Yep, users and communities can shift away to a new instance if they want. While the fact that there might be 3+ communities on different instances all covering the same topic is a weak point, it's also a strength in this regard, so it kind of evens out. And if you really want to, you can make your own instance.

Never smoked, edibles only, but anything but the weakest THC levels gives me an intense paranoia that I despise. However, if I do manage to get something with a stupidly low THC dosage, I get to enjoy it for its benefits. Mostly, it helps my brain let go of obsessive thinking. It's a bit like a muscle relaxing after holding it tight.
But damn is that a tightrope to walk. I absolutely do not blame you for never touching the stuff again.
Also one time I took an edible that was paired with melatonin and thought I was going to suffocate and die. (Then I slept for 10 hours.)
I like catbox.moe myself!
Thank you!
I wish I had a better idea of industry norms. The company I originally worked at was willing to pay for udemy classes and similar and was known to put a couple of us up in important conferences where we could reap a lot of knowledge (and network.) Then we got bought and the new company doesn't pay for shit. Has an education "stipend" to reimburse you for things you pay out of pocket towards education/training, but it has a yearly cap.
I can't tell if I was privileged before the acquisition or just kind of fucked over afterwards.

There's bewholesome@lemmy.world (sorry not sure how to link a community) for wholesome memes, but I'm not sure this would qualify.
I heard buying local is fine so we got some sandwiches from a local restaurant, but other than that, we just stayed in. So success on our parts I think!
Reminds me of how RTGame censors the word 'fuck' with the word 'Youtube' on videos posted to Youtube
