I've noticed a significant change in my Facebook feed recently. It's almost all content creator content now, which I'm taking as a sign that my network is no longer posting there.

I'm not sure you need to melt it for the PFAS to leech out. There was a study recently about smart watch bands and they found that the PFAS exposure from wearing them was way above safe limits and they weren't being heated to 327C.
Admittedly frypan coatings and watch bands are not the same materials, but still...
We've had a couple of reports about this post, but I'm going to let it slide for the moment because the discussion seems mostly respectful. Let's keep it polite though please.
I like the one when he had a single ass hair transplanted on to the top of his head.
As you have worded it, I would be fine with that question provided they were respectful, and weren't obviously sealioning or astroturfing. It would be thought/discussion provoking, open ended, and they might just end up reevaluating their beliefs as a consequence.
The comments might get spicy, but that's what mods are for.
Chonki boi!
Don't need 'em. Got spiders and snakes.
Support question. Locking.

I love this word. TIL it.
Can't see the comment. "Server Error".
TLDR;
- LW policy perspective --> I agree on balance
- LW enforcing it on all LW communities --> I disagree as it is not necessary, but it's their instance, so....
- Fediverse strength --> Move your community to another instance. I'll susbscribe if you do.
I can see both sides.
On the one hand, history is replete with popular opinions that were later shown to be incorrect. One of the reasons I chose to move to Lemmy was the inherent resistance of the fediverse to the enforcement of a particular narrative, and the inherent potential for respectful discussion and debate. As long as people remain respectful, my inclination is to leave up content that I disagree with. Please note, it has to be respectful, not merely polite.
On the other hand, there's no shortage of evidence that deliberate misinformation remains a threat in online communities. This is why we implemented no astroturfing and no sealioning rules in the larger community I help mod.
Holding these two competing thoughts, I think that points of view that run (edit: contrary) to the current scientific understanding should not be removed provided that the quantity is limited, it's respectful and it's not-harmful. But that's just my perspective, and how we handle it in the communities I mod. The beauty of the fediverse is that I also have no problems with someone setting up a competing community that takes a much less tolerant perspective and has a rule that participation is conditional on agreement to certain perspectives.

A fair proportion of the suffering in the world can be laid at the feet of binary thinking.
