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.

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.
