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.
This is why I only sniff correction fluid.
Going to add that under inhalants, thanks.
Well, my feelings are so-and-so so I abstain… I don’t think this policy affects me
On the other hand, some of the substances are of varying degrees, but who I am to judge, with China’s history with drugs…
A day to mourn for every chunghwa enthusiast
Nah this is hella corny. Bye. 👋🏿
I see nothing wrong with this given the context of China, so long as it’s applied with context in mind. It’s hard to think of a specific example and I don’t want to be just inventing wild hypotheticals, but if conversation were to organically go to some country’s drug policy that has a different historical context (such as the US and how it vilified drug use in order to do mass incarceration), I would hope you’d be understanding of the reaction to that in the US context. The same as others being understanding of the reaction to drug use / culture / policy in the China context. I would not expect you to be ok with others actively promoting drug use with such a context as an excuse to do so. I just wouldn’t want someone to get a ban because they come from a different context and don’t know the difference, so I’d hope you at least warn them first in such a case. Hope that makes sense.
Sorry for being platform illiterate, this is only a /China rule, not a general lemmygrad rule, right?
It’s only a /c/China community rule, and only when I’m still mod.
Thank you
Nah this applies to hexbear too
based
Damn we fucked then.
I disagree
I agree to it. Especially for a China community considering it’s past struggle with drugs.
On a basic level, I’m fine enough with you choosing to do this for this specific community, but is it really necessary? Have people actually been doing that here in this community specifically? If not, it’s a pretty pointless rule honestly, especially if you’re only making it because you disagreed with people talking about weed in a separate channel
Like, I don’t think the rule’s a bad idea considering China’s history with drugs, but you should make sure you’re doing this for the right reasons rather than out of some grudge or something
Hmm, alright.
sure, i can agree with that. ive had my experience with them but i don’t see why this should be a problem. rules are rules i suppose. its perfectly valid to have negative opinions on drug use, even if i think some arguments are cringe, the same is true for advocates. i didnt come here to promote chemical use or the effects there of, i came to find solidarity. it really shouldn’t be controversial to be asked to keep those topics in other forums.
