A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.
Rules
-
Be excellent to each other
-
Absolutely no ableism. This includes harmful stereotypes: lazy/freeloaders etc
-
No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
-
No denialism or minimisation This applies challenges faced by chronically ill people.
-
No psychosomatising psychosomatisation is a tool used by insurance companies and governments to blame physical illnesses on mental problems, and thereby saving money by not paying benefits. There is no concrete proof psychosomatic or functional disease exists with the vast majority of historical diagnoses turning out to be biomedical illnesses medicine has not discovered yet. Psychosomatics is rooted in misogyny, and consisted up until very recently of blaming women’s health complaints on “hysteria”.
Did your post/comment get removed? Before arguing with moderators consider that the goal of this community is to provide a safe space for people suffering from chronic illness. Moderation may be heavy handed at times. If you don’t like that, find or create another community that prioritises something else.

MODERATORS
Theyre meant to deliver emphasis on the words so you don't read it all monotone in your head. For example maybe "wow, okay. RUDE" but all bold comes off as being too aggressive. I personally think it enhances the post. Also, if you can't handle them, down vote and move on.
I mean, I know that the bold font is meant to add emphasis, and that's exactly the problem. You can only emphasize so many words in a sentence before it starts to grate on your readers' nerves.
I kinda like it. I completely understand why others wouldn't, but I like getting an insight into how the author would say the sentence. My own natural stress falls very differently to the bold words.
I didn’t notice until you said something. Just kind of read it as if it was spoken.
I feel like it's of some import to point out that stuff like that makes writing less accessible for some neurodivergent people. I know I had trouble reading it.
Ironically, it's probably a neruo-divergent person writing it though lol.
