The Dread Pirate Roberts reference is from the movie Princess Bride.
Wesley spends years building up an immunity to a fictional substance called "iocaine powder", the most deadly substance known to man. He tricks a foe into drinking wine laced with it, killing his foe while he survives.
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.
Speaking of removed communities, can an admin respond to this please: https://lemmy.world/post/3165787
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.
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.
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.
I am on other instances. The problem is that they are, like it or not, the first impression that new users get of Lemmy and the rest of the federation.
beholden to their guidelines
I am all for that! They need to properly define those guidelines. While it is "their" instance, the intent is for it to be publicly accessible. Continuity with their own guidelines is kind of important to help this space grow as a public instance. I don't care what those guidelines are, just make them consistent.
