Keeping LDN Support Groups Safe on Facebook: LDN SUPPORT GROUP Playbook
Keeping Our Community Safe & Thriving
A Comprehensive Strategy Guide for Content Compliance, Moderation & Platform Resilience
Prepared by Dr. Yoon-Hang Kim
February 2026
Executive Summary
The LDN Support Group is one of the oldest and most established Low Dose Naltrexone communities on Facebook with over 8,000 members. This playbook outlines the comprehensive strategy for keeping the group safe, compliant, and resilient across three pillars: Content Compliance, Tiered Moderation, and Platform Diversification.
Pillar 1: Content Compliance
Content compliance is the daily defense that protects the group from Facebook enforcement actions. The foundation is a bright-line rule that is deliberately more conservative than what Facebook technically requires.
1.1 The Bright-Line Rule
This blanket prohibition eliminates ambiguity for members, makes moderation faster and more consistent, removes the highest-risk content category entirely, and protects members from potentially unreliable sources.
1.2 Safe Language Guidelines
All content should be framed as personal experience rather than medical advice. The following table shows specific language swaps:
1.3 Words to Avoid vs. Safer Alternatives
These word lists serve as quick references for members and moderators:
1.4 Required Disclaimers
When sharing health information, include appropriate disclaimers such as:
- "This is not medical advice; please consult your healthcare provider"
- "Individual results may vary"
- "Based on my personal experience"
- "Research is ongoing and results are preliminary"
1.5 Algorithmic Red Flags
Facebook’s automated systems flag content based on patterns, not context. Avoid these triggers:
- Cure/heal language: "cure," "heal," "reverse," "miracle" in relation to diseases
- Condition-specific claims: Directly connecting treatments to specific medical conditions
- Anti-establishment framing: "What doctors don’t want you to know" type language
- Health claim + link: Making health claims with commercial links
- Supplement sales language: Words commonly used in supplement marketing
1.6 Pre-Posting Checklist
- Is this framed as personal experience rather than medical advice?
- Am I avoiding words like "cure," "heal," "reverse," or "miracle"?
- Am I NOT trying to buy, sell, or trade medications?
- Is my source credible and not previously flagged?
- Have I included an appropriate disclaimer?
- Am I encouraging consultation with healthcare providers?
- Is this NOT spam or promotional content?
- Does pharmacy/sourcing discussion belong on Skool instead?
Pillar 2: Tiered Moderation
Active moderation protects the group in real time. The tiered system ensures consistent, proportionate responses to violations while educating well-intentioned members and removing bad actors.
2.1 Tier 1: Immediate Remove + Ban
2.2 Tier 2: Remove + Warning + Close Comments
2.3 Tier 3: Educate + Post Approval
2.4 Tier 4: Facebook AI-Flagged Content
2.5 Response Templates
Higher Threat Level - remove comment and ban individual
Lower Threat Level
Turn comment off - with reason why comment is turned off
Turn post approval on for the individual
2.6 Admin Assist & Automated Filters
Configure Facebook’s Admin Assist to auto-catch high-risk content:
- Keyword Alerts: Set alerts for cure, heal, miracle, buy, sell, pharmacy, order, shipped, coupon, telehealth, in stock
- Auto-Decline: Auto-decline posts containing pharmacy links or buy/sell language
- Post Approval: Enable for new members; consider enabling for all members during high-risk periods
- Membership Questions: Decline with feedback new members without a bona-fide name (i.e. pasta pasta) - offer skool.com/LDNSupportGroup a sister site.

Pillar 3: Platform Diversification
No single platform should be a single point of failure. The multi-platform strategy ensures community continuity regardless of what happens on Facebook.
3.1 Platform Ecosystem
3.2 Skool: Our Sister Site www.skool.com/LDNSupportGroup
3.3 Live Streams — Now on www.skool.com/LDNSupportGroup
Dr. Kim’s live Q&A sessions have moved from Facebook to Skool. This strategic shift provides several advantages:
- Greater freedom: Topics like pharmacy sourcing, specific dosing, and provider discussions can be covered openly
- Reduced risk: Live streams were the highest-risk activity on Facebook due to spontaneous speech and real-time comments
Current Schedule as of Feb 20, 2026:
- Friday 6:30 PM CST (Saturday 11:30 AM Sydney AEDT)
- Saturday 10:30 AM CST (Saturday 4:30 PM GMT)
- All sessions hosted on skool.com/ldnsupportgroup
3.4 Email List — The Unbreakable Channel
The email list collected via ldnsupportgroup.org is the one channel no platform can take away. If Facebook removes the group and Skool changes policies, the email list ensures direct communication with every member who has subscribed.
3.5 Contingency Plan
