Sure, why not! Engagement is engagement.

Anyway - yes, conversations are what good moderators are looking for in their communities.

Oh yeah! This has been great, all the activity and attention has tripled my subscribers since this YPTB post was made.

The number of conversations in a community is a measure of something.

A measure for something…

All of a sudden you don’t make sense?

How do you gauge when your communities are successful? Would you like to share your metrics for success?

Conversations in the community.

Check your block list, you blocked a person that is in the thread chain so you don’t see anything below that.

https://lemmy.sdf.org/settings then click on blocks.

Carnivore also gets you banned from a bunch of other communities that aren’t related to diet at all.

Yeah, this is intentional, if I as a human have to review someone’s behavior and approve a community ban then I don’t want to have to do it for each of my communities one after another. It’s a broad heuristic. I probably should improve the tooling to only do the ban by a group of communities rather then all I moderate.

As you can imagine in the past removing someone from a single community causes them to go to my other communities and throw negativity around.

Ideally each community would have a moderator account so they arn’t obviously linked - that is a optimization for the future.

Make a default plan. Before you learn everything, just say in 20 minutes I’m going to do x unless I know better. Then do all the research you want for 20 minutes, then if you don’t know better, do x.

You can obviously modify this for longer time frames, deeper research etc. Just have a default plan that you will do by a time, rather than waiting for perfect information.

This is really good for executive function, and for emergencies, if you don’t know better, you do the default.

If you blocked somebody you won’t see their comments.

If they blocked you, they won’t see your comments. But you will still see their comments.

absolutely question the carnivore diet as a general thing

I’m sure you have seen enough snippits by now to know all that I know about carnivore. The ketogenic diet is probably the single most studied eating pattern in all the literature (its not that keto is special, its that nutritional research is so very sparse)

Where does the outstanding concern come from? The ketogenic aspect (lack of carbohydrates)? Or fibre? Or vitamin C? I’m happy to try to close the gap.

I even have blood work I can share - nothing is off limits for science.

Please disengage.

Please follow Lemmy.ml’s rule #2 - Be respectful. https://lemmy.ml/post/1140303

At this point you are harassing me. Please disengage.

It demonstrates I’ve been following a carnivore diet, at this point your just denying everything I say… which is rather childish.

I do actually!

You don’t have to agree with my choices, but you should at least give me the benefit of the doubt.

Your opposing view is just denial… Show me a non-epidemiological published paper on the dangers of a ketogenic metabolism or animal based foods… Change my mind please.

That is just a ad hominem attack.

Thank you for your opinion about my opinion. You have not changed my mind, but that is ok, I don’t expect you to.

But why are you even here? If your not going to try to educate me, are you here for performative signaling? Nobody is watching this post anymore.

You clearly just googled “carnivore diet is healthy study” and posted the first four results that came up, you don’t give a shit about what’s actually true you’re just here to push an agenda

You do realize each of those link to a post I made for the paper with my notes for those papers.

If your not even going to try to engage in earnest discussion without disparaging me and my motives… I don’t think we are going to have a productive talk.

can’t handle an opposing opinion.

Well … WHAT IS YOUR OPPOSING OPINION? Show me the non-epidemology that a ketogenic diet is unhealthy, or that animal based foods are unhealthy.

So far you have only illustrated that you don’t like the concept of the community… There isn’t much there for me to work with.

Double points if they can be mention banning someone and free speech in the same sentence.

Free Speech and Freedom of assembly are both compatible.

I don’t care if I’m banned it doesnt change my life.

Your not banned… you haven’t broken any community guidelines. I’ve decided our interactions in this thread mean I probably should just put the ban in place, we have demonstrated we can’t be civil in our conversations and it wouldn’t be productive.

Scientific literature isn’t valid because its old?

Evaluations of pre-westernize cultures has value to us today.
