A lot of symptoms of ADHD happen to the general population as well, but in people with ADHD they may happen at such frequency and/or intensity that they become debilitating in the current system.
Self diagnosis is fine. There's coping mechanisms one can use without an medical diagnosis. If they see not enough one can try for an official diagnosis.

Long-term, regulations are either bypassed or dismantled, or the regulatory agencies are captured. Either lead to the same cyclical result where in the euphoria/bubble state of capitalism, existing regulations are removed to allow the system to grow faster/higher, and once the economy inevitably busts and (poor people's) lives are lost/ruined, then some regulations are added to "not let this happen again". At least, until the next boom cycle begins. We've already seen this play out and we're at the point where we can't see it play out again as that will literally lead to a human-led mass extinction event.
After a year online the free speech-focused instance 'Burggit' is shutting down. Among other motivations, the admins point to grievances with the Lemmy software as one of the main reasons for shutting down the instance. In a first post asking about migrating to Sharkey, one of the admins states:...
I honestly think you peeps need to somehow invest in your communication strategy somehow. Such communication breakdowns is/was causing schisms in the lemmy community which is an extreme shame as that's in turn driving away the same potential contributors that would help the software improve faster to cover these same points. I would argue that saying things like "we're still in beta, come back in 2 years if you can't handle the heat" is not doing you any favours. I know you are technically correct, but there's no reason to phrase it like that, yanno? Not everyone interprets such statements the same way and for non-ASD/ADHD people, this can parse very hostile and confrontational, even if you honestly didn't mean it to be read like that.
Apologies in advance for the unsolicited advice, but have you considered reaching our for some community outreach person to join your team? Such positions won't necessarily fill themselves and you need to ask for it. But at this point I think it might significantly help the lemmy project avoid such drama.
There's people who like building this sort of code. I don't mind it for example and I've already written multiple of them for the lemmy ecosystem (fedi-safety, fediseer, threativore etc), I'm just too busy with my own projects to contribute even more. If you are not having fun doing them, try to find and retain people who do.
Yes I understand that. I meant making an open call for volunteers on that aspect. Note that I'm in the same boat with my own FOSS project where it's not always easy to find the volunteers, but at least I don't have the same pressures as you face on this area. Not saying this is going to be an easy fulfillment, but it can be perhaps something to pursue.
How else would you say this?
Note that I'm AuDHD, so I'm not the best person to actually do these things. It's because I know my limitations that I have compensated by learning to notice these pitfalls in communication. I would also need someone to help me in the same situation as you.
Nevertheless, If I were to speculate, I wouldn't even go in that direction. From what I've seen, most people who know what they're doing in this aspect will just say something like "we acknowledge the issue and we'll do what we can to handle it asap" or whatever, just so people don't feel left in the cold, you know? Again, don't take what examples I write as the exact practice as it's not my area of expertise. I'm just (badly) parroting what I saw work better.
If I had the skills and the time, I would. But I'm an AuDHD tech-nerd, and vastly unsuited and unsuitable for such a role. The point is not to ask the specific people making this suggestion as a gotcha, it's to recognize there's a problem area which might be solved with another volunteer with the right skillset and take the steps to find one. To put it another way, you are already painfully cognizant that lemmy needs some DB attention. There's no point in asking people who bring up performance issues if they can do the necessary DB work, but there is a point in making an open call for people with DB optimization expertise. Does this make sense?
Today we got the information that Dragon Quest III remake comes to every console and PC, as well as Yuji Horii want Dragon Quest XII worthy of the posthumous work of the two [Akira Toriyama and Koichi Sugiyama] who passed away. I take that as an opportunity to talk about the Dragon Quest series. It's one of the longest running...
Never played any in the original consoles but tried one of them on an emulator at some point (don't remember which game anymore) and found it very uninspired and grindy
I got hooked to them from igtm a couple of years ago. Then became a really big fan with pump it. Tekkno was amazing and their collaboration with bm solidifies them as amazing. Still thinks this is the best banger of 2024
I (20m) am 6'5" tall. One of my female friends who's 5'5" told me that my height makes my belly particularly vulnerable in case if I get attacked with a pocket knife, for example. Why is it so?

Any lemmies that are politically neutral?
Looking for somewhere to discuss stuff that doesn't swing right or left and doesn't ban people for voicing an opinion.
Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
"Moderation tools are nonexistent on here. It also eats up storage like crazy [...] The software is downright frustrating to work with" - Can any other instance admins relate to this?
