I'd help mod a weed / drugs community. Finally something I'm qualified for I guess. :michael-laugh:
I'm not even on there that much, but if you need me for the username credit I'm willing
While we're at it, can we have an actual /c/trees sub? For the big plants that give us shade and fruit, not like the subr*ddit /r/trees that makes a mockery of our large wooden friends.
I used to, until I worked somewhere that had a web filter that disallowed any URLs with bad words in them, lol. I just wanna look at trees!
A lot of the subr*ddits with 'porn' in their name are mostly cool photos, like /r/earthporn, and they have the same problem.
There's a set of mirror subreddits set up for exactly this reason. I forget the exact name(s).
I remember seeing some set of subs where a sub dedicated to political memes had a name like "anime titties" and the sub that was actually about anime titties had some name about political memes. I don't remember what they were though.
Some users are in recovery and would not like to see that. It'd be cool if it could be set up so it can't appear on the front page, though.
Right now you can hide certain comms by subscribing to all the ones you actually want to see, and then changing your default homepage view in settings to "Subscribed" instead of "All." I have been doing this for a while because anything to do with Christianity pokes at my PTSD, and it works well enough. An actual blocking feature for comms really should be implemented though.
Unsubscribe from can check and other Comms you don't want to see and change your default page view from "all" to "subscribed" in the settings. That should work
Didn't realize about those posters. hmm yeah maybe their is a way to do it.
Kids are here and that's a bad look. Just go to reddit or erowid, there are better places for that info with more people. And there's nothing inherently leftist about drugs.
And there’s nothing inherently leftist about drugs.
Never said there was? Drug stuff pops up on main from time to time though and kids can't see that? I was thinking more from a harm reduction stand point.
I didn't make my point well; this site is inherently leftist and I think that the topics that we choose to focus communities around should relate to that somehow.
I'm not interested in preventing drug posts on this site, I just don't think having them as a focus is necessarily a good thing.
And just to be clear, I do not say this from some prudish anti-drug standpoint.
I didn’t make my point well; this site is inherently leftist and I think that the topics that we choose to focus communities around should relate to that somehow.
I get that, but we have some flippant comms like games and movies and we manage to keep those discussions on track with leftism though so I don't see how discussion around drugs would be any different. I think it could be a positive space to discuss anything related to drugs from law, to harm reduction, trip sitting, general info on all things related.
I wonder if the drugs comm is going to attract or repel the kinds of people that were changing the site name for.
I don't see that having much bearing on the subject, the site's name is pretty irrelevant to the discussions here.
The site's name is changing because some people want to impress other people who are scared away by the mere mention of a podcast. I don't know why we wouldn't also consider the perceptions of those same people when deciding whether to associate the site with drugs and drug use, given that we're already making such large charges with them in mind.
I thought the site's name change was to move away from chapo because they're pretty lib? My point is that drug discussion comes up in main and if people want to get rid of main, where does that go? Like you said there's other sites but we're potentially driving people away to get scooped up by libs or reactionaries by not allowing discussion here.
Good point about main going away, actually. Yeah that'll change things.
The utility in a drugs comm is the collective knowledge, which is what makes Reddit such a good resource
Yeah it would be nice if people didn't have to rely on reddit for that.
I would definitely at least participate on such a comm.
Now, back to hitting this Volcano bag. (Yes, really.)
Yeah it's a bit bougie, but I'm spoiled now :P I haven't actually smoked any weed since we lost power back in September lol
Ah ha! Guess we can blame all this legalized weed popping up on The Gay Agenda!
I'll comment the same thing I do everytime this comes up
