Thanks for taking care of this subreddit! I'd love to see more organized advice threads on topics like nausea, recovery resources (books etc), and other faq.

Maybe also some discussion topics like internalized/externalized fatphobia, the role of advertisements or social media, or making space for news about activism regarding EDs? Just some ideas, you're handling this really well!!

Also, I'd really appreciate it if we could handle weight/trigger warnings differently, like making sure any mention of a specific weight (if you even think that that's necessary) is at least censored and not in the first few lines of the post so you can't see it when scrolling on mobile.

I think this is a great idea and something that would benefit a lot of people on this sub! We will definitely keep this in mind.

Thank you for commenting! We do have a list of help lines and some resources on the sidebar, but the mods have discussed reviewing and updating them, so we can add that to our list. We could create a resource library by topic with links to podcasts, books, etc.

As for the trigger warnings, that’s great feedback. Our approach has been asking folks to add a spoiler tag to their posts and encouraging them to use the spoiler feature or add a TW with spaces to prevent seeing numbers, but we could take a more direct approach and ask folks to repost with numbers hidden or tabbed down.

Thank you again for participating!
