These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I'd like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I'm wondering if there's a list?

If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?

OP was helping people find meth on the dark web in the ADHD community and when their posts were removed they posted the same again.

Are you exaggerating when you say meth? Were they helping people who couldn't afford medication find prescription medicine at reasonable prices? Or was it literally street meth?

No. I was helping people practice harm reduction if they do get amphetamine - be it Adderall or LisDex formulation like Vyvanse/Elvanse without the oversight of a medical professional or pharmacist and explaining that it is a possibility, and that instead of the war on drugs type approach of claiming it's simply not real, we should take care of our own with solidarity, e.g. explaining how to get proper purity tests to ensure you are not consuming meth, how to find reliable and semi-trustworthy sources, avoid scams etc.

Just comveying things I learned the hard way - from experience - while waiting on the NHS for a prescription that I have now and having to keep my life together to keep my job etc in the meanwhile.

I did the same for my own IRL gf who suffered from meds shortages, and I did the same for the trans community back in the day and I stand by it.

Edit: I genuinely cannot understand how this can be downvoted by anyone of sound mind whatsoever. Every single person I know with ADHD self-medicates or has self-medicated with darknet amph or supplemented during shortages due to healthcare system fuckups, but they are shit at it, getting god knows what miscallenous powders and suffering.

How could someone ever possibly disagree with promoting harm reduction practices, yet agree with a sensationalist comment that equates ADHD medication to meth? How can you actually think at all, and arrive at such a conclusion?

Bold claim, asserting that whoever downvoted you thought before doing it. Humans short-circuit all the time, nothing you can do about that, and getting bitter or exasperated won't help, either. Deal with it. If you want you can start your comments with something universally agreeable, that always helps, and only then get into details. "Universally agreeable" as in "agreeable to both truth and all false notions anyone on earth has at the moment". If you want to get idiots to listen you have to start out on a common ground that they share.

More specifically, in this case, you could've started your comment with a short rant about the state of availability of ADHD medication.

I'm not bitter, ultimately none of this affects me in the selfish sense, just lightly perplexed. I appreciate your explanation. Figures most people just have kneejerk reactions.
