Declarations
:
: The ethics of this study was approved by the IRB at Purdue University and Embry-Riddle as an exempt study.
: Data collected for this publication are Reddit users, who are anonymous and can only be identified by their chosen username. Within this particular subreddit, the data is already de-identified. In r/EatingDisorders (the subreddit we are examining), the Redditor who writes the query sends it first to the moderators. The moderators then remove the identity of the fighting individual when they repost the query to the subreddit. Furthermore, no individual moderator posts the content either - it is all published under a centralized moderator account (u/EDPostRequests). Thus, the authors of this study did not obtain or acquire any identifying data.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
