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?

    @RecursiveParadox I can’t speak for @foof. I started a kratom community on kbin.social. I also decided not to allow sourcing. The reason is that I am not interested in running a marketplace. I don’t want a bunch of spam. I think there is a lot of other stuff to discuss.

    It would be great to have a separate place for vendors to advertise, people to post reviews and so on. Hoping someone will take that on who wants to have it happen!

      I’d be open to hosting one on my box as long as there wasn’t any marketplace/selling directly on the site cause of legal crap. I know people who’ve been helped by Kratom and it’s not illegal in my area, so I’d be open to chat.

      Yes now that people have brought up that point it totally makes sense.

      And I agree we could use a kind of “Without Prejudice” / Caveat Emptor kind of place somewhere.

      What’s the address of yours?

        The one I started is https://kbin.social/m/kratom

        I can’t really find anyone on fediverse actively discussing kratom. It seems slow going for all the communities regardless of rules.

        I would like a place to discuss vendors… but I do not know how all these fediverse admins will react to this. I would be interested to observe other situations to see what happens. For now it’s all pretty freewheeling but I don’t think that’s gonna last. Since kratom in general is so low-interest I don’t think we’re gonna be the ones to test it.
