I posted the following: "I am trying to make a shower gel that has a scent but is not toxic to either humans or aquatic life. And I have a hard time finding anything for the latter. Essential oils and derivatives? Nope. Synthetic ones? Nothing. I could go the unscented route, but it’s going to be hard to sell. So, considering that most of you are better informed about this topic, is there a specific ingredient that I can use for a rose fragrance that’s truly non toxic? Thanks "
On fragrange, zerowaste and sustainability. The post got deleted by mods in a manner of minutes. What the hell is going on there? I am going to stay here for much longer since that place is turning very weird. Also, can anyone here actually help me find a fragrance ingredient that won’t kill aquatic life when poured down the drain? Thank you in advance
Sadly any substances related to showering are percieved as dangerous by the stereotypical reddit mod. :D
This is the best comment I read all year. Thank you for the laughs.
Hi-ooooo!
Oof even all the way on Reddit they had to have felt that burn lmao
Watch out. They might send an bitcoin assassin after you. One who could run you over with a mobility scooter or stab you with an insulin pen.
It’s all just bots masturbating other bots over there.
30 years ago I expected this, but thought it was going to be sexier.
The future fucking blows.
The future fucking blows.
Based on your comment that’s exactly what it’s not doing lol
Loving the reddit hate train here but to answer your question, there doesn’t appear to be any non aqua toxic rose fragrances. Even rose water can be aqua toxic. This is due to the fact that geraniol (the compound primarily responsible for a roses’ scent) is acutely toxic to aquatic life. Have you considered other light, floral scents OP?
Given the trend of recent posts in here. I’m going to guess that the word “toxic” triggered the automod.
I actually think you may be onto something.

/r/soapmaking might have some advice. There is a lemmy equivalent !soapmaking@sh.itjust.works but it doesn’t look very active.
The post got deleted by mods in a manner of minutes.
I’ve always struggled with Reddit’s arcane rules. I rarely know why my stuff is deleted. shrugs I don’t really post there anymore, just lurk.
Probably worth sharing it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
We left Reddit because of the drama. Dont bring it over here. Instead, just place your question on lemmy
Just fyi, most people came here to get rid of reddit. There are a few communities that revolve around reddit for those with nostalgia. Might be the best plae to ask as much as this community is about asking questions.

In general, Reddit has made the move that all big name old social media have made (except maybe like Snapchat? I can’t think of any other exceptions) and kowtowed to corporate advertiser money, rightwing misinformation and bigotry, and the egos of oligarchs such as Elon Musk. This is essentially done to make the fat cats in the corporation richer.
I was able to find your deleted Reddit post [EDIT: understanding now that you were referring to posts across multiple subs]. My best good faith guess [for r/frangrance] is that the mods may have considered it to be within the scope of the “No medical advice or health questions” sub rule? Navigating to even find the sub rules was difficult since the mods have attached them via a link that immediately redirects to an account sign-up page. My workaround to even read the rules was to copy the link and change the “www” to “old” and it worked.
[EDIT, continued: For r/zerowaste, the only good faith issue I can see — and it’s a stretch — is the verb tense of “[Crafting] Posts must be something that you have made yourself.” Since you haven’t yet made the fragrance in full, maybe they don’t allow WIPs or for others to help with WIPs?
I don’t see anything with r/sustainability’s rules that would apply. They do have a “No Surveys” rule but there are other posts that do solicit input and advice, so that apparently doesn’t apply to your post.]
You might find Lemmings who are happy to help with your fragrance situation on any of these communities:

I suppose this could be the case , although a strange decision to limit the discussion only on the smell aspect. You should be able to talk about ingredients. Anyway, like I said, il stick around here more. Thank you for the links, I will definitely check them out.
Reddit is owned and operated by assholes. Don’t even try to use it.
I still use Apollo, so nobody gets a dime from me anyway.
If you’re engaging with the content you are contributing to it
Yeah, there’s the whole ai thing. I don’t know, I got the (clearly wrong) idea that a dedicated sub may have dedicated specialists…
If you’re posting from a third party reddit app, that might be the problem.
Can they even see that I am not using the official app?
Yes. There are hooks that show what APIs and apps the data uses as a pathway. My guess is that the mods have nothing to do with the content being removed. It is the upload verification process. I’m not going to recommend going back but posting from a browser will verify whether this is the problem.

Uh oh… You showed empathy to animal life.
Deleted for being Woke!
Yup, just get the hell off Reddit. And Twitter. Both of those cess pools.
I deleted my Reddit account of, was it 11 years? More? Anyway, sometimes I miss being able to comment there whenever I come across someone kind, or some idiot. But then I think, boy, morally, I feel better not partaking. Lemmy is the future for now. I’ll abstain from the cancer.
X is where people I want to follow post unfortunately. If they posted on mastodon, I would use that more. As it stands, a lot of people and creators I want to keep up with are only on a few select platforms at the moment. Maybe that’ll change in time but I doubt anytime soon. Same situation with YouTube, I’d like to stop using that too but it’s the only place to find certain things (small example: individual magicians who sometimes perform on Penn & Teller also post their own videos on YT only.)
Understandable.
You go where you need to go sometimes. I don’t follow anyone on Reddit or Twitter that I can’t abstain from or get similar content. I guess I’m lucky.
This is one small example, but I get notifications on developer livestreams for new models and new API updates and feature releases. The OpenAI sub itself is not only too many hours late in publishing any of them, but it’s also only a fraction of the updates coming directly from the company itself. This extends to many other orgs and people I follow.
I’m a developer so I like to have quick access to new info to many frameworks and languages (and other lead devs that post updates.)
When people post on X I complete lose the urge to follow them. If you support X you’re complicit.
That’s wild, I would not be able to keep up with trends in the industry I work in as much if I isolated myself from everyone. But happy it works for you.
Just look at the subscriber count of those subreddits. Try to moderate that.

Seriously, things have gotten so bad there , the website is unrecognizable from years ago… I am sorry you didn’t have the platform to vent when needed. Hopefully here it will be better.
Reddit is being moderated by an AI now
