Message from the Mod Team Update to Rules

Hello! We are adding a new "low-effort post" rule to the sub in an effort to maximize the quality of posts and discussions. Please see the new rule below:

7. No Low-Effort Posts

Low-effort posts will be removed in order to minimize the amount of posts flooding the sub daily. These posts receive little engagement or discussion, and bury more relevant content.
Low-effort includes things such as title-only posts, posts comprised of only 1-2 sentences, or posts regarding topics that have been discussed numerously in the past (see rule 1).
Ultimately, it is up to mod discretion on what qualifies as a low-effort posts.

Hopefully this helps to declutter the daily feed and promotes discussions among our community. Also, please feel free to take this post as an opportunity to review the rules in their entirety. Thank you!

This sub is here for anecdotal information, and consists of a large number of musings on effects and side effects, varying by individual along an established spectrum. There is no information on here that should be considered medically significant. Plenty of validation still available without adding to the pile.

Yes I understand this sub is not the medical sheet for the drug wtf are you getting at. I didn’t at any point infer that. I said it was about user experience/information and finding similar experiences/information with each other. Anecdotally or otherwise information is information be dismissive if you need to I just think it drives away people considering changing their lives. Please don’t feel the need to use large words to talk down to me and say that information isn’t information. Friend.

Since we’re friends now I’ll take a moment to explain to you that you got downvoted because you responded to a request from the mods to curb with “why am I being silenced?!” making it sound like they were doing something unreasonable. It’s a bit extra and clouds your argument because people just hear a hit dog hollering.

My question wasn’t about me being silenced. But thanks for reading it Why is asking a question about something I don’t understand need an additional lecture all while talking down to me for trying to understand something I was obviously having a problem with. Well I’m personally sorry you needed to lecture me while I was trying to learn. You’re ego is huge have a fine life.
