Honestly made me avoid this community.
Why does this start with Meta? What does Meta have to do with it?
Meta is a word that has meaning.
Right, OK, it’s not very common so I wasnt sure its context
It’s pretty common line, I’d say much less so IRL, we all got to learn it somewhere :) Yes, I did not mean the evil corpo
Not very common…? It’s fine to learn a new word, but don’t go pretending that’s the word’s fault.
Why did they make you avoid a community? You shouldn’t feel bad about blocking people you find problematic.
They were the moderator of this community, so that wouldn’t really help.
How can you be toxic without communication? What happened?
From what I read on their profile, they were complaining about posts being deleted by users while also deleting a lot of posts themselves.
Constantly removing posts with zero communication on why
Same thought!
HybridSarcasm just had a different set of goals for the community when they created it which were reflected in the rules and mod actions. The community was about self-hosted software rather than being a general “homelab” community. Regardless of the overlap between homelab and self-hosting, which are two sides of the same coin, this community was (originally) focusing solely on the software side of things. All of their mod actions reflect that.
Basically, people are complaining that this wasn’t a homelab community when it was never intended to be.
Meh, I disagree. I had many posts removed about running vpns on my servers for external access or similar topics that isn’t a “selfhosted” softwared but runs on the damn server.
While I’m glad this community is more welcoming now, we should avoid threads targeting individuals and focus on the positives going forward.
So I’d appreciate it if you deleted this thread, and if you instead wanted to post one about feeling more welcome now, that would be great!
Edit: and for the record, they weren’t removed. After criticism about the situation they made me a mod and left.
