It smells like it tastes good but I don’t think it will. I don’t think it’s vegan so I’m not going to find out.

For me there is a good soap taste and a bad soap taste. Cilantro is the good soap taste.

What a beautiful ethereal atmosphere you have captured!

Did you see reasons were given in the mod log?

I can’t see the posts or what comm they are in so I can’t tell you if I agree with the reason for most. I can tell you that this post did not belong in Shower Thoughts so the removal makes sense and I can guess the “unrelated to Linux” reason for the post about free speech seems like it’s probably a fair assessment too.

Thanks, the other interpretation that I thought was possible was that the admins hang on for too long. No, it doesn’t make sense lol. That’s why I asked 😅

Can you elaborate? I can see two meanings for the situation you’re describing.

Impossible that it becomes shittified? Yes.

Please excuse the messy analogy:

Lemmy is an open source software running on different servers (instances, or websites as you may experience them) and administered by different people.

It is not developed or operated for profit. If the developers decided to pivot to extracting money from it (lol, lmao even) people could just fork and keep the older versions going.

Each instance can be run however the admin desires, which is why you will see people calling certain mods or admin authoritarian or power tripping. Unlike reddit, where there may be expectation that moderation activity is in line with reddit policy, each instance will have their own style.

Edit: introduces an analogy and forgets to use it 😶‍🌫️ It was actually pretty trash so I’m just going to leave it out lol

I was using it to demonstrate that immaculate conception as a concept isn’t necessarily parthenogenesis.

Virgin birth means there was no sexual intercourse. IVF allows conception without intercourse and certainly doesn’t prevent the introduction of Y chromosomes.

Mod logs are public. There are limitations because all moderation actions will not be shown on all instances, but where were you banned from?

I see 4 removed posts on lemmy.world:

A few more removed posts on your home instance:

Nothing different on my instance or lemmy.ml.

Are you sure you were banned?

I’m sorry for your loss.

I think what would be helpful to do is to outline your goals because I am seeing a few different ones in there. Once that’s established, you could look at the best path.

You mention that it’s not illegal federally. US federal laws about illegal drugs come from their inclusion on the controlled substances list. It’s not on this list. But that doesn’t mean it’s legal to sell at gas stations.

It is currently illegal to sell Kratom as a drug product (i.e. prescription or over the counter product) on the federal level because it is not a registered drug with the FDA. It is also currently illegal to sell it as a dietary supplement or food additive.

So it’s already illegal. But it still happens all the time, right? Is the goal more enforcement then?

Either Congress or the DEA Administrator can place a substance in a CSA schedule, move a substance to a different schedule, or remove a substance from the schedules. Congress can take those scheduling actions by enacting legislation. DEA, for its part, may make permanent scheduling decisions through a formal rulemaking process. The agency can also temporarily place substances in Schedule I on an emergency basis when “necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety.”

It looks like the process to temporarily place it on schedule 1 on an emergency basis is underway.

This article also explains what Congress will need to do to make it permanent.

The Pope is asked what name they will use. This is after they accept the position of pope, which means they are already pope at that moment.

So they can pick whatever name they want. They aren’t going to be fired.

Seriously though they don’t have to pick a new name at all. It’s often meant to be symbolic or recognizing a mentor or influence.

And did what? They didn’t disrupt anything. Parades on weekends are good for raising awareness, I’m not going to say they are useless. But they are fundamentally different from the other examples given.

Absolute wild guess that it’s Wales. Mostly based on how there is an expectation it’s not well known as a country and vibes on physical appearance.

My favorite whelsh pronunciation:

That’s actually…kinda genius. It’s not just fresh thinking: it’s a scalable and green solution to a real problem. I think you could really make a difference with this idea. Would you like to work out some ways we can make life worse for the working class while we implement it?
