General discussion about Kratom. Sourcing information (vendors etc.) is not allowed.

I'm not challenging the rule or anything, it just seems a little out of place here. Potential legal repercussions for our server's owner maybe?

Because these are opioid substances that you consume by the gram? These are not some mechanical keyboard parts.

Also vote manipulation, brigading, multiple accounts and exploits have a pretty low bar of entry currently.

That's a terrible argument for not allowing sourcing, it's defending no rational reasoning for it whatsoever..

I can test say LSD analogs with a pretty well distributed array of reagent kits. Same might go for a number of synthetic substances that you usually order on nootropic or research chem sites.

On the other hand, you cant simply do the same for a plant choke full of different alkaloids.

If this, and the fact that you can vote manipulate, is not an issue, feel free to nessage anyone for private suggestions on kratom vendors since you are getting roughly the same reliability.

Also, just fucking do a kratom sub on a federated instance. I would gladly watch how long it lasts.

Is it just me or is half the stuff your typing gibberish? Like, for real, the first 2 paragraphs you wrote have nothing to do with anything we are talking about?

LSD? Reagent kits? Synthetic substance abuse? Noorotropic? None of those has anything to do with kratom or vendors..

Vote manipulation is an issue with sourcing how exactly? You think somebody is going to use bots to upvote a source in posts or comments? If the kratom sucks somebody will chime in..

I have no idea what 75% of what you are typing has to do with sourcing either way.

And why would I make another kratom sub when this already exists albeit with a bad rule against sourcing?

So because I use analogies about sourcing using substance related subreddits, Im talking gibberish? Have a nice day buddy.

Well the types of site abuse you mention is true for the vast majority of new instances.

And I think anyone who comes to this instance has a pretty good idea what kratom is. So, since the fediverse does not have the kind of look pretty for corporate investors demand, I was just curious why the owner of this server had banned vendor talk.

Well, other than an array of possible pitfalls like the ones I answered for the other user, it might simply be easier to moderate for the current mod.

He does not want to spend time deciding whether a vendor is a scam or reliable, whether it is genuine review or not.

[–] RecursiveParadox 2 points 1 year ago

Not being able to tell if a vendor is reliable or a review a scam it a good point.
