The admins were using the legal staus of shrooms in other countries (besides their own) as a justification for removing the community. Ok, cool. Now apply that reasoning fairly across other communities.

Clarifying a point is not hard and they do get very specific with other rules as well, if you haven’t read them. They could easily say that drug trade on lemmy.world is forbidden. Easy.

Also, chill with the ad hominem arguments. Trying to use insults to prove yourself correct just makes you look like the jackass.

Again, I don’t think you understand the full scope of the points I am making. I understand your points, but they are just bad ones.

Your input is fascinating, but misplaced.

The purpose of this thread was for the admins to clarify what actually is illegal. Allowing a marijuana community has the same risks for an admin as pictures of other things like shrooms in other communities.

I personally would like to know where it is illegal to post and talk about any drug, honestly. Especially so if the drugs we are talking about are widely decriminalized.

Growing, selling or trading drugs online is generally illegal. I understand why those kinds of posts should be removed.

Lemmy Connect is quite good for Android.

One would think he would eventually cancel himself.

I think big brother is on to you, bot. Your links haven’t been working lately. It could be a “me” problem, since I am trying to view the video through a Lemmy client that doesn’t quite play well with ad blocking proxies.

Sorry. My inner Rick and Morty was leaking.

We need to assign a good name for this global system of interconnected networks. I admit, I am baffled as to what a good name should be.

false equivalence

Do you even know what that means? I am writing off this conversation as pointless.

accountability

Your point of reference is flipped. I don’t need to take accountability for something that the admins are doing.

optics

Banning one community for being “illegal” while not banning another gives some fairly spectacular visuals.

You are totally missing the point, just like you missed the point in your last deleted post.

I think we all want to see most instances and communities thrive. With this being the most “mainstream” instance, it gives many users their first glimpse into Lemmy and the rest of the federation. If the first thing people see is the same shitty admin actions that Reddit was known for, they puts a huge damper on adaptation.

If the first few days are spent looking for an instance where their communities and comments won’t get banned, it just makes for a shitty experience.

I am assuming the US, based on their recent requests for a sysop in US timezones but I am not sure about which one exactly.

That is why I am asking for clarification around rule 1. I am sure many people would be glad to comply and start communities on other instances because of local laws and such.

It’s an extremely vague rule, is what my point is.

I am all for Admin prerogative and yes, I am joined to other instances and other communities on those instances.

Honestly, this is probably the last time I am going to bitch about this action. However, with lemmy.world being one of the main hubs for lemmy right now, clearer rules should be defined. This admin action was just distasteful and will absolutely not make this instance appealing.

Already on that instance and there is a post by me where I am converting the UB Tek instructions from Reddit. ;)

The main concern is the odd way that Rule 1 is being applied, s’all.

Shrooms are becoming decriminalized and even legalized across the US now. It’s a shame that the admins banned the community at all on lemmy.world. By their logic, they should also ban marijuana related communities. ItS sTiLl iLleGal!!!

Psilocybin is a very interesting and useful chemical and it is just stupid for it to be censored. What do those admins wish to accomplish? Shhhhhhh! Don’t talk about something that may help with mental disorders or even PTSD. Mushroom bad!

Of all the good things that lemmy.world admins do, this is ranks as one of the dumbest and short sighted.

I will probably start COShroomGrowers. It’s not illegal here and their argument becomes moot.

I have a remarkable connection to reality when I eat mushrooms, it seems. I can just point my brain in a direction and it will go as far as I let it. For me, and I don’t know what to call it, I have an interesting “reality bubble” that I can “stay in” if I desire. It’s a part of my brain that knows that everything I am seeing is not real and where I can make somewhat decent choices if I need. I have a tripping inner dialogue as well as a “normal” internal dialogue that keeps me sane. It’s… Interesting.

If I have a task to do, like drawing something or working in CAD, it will keep my brain somewhat focused albeit with a ton of added flair.

And no, I can’t control all of my thoughts but those still remain somewhat superficial and are not really that intrusive. However, letting my mind go free and letting me think about things from a different perspective is probably the primary reason I trip. My personal mental barriers that I have put up over the years are needing to be torn away so I can become the good person I strive to be and deal with some aspects of my past in a somewhat healthy way. I have no fear of a “bad trip” as I view it as an aspect of my life and personality that needs further exploration.

I should note that I have a very high tolerance and psilocybin is a perfect match for my personality type and brain chemistry. (Weed, for example, gets me super paranoid and is not for me.) I can easily eat 5-10 grams just to get me started and have eaten as much as 20 grams throughout an evening.

Short term memory loss is a thing as well. I can completely forget what it was a wanted to think about, but after a bit, I can usually get focused on something. What usually happens is that my brain figures out the solution to the problem I wanted to think about extremely fast so there is not much to ponder on. :P

These are questions you should ponder after a nice healthy dose of psilocybin. You can be just about anywhere you want to be and pick what works for you.

Once the service stops using Twitter, it could be considered a full “switch” I suppose.

Old hardware is awesome to reuse most of the time but it’s not nearly as efficient as our hardware today.

It’s probably good to just properly recycle the old gear and spend $200 on a mini-PC from Amazon that has three times the power all while using less electricity.

I usually completely tear down old equipment into is raw materials, the best I can. It’s less likely to be shipped off to another country for uncontrolled destruction and I get more money back for the materials.

Huh. I don’t see any negatives with any of those words.
