    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.

      Huh … funny.

      Still, from lemmy.world’s perspective, I can appreciate the logic. I think many were thinking that lemmy.world would be the “everything” instance. Instead, it’s probably best thought of as the “vanilla” instance, which frankly makes sense. In a decentralised ecosystem, where moderation policies are allowed to be specific and don’t need to bend over to try to be as expansive as possible, because any other alternative policy can be easily deployed on another instance, it makes perfect sense. It’s just some were expecting something broader as a direct substitute for reddit without having to worry about the whole decentralisation thing.
