I’d highly recommend more open interaction with the forum
I don’t speak for everyone, but usually you’ll get the best from us in a collective format, (insert borg joke)
Rather than everything being 1 on 1 direct messages
Most here know a good chunk about various aspects, but we are all mostly lacking a piece here or there… the “collective” usually is pretty good about making sure all pieces are covered and taken care of
Gives us all a good chance to correct things
All that being said,
Here’s a few points of concern off the top of my head we have run into ALREADY
Don’t be click bait, it’s fun and cool and crazy topic…
But don’t turn it into a super cheap clickbait thing… that’s the worst… be better than that
Don’t over sell things -
if you are going to talk about payment implants, don’t make it out like all of them are capable… in fact it’s pretty hard and very particular, a few articles have noted that we have managed to get it to work… and then made it out like this super simple thing anyone can do with any implant…. Very frustrating
If you want to use the awesome X-ray images, make sure you label them correctly, don’t call a standard glass capsule, the apex and vice versa
If you are going to talk about “tracking” and privacy concerns… don’t have us explain to you in extreme detail why it’s not a thing, and then just imply that other “rando” “*experts” are concerned
We understand that concept of needing to show both sides, but if one side has experience and is actively involved, and understands something’s limitations, and then you balance that with some joe blow who doesn’t it’s very insulting
If you are going to talk about tracking “concerns” then you need to be specific about it and why the person concerned knows something we don’t
Don’t make us out to be wild and careless and taking wild health risks… one of the reasons this forum and group has flourished, is the time and effort @amal and the community has taken to make things as safe as possible
Are we a little crazy? Sure…
But the actual procedure / device is often less risky or involved that a ear piercing
I’m sure others will have useful advice if interested
