Thanks for the question. So Lemmy does support downvotes but I've decided to disable them on this instance. The reason is just that I don't like seeing downvotes and I don't really see the point in them. I think rule-breaking content should be reported and outside of that what people usually do is use downvotes to signal that they disagree with someone. I saw a good discussion on this elsewhere on Lemmy not that long ago but for now I'd rather keep them disabled unless there is a really good reason.
Hey OP, a lot of people are suggesting psilocybin or other psychedelics. If you're interested you can ask questions about that in the !magic@wizanons.dev community. I moderate it but there are psychonauts there that know about this stuff who are friendly and helpful.
100% agree with this. Ever since getting into shrooms the world has become so much more alive and I feel far better about life in general.
I run a community for magic and mysticism if anyone is interested called !magic@wizanons.dev which focuses on this type of discussion. Anyone is welcome to join the discussion or ask questions.
I agree. Sometimes I like the shorter, more intense, trips. 6 or so hours on mushrooms feels like a long time. Even after that time it takes a while to really come back down to a more normal level. It's all about head space though, I can appreciate long trips too.
Oh I'm not worried at all. We'll grow slowly but I'm just excited to experience it along the way too. I should have required applications before this happened but I wanted to make it easy for new folks to get in.
A good thing about this instance is that we're federated with everyone and so we can freely access anybody's instance. Large instances like beehaw have deferated now with other people so their users are unable to view or interact with content on those instances.
I'll try to keep us open with everyone, which was one of my concerns with the bots. They could misbehave on other instances and make us look bad.
Anyway, small instances are fun too for those reasons. I continue to mention our communities every once in a while on other platforms so we can gradually grow as well.
Yeah, I don't like the taste either. It's definitely hard to get down but once it is it's blast off. The lemon juice pre-disgests it and makes it faster too. I'm not totally sure I'd recommend that method but it was an interesting experience.
Ah yeah, I'm not sure there is another way. Not one I've seen unfortunately. I'm planning on actually developing for Lemmy soon, since I have Rust experience, but haven't yet done too much deep dive into the code.
There is a way I could probably change your username in the database, but who knows what issues that could potentially cause.
The key is set and setting. What that means is being in a good place mentally to experience the trip (mindset) as well as being in the proper setting that is very comfortable, clean, and safe. Also having a sitter is a good idea as long as you're comfortable with them.
Be somewhere where you will feel safe and make sure you don't have anything that needs doing that day. No plans for something you need to rush too, etc. For a beginner the other comments are pretty good advice, start with a low dose and enjoy it. That means less than 2.5g (dried).
Glad to hear it! I just felt an opportunity to share knowledge of what I was working with recently since qBittorrent added support for it. If you're interested in staying connected you can subscribe to one of the communities on my lemmy instance, wizanons.dev. !general@wizanons.dev and !magic@wizanons.dev Keep in mind we're very small still but I like keeping up with people and being friendly : )
Yeh I had tried torrenting on Tor a LONG time ago but people made it clear to not do that on Tor for one reason or another. But on i2p, the devs made a torrent client directly into the software. It was one of their features and something they want people to use.
That is correct. For geoblocked content only available in certain regions, a VPN is still useful. However, much of that content can be obtained through other methods. You could download it and use Plex/Jellyfin to stream it to Roku or Firestick.
Honestly that is fine. Just consider this to be one of the times you hear about I2P. I also don't typically start paying much attention to something unless I've heard it like 3 or more times.
So it looks like setup on ubuntu should be pretty straightforward. Follow these steps to install the java client as a package: https://geti2p.net/en/download/debian
Then under their Post-install work on the bottom of that page follow this:
as a service that automatically runs when your system boots, even before logging in. The service can be enabled with "dpkg-reconfigure i2p" as root or using sudo. This is the recommended means of operation.
That will cause i2p to automatically run at startup. You can use the other methods there if you don't want that behavior. Lastly, you'll need to configure a browser to use i2p. https://geti2p.net/en/about/browser-config
Firefox is a good one to use for it but you can use librewolf or another one.
And I think that's it as far as setup for ubuntu. Let me know if you have more questions : )

For anyone looking for 1TB - 2TB drives I'd recommend the Micron 2400 2TB SSD: https://www.newegg.com/micron-2tb-2400-series/p/0D9-0022-000N1?Item=0D9-0022-000N1
It also has low power like the corsair and it is at a cheap price at $162.
I've had great experiences with it so far. Runs great.

Typically it is just unnecessary. And believe it or not VPNs will slow you down too.

Psychonaughts wiki also has a good page on this: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushrooms#Dosage_and_preparation
It was a heroic dose of cubes. I think that time it may have been dissolved in a lemon/tea mix as well.

That's fair. I like proton : )
It just works
This is hilarious. Thank you hahahahah.
That's exactly correct!
