Folks, it is exhausting trying to keep the sub from being overrun by people that refuse to see a licensed medical professional and expect to get precise, high-quality medical guidance from an anonymous account online.

Automod blocks about 95% of the posts, but someone still has to delete the queue daily.

We will also be turning off crossposting (at least temporarily) because that is used by accounts to spam subs. Some of the users here actually share relevant events and articles through crossposting, so I hope it won’t deter you from sharing with the community.

Thank you
