Sounds like this is a change for the better, eh. 😮💨
Comment on Mod changes and an intro
confusedpuppy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoI 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.

This was a number of months ago so I doubt it would be remembered anywhere at this point. After that, a number of posts I commented in were also removed as well. It was very confusing because everything seemed appropriate for the community. I do look forward to seeing how this community grows/changes now.
I’ve taken a very minimalist approach to self-hosting but I’ve given extra attention towards security. I feel like security doesn’t get talked about as much as it could be. It’s especially important these days with bots roaming around everywhere.
I also use some unconventional methods that I’d like to share (layering security with obscurity with a focus on security first). It’s not a one size fits all solution but I can stay private while exposing my server with minimal tools. It works for me though and my logs haven’t shown any outside activity besides my own.
