxmox as LXCs, with some docker here and there. So pretty much the same as a lot of you, just another *selfhoster (edit: WHOOPS! I a whole word there, now fixed)
Moderation Style
Lets call it “light touch”. I’m pretty sure everyone here is more than capable of handling most things with the appropriate votes - we’ve seen this with the recent thread that resulted in this moderation change. In case you couldn’t also guess from my home instance, I’m a firm believer in people being able to regulate themselves, so as far as I’m concerned that means the rules themselves can be up for discussion as well. As this community is on lemmy.world, of course that means the TOS here must be respected.
There are people on both sides of the keyboards, so please be respectful of others.
The one thing that I just do not tolerate is bigotry.
And finally, feel free to send me a message to address any issues! So lets have some fun with self-hosting.
Edit: Added a direct link to the Lemmy.world TOS for clarity. This community is on Lemmy.world and subject to its terms, as managed by the admin team.
What’d I miss?

I’m just gonna link this post.
If I had to paraphrase what happened, there was some (IMO polite) disagreement over the stringency of enforcing rule 3 and whether it was negatively impacting the community by removing posts that people worked hard to answer due to being more of a hardware-related topic, and then the previous mod abruptly made the people who offered the criticism moderators without any discussion on the matter with them first and then hasn’t been seen on Lemmy since.
I stopped posting and commenting on this community because things kept getting deleted even though it was all very clearly about self-hosting. It was very disappointing because I spent a lot of time on my contributions. One post I made a while ago was about self-hosting security and had tons of activity only for all that information to be removed over rule 3. Very confusing and disappointing.
I’m interested in seeing how the vibe around here changes going forward. Maybe I’ll be less cautious about participating.
I hope you do!
That actually sounds like it was a fantastic post, and I don’t remember even seeing it which is really disappointing. I’m still making my way through the log, and some posts seem to be completely gone as well so I won’t be able to restore them, which really sucks.
One thing I really don’t like is that it made people cautious to contribute, I’m really hopeful that will change.
Please do!
One of our new mods was banned from this community for telling someone “kys” 🤥
Certainly not me - thats an instance rule over at the FAF, and not something I’d want to see in the first place.
That said I also accept that people have off days sometimes, and a conversation that gets to that point probably wasn’t handled well either to get to that point of escalation.
I would not expect to see that again in comments without a mod action on it, fwiw.
Ah, thanks. Saw it when it came in and even replied.
I remember thinking “there are a ton of people here making assumptions and assuming the worst about people, based on no evidence”… Other people were saying maybe it was mods.
Sadly a bunch of those people will move forward thinking a ton of users were just being assholes and not what actually happened.
