I’ve had worse experiences on lemmy.world subs so far. I switched to using the lemmy.ml equivalent due to it.
EDIT: A good example is the reply I got here: lemmy.world/comment/10323234. This !reddit is full of pro-reddit trolls & shills, and the mods don’t fight it. !reddit seems better so far.
The main thing that changed recently is that the admins are now as capricious as mods. The admins don’t live up to a higher standard, they do whatever they want.

I made accounts on Mastodon and Blue Sky but most people still use Twitter, so if there’s info you’re looking for, or if you want to share things, you’re forced to use what most people are using.
There are already compostable alternatives to plastic bags being sold in stores like Target. I heard one of the issues is that people/companies refuse to pay more for them.

It already would be impossible for it to prevent many diseases. Viruses for example that enter through the sinuses, or again, cancers caused by viruses. Heck even then something like norovirus would still wreck you too.
This is not correct. Not everyone gets sick from x virus. The primary reason is differences in their immune system and gut microbiome. Some relevant links for you:
This sounds more like someone who knows some knowledge but isn’t an actual expert in it
No offense, but that describes your comment. The blog should absolutely not sound like that given that it provides citations for its claims.
Not to mention it’s a big ask to strangers who probably don’t even know what a microbiome is.
The 1.2 million people who were sent the email & blog are people who are already familiar with the humanmicrobes.org project. Many of them hold advanced medical & biology degrees.
I agree though that many people are still not familiar with the gut microbiome and FMT. Do you have any suggestion in this regard?
There are at least as many spam/bot signups as there are humans, so account approval negates that completely. Forums aren’t time-based like lemmy and reddit, so there is no sense of urgency. Discussions can take place over months/years. It’s possible to turn on the ability to make a post prior to registering, then when your registration is finalized it gets posted, but I’m not sure how dependable that is. I wouldn’t want people losing content they tried to post due to some cache issue.
I haven’t bothered creating anything on Lemmy. I’ve been urging the Xenforo software developers to join the fediverse. Discourse forum software is doing it, so we may soon see discourse forums show up on lemmy.
There is evidence that it would immensely help with preventing nearly all human-cell borne cancers however, and in my opinion, THAT’S something your messaging should focus strongly on.
Human Microbes doesn’t do any specific messaging/advertising. Just the website where it covers the gut microbiome regulating the entire body and playing a major role in virtually every aspect of health & development. I would think that narrowing the focus to one type of cancer for example would be detrimental.
you’re touting this as a cure all, when really it’s a mass preventative (which again, is still extremely important and something really big).
I think the potential for both prevention and treatment exists for most conditions that are currently beyond medical capabilities. And there is a ton of evidence for this in the wiki I shared. Sure, there are some things that FMT won’t be a solution to of course.
I’m trying to make you realize that it you keep speaking of it as if it is, with only a single biased source, while not admitting the limitations, hurts such a cause greatly.
I think there may be a misunderstanding there. I certainly recognize that FMT and the gut microbiome have limitations.
There is statistically significant evidence that there’s a lot of potential here, but there is yet to be solid evidence that this actually treats most conditions.
That’s all I’ve said as well.
Anyway, you seem to think that FMT’s potential to treat/prevent most types of cancer is something that should be emphasized more. If you have specific suggestions I’m happy to hear them.
I’m doubtful that creating a lemmy community would funnel people to the forum. There is a lot to like about the forum format over time-based ones like lemmy. And the lemmy software is much newer and more incomplete/deficient than Xenforo. I think creating a lemmy community might just lead to fracturing of content/discussions, which would be detrimental. Also, unless you host your own instance it’s not super reliable (as we’ve seen with reddit and other reddit-alternatives).
There’s a reason sites like Reddit sprang up and grew huge despite forums having already existed.
Yeah, but it comes with many major downsides that have become more apparent in recent years. For example, even lemmy seems to get hit hard by astroturfing, misinformation, disinformation, and toxicity. That’s more rare and easier to prevent on forums I think.
It’ll expose more people to the topic though.
Yeah, I was considering using lemmy instead of creating a forum, but decided on the latter after weighing the pros and cons.
There have been efforts to change the “fecal” part of the wording, but it’s largely been unsuccessful. I personally don’t think it’s the biggest problem to focus on. I’d rather try to educate people that healthy poop is not repugnant. They think it’s gross because their own poop is unhealthy.
