Ah. I understand. I think I got more caught up in the Amazon part than the biometrics. They seem to be increasingly intrusive.

I don’t believe that credit card companies can see individual itemized groceries. Please correct me if I am wrong. I was thinking that Amazon having information as a direct connection to your food purchases (and general nutritional value thereof) would give more details into nutritional habits that could be linked to medical issues. Ex: products with a lot of sugar for diabetics, products high in sodium for persons with high blood pressure or heart failure, etc. With the more detailed information to be potentially shared with third parties, if it was a health insurance company, I am sure they would gladly use that information not to pay for certain medical treatments that they would usually cover using non-compliance to diet as an excuse.
Also “they don’t pay me enough to give a shit about how it’s cut”.
Biometric data and food shopping habits. Share this to health insurance companies and they will come up with reasons why not to pay for certain health conditions. That’s my guess. Dangerous territory.
Lol no worries, friend. I assumed it was a staged photo for the article. Still thought it was amusing. :)
He still parks like a jackass
Right now mod tools are minimal. Appoint and remove mods, ban user, remove/restore post functions. Depending on the size of your community you might want other mods to help, preferably in another time zone. Whenever a user reports a post, you will see a flag to address it. Not sure about the status of mods tools in apps atm, so I check multiple times a day through the original instance website. That’s about all I can help you with. Goodluck!
I see you from toast.ooo
Might want to ask at https://lemmy.world/c/health
If not, you can create one.
I see it just fine when I clicked your link. I am guessing it has to do with the growth/user load of Lemmy.world. Hopefully the instance mods will be able to sort it out. For shits and giggles, create an account on a smaller instance and then visit it from there. I have a few accounts spread out amongst instances (started exploring the fediverse a few weeks ago to see how things work). I have been having trouble on my lemmy.workd account last few days, so I have played around on the other ones and don’t have as rough of a time accessing and posting. Will eventually go back to the lemmy.world account when things improve. Just a matter of time.
Someone from the instance you are logged into must sub first. Until a singular user from a instance subs, you won’t see it auto populate. If you want to be the one to initiate it, login on the instance you want to see the sub using your web browser and use the search function. You may have to search by !community@instance. Sometimes there is a delay in the search, so give it a few seconds.
Strange New Worlds, Prodigy, and Lower Decks are my favorites.
The others aren’t bad, just unique in their own way.
Sync is another one that filters based on words
