Comment on Mod changes and an intro
curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 1 week agoCompletely agree, especially on the hardware part. This is also why I mention self-regulation - and there was a recent post that demonstrated it - we are going to interact with posts that are related to self-hosting, and on ones that are questionable, people are going to question then up/downvote accordingly.
I don’t personally see a need for the rule at all.

As a mod myself on much smaller communities, that’s my view too. Even if there is something I personally dislike, it’s not my community, if it’s getting upvotes then obviously people are enjoying it. If I get reports I look into it, but it has to be a pretty blatent violation for me to step in. Why would I want to hurt engagement? There’s so few of us already here.

Precisely - and on the last point especially, it means that there needs to be some leeway. There aren’t so many active communities that you could say “obviously this is a question for the proxmox on tiny/mini/micro hardware support community!”, because something like that has 2 subscribers and no posts in a year.
Its not an approach that leads to community, IMO.
