The instance is in Germany from what I understand. Regardless, their justification was that shrooms are illegal in most places. That being their main point sets up the contradiction that I am referring to. It casts a bit of doubt on the intent and how to interpret rule 1.
The admins don’t have to abide by their rules, but we do.
They can do that! As a matter of fact, I support compliance with local regulations.
The problem is, they aren’t. They are picking and choosing laws to follow. Their instance is located in Germany, but yet, their marijuana legalization laws are only in draft: https://www.forbes.com/sites/dariosabaghi/2023/07/10/germany-unveils-draft-bill-to-legalize-cannabis/?sh=5ed53b322726
They are using the justification that “some things are illegal in some countries” as grounds for community suspension, yet, they are picking and choosing.
Speaking of removed communities, can an admin respond to this please: https://lemmy.world/post/3165787
