Our mushrooms growing workshop sold out fast. There's going to be another mushrooms growing workshop, in the Fall. All the participants today, were delighted to make their own blue oysters grow bucket to take home.

Our next workshop at the community orchard is a fruit tree grafting workshop - which is sold out with a waiting list.

A series of photos documenting a mushroom growing workshop. The first shows a monitor and laptop displaying "Mushroom Growing 101" alongside bags of substrate on a table. Subsequent photos depict participants handling the substrate, mixing it with straw in blue buckets, and a final image showing a bag labeled "Wine Cap - Garden Giants" on a bed of wood chips, with a sign reading "FUJI."

It talks about AI and it was not shared as unlisted.

imo, this feels to me like an indicator that the rule was too broad, given the thought and nuance behind the post. I do understand also that 99% of engagement on the topic is not high-effort/high-value, and that most instance members welcomed the new rule, and that part of being in a community is yielding on some things to maintain cohesion. but there is a part of me that is pretty disappointed that we totally banned a topic of such relevance (regardless of the perceived value), and that the creative and critical minds of the extended merveilles community won't be part of this conversation moving forward. I'm not really suggesting the rule be changed given its reception, but am just sort of publicly lamenting the fact that this piece of writing, which feels important and very much like it should belong here, is no longer welcome here, and that I'm not really sure there's an alternative community for it to live within.

for context, I didn't report this myself, but had two reports made on it from members of the instance. I read the post, it does have a bit of nuance, but folks on here(me included) are just exhausted of having these circular arguments on topics we've decided collectively that we want to avoid. I agree with the reports, it should have been unlisted. The local feed is just not the place to discuss about Claude and Chatgpt, whether they're great or terrible.

The whole rest of the internet is that place right now.

@jakintosh @neauoire I do agree with you jak that it feels wrong to ban a topic of discussion. However, I see the rule as a way to keep (only) the local feed free of AI in a time when it’s practically impossible to avoid the topic elsewhere, which I like. At the same time, I can’t really say that e.g. my operating system endeavors are more interesting/thoughtful and worthy of the local feed than a well thought out post on AI.

it's not really about a post being necessarily interesting to everyone. It doesn't have to be, it's about topics of conversation that actively harm the mental well-being of members, like the no-gore post on the timeline for example.

You'd think it's a very low bar to clear, but the same point can be made, why ban the discussion on carnist views in a time when the beef tallow business has never been better.

For the sake of people who come here to escape all that, let's use unlisted. 😀

@neauoire @gustav @jakintosh this sounds a lot more clearcut than how I'd personally interpreted the rule. Maybe the jackpotmaxxing rule could be clarified to literally say 'no AI discussions on public local timeline', else I think this will be a recurring issue.

As currently written the rule reads to me as only 'AI promotion' or 'AI good' posts forbidden.
