They only had their comments removed for “being rude”. They did not get banned.
Studies are being done to look for treatment and prevention of various issues historically treated with primarely weight loss. This research is finding positive results, and for some things like prediabetes it can be treated even while the person is gaining more weight. This is extremely imlortant research, because weight loss is not something everyone can and wants to do.
A comment attacked the research as useless as “the fatties” should just lose weight. After I responded with the importance for everyone of any size for this type of research being done, death in horrible and gruesome ways was wished on me and all other fat people and was even extremely proud of it too doubling down after being called out.
Outside of this one case, talking about body positivity and body liberation here on Lemmy feels like a minefield that will blow off any moment at any time. Either due to some crazy dude just attacking me or someone arguing it is all invalid because they don’t agree me and people in general can also not feel miserable in their bodies.










Thanks. Best of luck to you too!
