A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

What is bio hacking?

I think the mods on this community should implement a rule or maybe a suggestion that people expand on the topic. I'm saying this because it does seem like a topic that would interest me, but without context and having no previous knowledge of it, I'll just move on to the next post.

My understanding is people who make hardware upgrades to their body:

  • ametur surgery to add a magnet to your index finger
  • taking eye enzymes from cave fish and injecting it into a friends eye rk get short term super night vision
  • attaching two prosthetic legs that makes you run faster and longer
  • open source hardware and software for an artificial pancreas

Stuff like that

Isnt it also stuff lime taking supplements and steroids. From what I've seen there is almost no reason not to take testosterone and become enhanced.

[–] AdminWorker@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Testosterone is a hormone. Excess testosterone causes heart issues. (I am not familiar all with current steroids). Injecting crap into eyes can easily cause damage. Ametur surgery has a lot of scarring. Deaths from feedback loops of a diabetic coma with artificial kidneys happen. There is a lot of risk with "bio hacking" and a lot of "supplements" are either dangerous or snake oil

You can stay unenhanced if you want but some people are happy to be labrats and risk their health

[–] randomdeadguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can stay uneducated if you want but some people are happy to be mediocre and live long lives with their families

Such a dumb comment. No one is forcing this on you. You came into a discussion about biohacking to complain that you don't like it.
