Never enough to disassociate. Only lots of LSD and 4-HO-DET ever did that to me.

The most striking memory with DMT was at night seeing a moonlight cloud full of skulls staring back down at me. I frequently saw skulls in any texture.

It was very long ago. Unfortunately the dealer was raided.

It left a noticable residue in the simplistic vape we had and a few subsequent uses still carried traces of it.

Doesn't matter if the images are AI generated.

That's my initial response, anyway. I'll concede that it's not well thought out. For one, it isn't comprehensive enough to solve the problem of the perpetrator being halfway around the world.

If you still feel limited, then the solution to your problem is to have multiple accounts for the mutually-exclusive communities you enjoy. That's what people do on Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter with their alt accounts. Keep that in mind whenever you encounter someone online using an anime profile pic.

The major factor I look for when choosing a mastodon instance is the business model. The vast majority are free, which leads to either limits on registration, ads, or spammy free-for-all instances. I want to join a mastodon instance that I can pay for, as a control over these types of problems. If it can sustain itself through membership, then the experience and policies should be relatively stable.

For the above reasons, I use mastodon.green.
