Due to recent events and the discussion in the Amendments to the Code of Conduct post we are suspending provisional amendments to the Code of Conduct in specific regard to federation. As we continue to find our footing we may discuss this again.
The rule change in !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net prohibiting named posts of Admins and Moderators as well as direct links posts will remain for now.
Despite the suspension of the amendments, I encourage everyone to treat other others with good-faith unless they show otherwise, show considerable restraint in instance's meta posts, and abide by meta community post's requests to center discussion on local users.
Reminder that you must follow Hexbear and federated instances codes of conduct and posted sidebar rules for communities.
You may use this post to discuss further if you wish to
Do you have any brief advice on how to avoid one such injury?
I think what I was doing wrong was not keeping my feet aligned with my knees. The rowing action can put weird pressure on your knees and in my experience this led to certain movements like climbing down stairs being very painful. I handled it in the worst imaginable way really never saw a doctor but realized the rowing was probably the issue and after I changed to exercising on an elliptical it eventually got better. Talked with an actual sports instructor about it years later and she thought this was probably what I was doing.
