At-home STD tests offer new options for screening and treatment
-
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 didn’t just link to Lemmy.ml, plus, you’re the one crossposting content from ML in the first place.

::: spoiler Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. :::

No need for your copypasta, I’ll continue to provide links to crossposted discussions since you can’t seem to do it for others.

You were exploitly told the apps where users weren’t seeing it before and chalked it up to an “image linking issue”, so I’m just helping other users avoid that in the future!

No I wasn’t lmao tell me the front end or app that doesn’t show the crosspost menu, should be easy since you’re so sure

It has to do with the proxying URLs on images [A rare instance related issue]
On the clients that were mentioned:
Here’s Thunder
Here’s the dbzer0 web interface
All with proper crossposting menus, anything else you’d like to misrepresent or lie about?

It’s like that’s almost exactly what I mentioned you said, and exactly why I’m commenting proper links to older posts! It fixes the proxying issue you mention to include it in the post, so I’m happy I can be of assistance.

That’s great! Then you should be able to just keep it to the rare image-only post that it actually happens on and not articles

Nope, just in case of proxying issues or crosspost linking issues due to broken federation, I’ll keep it to all posts

Not sure why you’d want to forward traffic to an instance who has admins that are transphobic and push Russian propaganda but you do you, I can’t stop you

Yes, how horrible of me to warn you of someone who is transphobic.
Well this is what Nutomic, second head Lemmy dev and .ml admin has to say about the LGBTQ+ movement [Transphobia CW] https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

You didn’t intend to warn me, you basically said I was supporting it by posting a link in the comments (which I wouldn’t have had to do if you didn’t just immediately crosspost form ML).
I don’t care what transphobes have to say, I’ve heard it all before, nice of you to link transphobic content to me. At least I don’t crosspost content from the land of transphobes, though! You enjoying having your feed be filled with ML content even though you claim to boycott them?
