WASHINGTON (AP) — New options for testing and treating some of the most common sexually transmitted diseases are becoming available, a trend that experts hope will keep downward pressure on U.S. infection rates.
Last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first at-home test that can detect three common infections in women — gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis — as well as the first home-based kit for the virus that causes cervical cancer.
The agency ended the year by approving two different drugs for gonorrhea, the first new options for the disease in decades.
I dislike lemmy.ml too, but I your bot-like reposting of their content serves mainly to further their reach. I don’t think you’re making things better.
Moreover, your posts are so fast and frequent that they dominate at least some of communities that you target, often leaving local members without a chance to post about the relevant topics on their own. Having watched it happen for more than a few weeks, I have concluded that your posts are mostly annoying, and probably do more harm than good.
I don’t expect to convince you to stop, but would you at least consider delaying your reposts by a day, and then proceeding only if nobody in a community you target has already posted about the topic?
When I started this campaign months ago I had to go back 8-10 pages of the local .ml feed each morning for crossposting. Today, it’s down to 1.5-2 pages and the bulk of that is from like 2 hardcore Tankie/.ml users (yogthos and Geneva) so I’d say it’s been more helpful than bad
Can you give me some examples? A lot of the comms I post to I’m like the only one posting to. But there are some larger comms I feel like get a heavy hand of it, but bigger comms also have 2 or 3 alternatives across different instances
So maybe a better solution would be to just divvy it up amongst similar comms better?
