hexbear doesn't have downvotes. seems weird to preemptively make a rule when we're not going to change or productively debate chinese drug policy and weed/shrooms/lsd/whatever aren't part of any capitalist plots to re-run opium.
are you ideologically anti-drug like middle-aged white americans or is the motivation here about respecting the history and material conditions that caused china to be how it is?
This is the /c/China community on Lemmygrad.ml, not hexbear.net.
the no-downvotes includes federated posts even if the instance has them
One solution is for someone from hexbear to comment that they're against this new rule, and then people from hexbear can upvote that comment.
i doubt we're particularly fussed about the rule, i mostly commented because i'm broadly interested in the philosophy of moderation
Indeed, there should be a defined process for the introduction of new rules in a community, maybe in the form of suggestions, or when an incident requiring moderation occurred that wasn't covered by the rules. My next step might be making a post to receive suggestions for community rules, though /c/China isn't a particularly active community so there hasn't been many rule violations.
