Donations or grants would probably be best. I'm sure there are community grants available for doing public good.

I've also seen some open source things sell merch, where you buy a hat or something with a particular logo. It's still donating with extra steps, but it's a little different

Our instance admin broke it down recently, and it's actually not too expensive to run. Without wasting money on engagement, growth, data collection, marketing, etc, it's not actually that expensive to run social media platforms I guess

But TechCrunch has now confirmed the Pebble instance was recently established by Pebble co-founder and CEO Gabor Cselle as something of a new social experiment. However, members of the Pebble community are involved in the server’s moderation.

Cselle tells us that the community asked the founders to set up a subreddit and a Mastodon instance so they’d have somewhere to go when Pebble shut down, so they did.

“And then something really interesting happened, which is after we started with Mastodon, a bunch of people came over,” he says. One of them, a user only known as “Blobcat” (@[email protected]) posted a link to their GitHub repo where they had styled the Mastodon instance to look just like how Pebble used to. So Pebble.social got a new look and has since grown to a few hundred active users, as well.

“It’s really a testament to the power of open source,” says Cselle.

Not the other commenter:

I usually have an idea about the thing I'm asking, and if not then I'll look up the topics mentioned after some guided brainstorming

I've also found that asking the same question again, after resetting the chat, can give you an idea of what is happening

You could post it to [email protected], but please tag it as NSFW and keep the discussion focussed on the medical aspect of the procedure (it sounds like that was the intent).

This is a community for medical professionals. Please see the Medical Community Hub for other communities.

Official Lemmy community for /r/Medicine.

Also note that it's only recently become the parallel community for r/Medicine, and there may be people subscribed who aren't medical professionals and may not appreciate it (they may downvote it).

If you do find more medical communities then please share. I'd like to add them to the post on the Medical Community Hub

I think so!

I was trying keyboards a while ago, and one of them could be summoned using the volume keys (or something similar).

You could look into keyboard apps designed for games

I don't think that's what's happening?

I'm going to actively avoid people doing so, and I feel like others will as well.

If someone walks up to you and they're filming you on their phone, how would most people react?

This is the first thing that came to mind. I used to get them at the dentist as a kid

Didn't realize how cheap they were, maybe I'll get more...

Seems like people are going off the headline only, so here are some more details. While the results are predictable, it's still worth exploring for how bad it is

The results? On TikTok, about a third of the content we watched were ads — but it didn't always feel that way.

TikTok didn't respond to a request for data on how frequently ads supposed are to on the bak site and how these ads are dispersed on the For You Page (FYP). However, a TikTok spokesperson told Insider ads supposed are to represent a small portion of the content people should see on their FYP.

This sounds like it's going to further erode people's trust in the health systems and the advice of doctors.
