At least I managed to present myself in the way intended successfully, skeptical but polite/interested.
I did eventually feel weird voting at all without saying something, so I very rarely do any more. It’s still a very interesting subject, I just don’t have anything useful to say that I haven’t already said in one way or another. Pretty much the same as on vegan, vegetarian, or keto communities tbh. I see them all as valid choices for individuals. So as long as there’s nothing that’s outright false, the most I can do is chime in with existing best practices, and it isn’t like people looking for a specialized diet haven’t seen that information.
I’m happy for you to ask questions, even questions people would already have seen elsewhere. The conversation is good for everyone.
Plus a question about carnivore, being a subset of keto, gets to birds with one stone!
I really like to dig into the science, what is well researched, what can be demonstrated. Heck, I even spent a bunch of time figuring out why the Rice/Potato/McDougall diet works (its inhibition of the Randell cycle (not a cycle)).
I’ve seen your interactions in that community as skeptical but polite. You never attacked a user, or insulted anyone. You contributed occasionally.
Would I have preferred your downvotes also have a question/comment with your concerns? Sure
My guiding metric is to make a safe space where others feel comfortable participating in - and your interactions were inline with that.
