I posted the following: "I am trying to make a shower gel that has a scent but is not toxic to either humans or aquatic life. And I have a hard time finding anything for the latter. Essential oils and derivatives? Nope. Synthetic ones? Nothing. I could go the unscented route, but it’s going to be hard to sell. So, considering that most of you are better informed about this topic, is there a specific ingredient that I can use for a rose fragrance that’s truly non toxic? Thanks "

On fragrange, zerowaste and sustainability. The post got deleted by mods in a manner of minutes. What the hell is going on there? I am going to stay here for much longer since that place is turning very weird. Also, can anyone here actually help me find a fragrance ingredient that won't kill aquatic life when poured down the drain? Thank you in advance

Aleppo soap? It's made of olive oil and lye. As simple as it gets. Probably not good for aquatic life but better than most I would belive. It's got a distinctive scent, at first I didn't like it but it grows in you. Done wonders for my hair and skin.

Just use some slightly dirty sea water. It will smell like you were just at the beach. You can call it "the beach".

i got shadowbanned recently, just from a simple comment removal from a mod. but the reddit-wide filters immediately banned people, if thier posts gets removed.

More commonplace than you think.

I feel like it's always been like that. Did the mods give you a reason for removing your post?

[–] SamB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

No. I just got the removed by mods message.

Would a drop of Bulgarian rose oil not work?

EDIT: By this I mean the legitimate stuff made by hand in the countryside, not the chemically extracted stuff. It is extremely strong.

[–] SamB@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I am very fond of the Bulgarian oil. I actually have a rose garden filled with damask roses myself. But it seems that if poured in water it can damage the plants and fishes.. I wasn’t even aware of it until very recently.

To me it was the toxicity. I posted a meme about "look how they massacred my boy" and the old and new DonkeyKong designs and got downvoted and mean comments. The site went to shit after the API-price increase and the only reason I’m still on there is that my hobbies aren’t on lemmy yet.

If have I had to guess... a combination of well meaning rules built up over time that no one actually thought out, chronically online weirdos corrupted by the little bit of power afforded by moderating (which seems common in online communities) and cabals of state actors who moderate multiple subreddits in order to control and direct the narrative.

On the other hand, with how popular reddit has become and with how many bots are out there, it might be worse without the rules.

Great questions, but Lemmy is the exact same problem: anonymous accounts

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago
