Rule 4: Do not promote or put drugs/alcohol/tobacco/weed/psychedelics/inhalants in a positive light.
Some comrades mentioned in private channels that weed is not addictive, I’m not going to argue on this point because this is a fundamental divide between China and some western countries.
My view is that whether you’re addicted to them or not, you shouldn’t promote these substances or put them in a positive light. It’s fine if you don’t agree with me, but anyone who leaves a comment here arguing the opposite will be banned from the community (30 days for now).
If a lot of people oppose this rule, either by downvotes and/or number of comments, I will willingly step down as moderator of this community.
the no-downvotes includes federated posts even if the instance has them
One solution is for someone from hexbear to comment that they’re against this new rule, and then people from hexbear can upvote that comment.
i doubt we’re particularly fussed about the rule, i mostly commented because i’m broadly interested in the philosophy of moderation
