I can only speculate. Either you didn’t give them enough time, or you weren’t polite and they ignore you, or you didn’t message the one who dealt with you. Or the mods just aren’t nice or transparent to people. Idk. I can just say your removed post looked a bit low quality since it included no useful information to help you, and it was about networking issues, not selfhosting. Also this post is probably again in violation of rule 3. Since it’s not about selfhosting in general, but your issue with the mods.
Sure, I don’t really judge. Asking tech support questions is hard. You need to find the correct place. Volunteer some information, while you probably don’t even know which details are relevant… It’s rarely ill intent even if someone doesn’t get it exactly right. And your question seemed genuine to me. I’m not a mod here, though. I can’t really comment on if it’s been the right place or not. I’d say maybe find another community to ask support questions about networking. And if it’s just this one time, just attribute this as a mild overreaction by the mods. Oftentimes the lines are a bit blurry when making those kind of decisions. I still think you deserve an answer to your question, but yet again I don’t know the details…

Evidently lol
Usually, write them a direct message.
As I posted… I’ve tried that many times now :/

Well I certainly didn’t mean to be rude or low quality

Thanks for your kind thought out reply :)
We mutiny at dawn
Thanks for the chuckle
You could try your post on other selfhosting communities in the meantime like !selfhost@lemmy.ml or !selfhosting@slrpnk.net
Don’t suggest .ml communities to people.
Thanks! I had a different question and did ask it at ML. May I ask why the slrpnk one exists? It’s so small is it worth asking there?
