    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.

    Can we please avoid the eletism among cultivators in this community? For example, the uncle bens tek gets a lot of shit in the broader community even though it works well and has exposed tons of people to mycology. If it weren’t for uncle bens, I wouldn’t have gotten into this at all. Now I’m doing agar transfers, liquid cultures, testing different substrates and setting up to grow pans. And the beginning was frought with gatekeeping and shit talking until I found Uncle bens and /r/contamfam

      Do you know if it’s against the rules on that community to post psychedelic mushrooms? I’m a member but I didn’t want to break the rules by posting my Golden Teachers.

      Looks like that’s for the non-magical kind.

        All fungi are magical ;)

        The mycology community is more general in scope. Psychedelic mushrooms are not excluded, but there can be so much specialized discussion in that sub-category that is worth it having a more specialized community.

        There is also the first community [email protected] dedicated to growing, but it is not very active.

          Is wild bird seed tech welcome? I miss r/mushroomgrowers, and I’m looking to join a like community. There was a r/unclebens too, but I never went there.

                Ah, actually, I responded thinking that you meant the /c/mycology community.

                I’m not the creator/mod of the uncle_ben’s community, and the sidebar says “A community for the uncle ben’s mushroom growing technique.”, so I am actually not sure. I think it would be fine… Sorry!
