Methodology

Last updated May 17, 2026

Core principle

We do not judge people or communities.Sasha describes what is publicly visible, explains how each profile was built, and calls out safety issues only when there is documented direct physical harm. Alternative medicine, supplements, and unconventional approaches are described — not warned against.

How Sasha finds communities

We search public platforms and open web sources for communities people actually use, then cluster results by condition, platform, tone, and topic. The goal is coverage that reflects real search behavior — not a curated list of favorites.Sasha does not access private groups, closed conversations, or paid membership areas without an explicit public preview.

How we vet and score them

Each profile is built from publicly available signals: activity level, moderation quality, community tone, topical focus, and visible safety warnings. Medical alignment is treated as a descriptive data point, not a verdict.When evidence is thin, Sasha shows that uncertainty instead of guessing. If a field cannot be supported, the profile says so.

Data sources and refresh cadence

Profiles are refreshed weekly. We re-check sources when new information appears, when the community changes visibly, or when a result needs a manual correction.Result pages show a last-updated date so readers can see how fresh the profile is before they act on it.

Editorial review process

The editorial goal is clarity, not persuasion. We edit for factual accuracy, remove hype, and keep the language observational. We do not write treatment advice or diagnose conditions.Safety warnings are reserved for documented direct physical harm — such as ingestion of dangerous substances or advice that substitutes a community for urgent care. Alternative medicine, supplements, and dietary interventions do not trigger a warning.

Disclaimer and credentials

Sasha is not medical advice. Use profiles as a starting point for discovery, then make your own judgment or talk to a clinician when health decisions are involved.We do not claim clinical credentials we do not have. If named reviewer credentials are added later, they will be shown on the page that carries that review.
