They're probably downvoting because your question shows such a vast lack of knowledge that any attempt at a serious answer would exceed the time anyone would be willing to invest.
I think the lack of contextual information in the question itself is evidence of beginner and hobbyist categorization, though? After all, it would be silly to ask things we already know about. I tried searching for database recommended on all the instances and didn't see any other posts about it, but I value Lemmy user's opinion on this subject very highly.
To make a bad car analogy, your question reads like this:
Please don't try to run a service that is accessible from the internet. It would probably be taken over by hackers very quickly and be used to distribute spam or worse.
Okay but TBF if a person were going to use some motorbikes and a Formula 1 car in the near future then they would certainly benefit from knowing the different fuel types as well as general maintenance/operation. Complexity of topic is no excuse to shun questioning.
You may have missed the point of the example. It asks about steering wheels, and immediately transitions to vehicles that don't have steering wheels.
Are you implying that databases don't exist for private email and hosting a matrix channel? Because if so then you're just blatantly wrong.
What do you even think a database is?
