Unfortunately, this has happened and is likely still happening on lemmy (mostly for comments and not posts). see here.
If you do it en masse, reddit detects it and sends your account a warning. It’s purposefully built to make you use the API.
“I eat relatively healthy”
“Sometimes my only food in the entire day is peanut butter”
it’s so essy to make a bot too. And reddit is earning loads through the API so they don’t bother to stop it.
FYI unfortunately that sub got taken over by pro-russia and pro-ccp tankies.
One of the mod of the sub is also a hexbear mod.
Honestly. I’ve found nearly every medical professional hates when you know more than them about your disease. In my experience it sort of makes them treat you worse. So I tend to try and steer things into the way I want them without being explicit if you know what I mean.
Say I want to try low dose naltrexone (which is a cheap non-patented drug, that has minimal side effects and may help a few autoimmune diseases, research is mixed, and since there’s no patent no one is bothering to actually conduct large trials).
Instead of asking if I can try the drug. I’ll ask the doctor if they’ve heard of it, what they think of it. Then say I have the kind of symptoms the drug helps. I guide them towards what I want instead of saying it explicitly. Because for some reason, saying it explicitly seems to raise red flags and you never get what you want.
But yeah I have a stigmatised disease that was psychologised for decades and doctors treat you horribly in general when you have it so maybe I need to resort to measures that others might not need to.
switzerland too
I’m not going to remove what you said but please be more considerate in the future. This conmunity has high scientific standards for medical advice (see rule 3) and an opinion piece in a dodgy medical journal written by a single doctor doesn’t cut it.
Show us a major review or a government guidleline. Otherwise, replace “is” by “I think”.
What you sent has as much quality as a bachelor students opinion piece. And fails to consider correlation may not be causation.
For example vegan people are richer on average (being vegan is expensive). Turns out rich people are thinner on average. So is being rich or being vegan what declines in chances of obsesity?
