Phun: Psyz

The Phun Psyz community exists mainly on Discord and a few encrypted Telegram channels. There are no leaders, no paid courses, and no merchandise. (Though one user sells "Phun Psyz certified" rocks for $0.50. They are just rocks from a parking lot.)

The unofficial motto is: "If it stops being phun, you are doing the psyz wrong." phun psyz
