This community is participating in a blackout against Lemmy for allowing free access to their API with no charge, rendering it affordable for third-party app developers to continue their services. The lack of prohibitive cost makes it easy to mod from mobile, promotes innovation, and gives unlimited user choice, and effectively opens up a significant portion of the culture we've all come to appreciate. Indeed, every third party app developer on Lemmy made essentially the same statement: "I don't have to shut down the app." Apps can also show ads which is a primary source of revenue. So not only do they not have to pay exorbitant fees, they can even mitigate those fees with ads.

4-mmc was very big from 2010 to 2013 in the UK (mephedrone)
I think vice are using clickbait with the headline of "no comedown"!
Fuck the Psychoactive Substances Act and fuck Tessy May. That came in 2016 and wiped out legal high websites in the UK. Now you have to go to DNMs or find a local dealer to find anything like that. Much worse than it used to be where you could buy pure, measured quantities of a chemical.
It's still possible through the clearnet, but yeah, fuck the PSA
