How about a basic Squarespace business website?
I looked at a bunch of options before and Wordpress seemed like one of the most promising: https://lemmy.world/post/12989654

Thanks! Yes, I did find that interesting. I believe personality disorders stem from the gut microbiome. Here’s an example of someone curing theirs with FMT:

I got an intelligent response via PM:
I’ve decided to DM you because you’re already getting downvoted to hell because people don’t like eugenics. I’d like to be able to have a real conversation and speak my mind without getting dogpiled.
I’d first like to applaud you for seeing the problems of our society as an issue of allowing the wrong people to have power, rather than not being convincing enough with our words to change the minds of those who hold power. Most people completely fail to recognize that.
Some smart people may be corrupt or sociopathic, so this test should be a full psychological evaluation.
I find it really interesting how you describe a person as being corrupt, as if it is a property of their being, rather than a result of circumstance or just some poor choices that they made.
There is a movement that you may or may not have heard of right now that is highly relevant. It is sometimes called the ‘narcissism awareness’ movement. It sprang out of the #meetoo movement when some psychologists recognized that the abusive behaviors that women were complaining about corresponded exactly to those behaviors associated with cluster B personality disorders. One of the things that we are starting to realize, as a result of this movement and also as a result of of the recent (last 5-7 years or so) research on cluster B disorders, is just how common this type of personality disorder actually is. (My current estimate is that it is somewhere in the ballpark of 60-70% of the population in the US, and probably we only see a variance of about 20% on top of that from country to country).
I say this, because I think that the pandemic of personality disorder is actually the root cause of pretty much everything that is going wrong with the world today, and probably is the primary driver of all strife that has ever existed within the context of civilization. They also cause harm to everyone around them through psychological abuse, and they cannot be effectively treated or cured.
I would refer you to the excellent Dr. Ramani Durvasula for general information on the topic. She has books too, if you’re interested, but they have basically the same info as can be found on her youtube channel.
The focus of most psychologists talking about this issue is in interpersonal relationships, and helping abuse survivors heal from the trauma. Unfortunately, I do not currently know of anyone speaking more broadly about the impact of personality disorder on an organizational or societal scale. I have been constructing my own models based on my own collection of information, combining math, (neuro-)psychology, and anthropology, but I have thus far been unable to write up anything comprehensive on the topic.
There are many more things that I could say, but I will leave it at this for now. If you found this interesting or have any questions, please send a reply!
There have been efforts to change the “fecal” part of the wording, but it’s largely been unsuccessful. I personally don’t think it’s the biggest problem to focus on. I’d rather try to educate people that healthy poop is not repugnant. They think it’s gross because their own poop is unhealthy.
There’s a reason sites like Reddit sprang up and grew huge despite forums having already existed.
Yeah, but it comes with many major downsides that have become more apparent in recent years. For example, even lemmy seems to get hit hard by astroturfing, misinformation, disinformation, and toxicity. That’s more rare and easier to prevent on forums I think.
It’ll expose more people to the topic though.
Yeah, I was considering using lemmy instead of creating a forum, but decided on the latter after weighing the pros and cons.
I’m doubtful that creating a lemmy community would funnel people to the forum. There is a lot to like about the forum format over time-based ones like lemmy. And the lemmy software is much newer and more incomplete/deficient than Xenforo. I think creating a lemmy community might just lead to fracturing of content/discussions, which would be detrimental. Also, unless you host your own instance it’s not super reliable (as we’ve seen with reddit and other reddit-alternatives).
I’m trying to make you realize that it you keep speaking of it as if it is, with only a single biased source, while not admitting the limitations, hurts such a cause greatly.
I think there may be a misunderstanding there. I certainly recognize that FMT and the gut microbiome have limitations.
There is statistically significant evidence that there’s a lot of potential here, but there is yet to be solid evidence that this actually treats most conditions.
That’s all I’ve said as well.
Anyway, you seem to think that FMT’s potential to treat/prevent most types of cancer is something that should be emphasized more. If you have specific suggestions I’m happy to hear them.
Speaking of, it also wouldn’t help anyone with an organ transplant either.
FMT may negate the need for most organ transplants. Eg:
Etc.
There is evidence that it would immensely help with preventing nearly all human-cell borne cancers however, and in my opinion, THAT’S something your messaging should focus strongly on.
Human Microbes doesn’t do any specific messaging/advertising. Just the website where it covers the gut microbiome regulating the entire body and playing a major role in virtually every aspect of health & development. I would think that narrowing the focus to one type of cancer for example would be detrimental.
you’re touting this as a cure all, when really it’s a mass preventative (which again, is still extremely important and something really big).
I think the potential for both prevention and treatment exists for most conditions that are currently beyond medical capabilities. And there is a ton of evidence for this in the wiki I shared. Sure, there are some things that FMT won’t be a solution to of course.
There are at least as many spam/bot signups as there are humans, so account approval negates that completely. Forums aren’t time-based like lemmy and reddit, so there is no sense of urgency. Discussions can take place over months/years. It’s possible to turn on the ability to make a post prior to registering, then when your registration is finalized it gets posted, but I’m not sure how dependable that is. I wouldn’t want people losing content they tried to post due to some cache issue.
I haven’t bothered creating anything on Lemmy. I’ve been urging the Xenforo software developers to join the fediverse. Discourse forum software is doing it, so we may soon see discourse forums show up on lemmy.
y’all need some campaign and ad managers
As the blog notes, there is no funding for that.
I don’t see anything wrong with Zelle, and multiple payment options are offered.
I’d be glad to help how I can
That would be great! There are various discussions on the microbiome forum:
I’d automatically assume it’s a scam, spam, or both.
Why?
The email linked to the blog. The question was asked at the end of the blog.
Even if a panacea type microbiome WAS discord, it won’t cure everything. Cancer is one immediate example.

It already would be impossible for it to prevent many diseases. Viruses for example that enter through the sinuses, or again, cancers caused by viruses. Heck even then something like norovirus would still wreck you too.
This is not correct. Not everyone gets sick from x virus. The primary reason is differences in their immune system and gut microbiome. Some relevant links for you:
This sounds more like someone who knows some knowledge but isn’t an actual expert in it
No offense, but that describes your comment. The blog should absolutely not sound like that given that it provides citations for its claims.
Not to mention it’s a big ask to strangers who probably don’t even know what a microbiome is.
The 1.2 million people who were sent the email & blog are people who are already familiar with the humanmicrobes.org project. Many of them hold advanced medical & biology degrees.
I agree though that many people are still not familiar with the gut microbiome and FMT. Do you have any suggestion in this regard?
Yes, FMT is super experiemental. The point of the blog/website is not to convince people to buy poop, it’s to find ideal stool donors who may be able to cure a variety of diseases.
Maybe FMT is a good idea, but it’s still too unknown for me to accept it.
It can’t become “more known” unless a highly effective donor can be found. And such a donor can’t be found unless people start helping…
I don’t think FMT is appropriate to regulate as a supplement. The ingredients of supplements are known and standardized. FMT is an extremely complex and dynamic ecosystem. Yogurt is a handful of known microbes in a highly controlled environment. FMT vs yogurt is like the universe vs a zoo.
Dr. Alexander Khoruts (University of Minnesota GI, Director, UMN Microbiota Therapeutics Program) made a similar comment. https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/designer-hit-panel-discussion-achieving-cures-together-dec-2023-peter.216/
He asks an FDA adviser “Does the FDA care more about profits or people?”, and the response he gets is “one of the missions of the FDA is to protect the interests of commercial developers”. Another question to the advisor: “How much influence does the industry have over the FDA decisions?”, A: “A lot”.
Here’s an example of virtually no one out of 1.2 million people caring whatsoever: https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/high-quality-stool-donors-are-more-rare-than-one-in-a-million-ai-fundi.304/post-760
This is the kind of thing that for me invalidates all those pro-natalism “large population = more chances that one person’s going to do something great” arguments. 8 billion people and a single disabled person is left to do it on their own. Especially when it’s something like this where anyone/everyone can do something to help, and 99.99999% of people just simply can’t be bothered.
Be sure to actually read the blog. I made a post about this in another community and one person completely ignored the blog and used deceptive tobacco and oil industry tactics to spread FUD and disinformation. But people who actually read the blog should be immune to that.
For example, here is the reaction of a normal and knowledgeable person who actually read the blogs: https://twitter.com/chydorina/status/1767995009771647375
Doesn’t that mean that docker containers use up much more resources since you’re installing numerous instances & versions of each program like mumble and leftpad?
Doesn’t that mean that docker containers use up much more resources since you’re installing numerous instances & versions of each program like PHP?
It seems like docker would be heavy on resources since it installs & runs everything (mysql, nginx, etc.) numerous times (once for each container), instead of once globally. Is that wrong?
Instead of setting up one nginx for multiple sites you run one nginx per site and have the settings for that as part of the site repository.
Doesn’t that require a lot of resources since you’re running (mysql, nginx, etc.) numerous times (once for each container), instead of once globally?
Or, per your comment below:
Since the base image is static, and config is per container, one image can be used to run multiple containers. So if you have a postgres image, you can run many containers on that image. And specify different config for each instance.
You’d only have two instances of postgres, for example, one for all docker containers and one global/server-wide? Still, that doubles the resources used no?
When I researched and tested some, I found the Presonus Eris E3.5 to be the best bang for the buck. The other close one was Mackie CR3, but the Presonus is better.
