  • Very skeptical of that one.
    They’ve been trying to target amyloid for more than a decade, and it’s the first time I hear of it actually working.

    The treatment seem to have huge side effects (brain bleeding and swelling) and lead to patient death during the study.
    Elly Lilly is also know for marketing zyprexa as a treatment for dementia (despite inefficacy and increased risk of death). Which is IMO criminal, at best unethical. I’m not inclined to trust them at all.

    I hope I’m wrong and it works. Alzheimer is a terrible way to go.














  • I use it from time to time. The tech is getting better.
    But it’s very hard to find anything interesting on it.
    They REALLY need to focus on implementing content filter and discovery tools.
    Right now it’s a lot noise and reposted videos. The search function doesn’t work at all.

    I think the platform could be viable with a decent, verbatim search function; a tag-based browsing system, and the ability to visualize the federated instances and browse any of them as local.

    It’s still possible to find interesting videos by browsing an instance focused on a specific interested as local.
