I don’t personally see the point of getting a diagnosis. I’d still have ADHD even after the diagnosis and the idea of starting to medicate it is not something I’m too thrilled about.

That’s pretty dishonest summary of what I said. Nobody is selling anything here.

There are valid reasons to restrict the visibility of your content to registered users.

I post nudes on a certain site, where I have the ability to choose who can see my pictures. The options are: everyone, friends, registered users, and VIP members (paid subscription). Nearly all of my pictures are set to be visible only to registered users, with the spicier ones restricted to VIP members. My reason for this has nothing to do with trying to force people to create an account, let alone pay for a subscription. I have no illusions about my content being completely safe from outsiders. I simply want to create a small amount of friction to prevent complete randoms from easily accessing my content when they have no personal investment in the site. I see putting myself out there as the price I pay for free access to everyone else’s profiles. If you want to see my pictures, I expect you to do the same. I’m taking the risk of potentially being recognized - I expect you to take that risk too.

Many of them. Personally I’m just using my adblocker for that since I’m only using Lemmy on Firefox.

But for real, I agree. Forcing US politics down the throat of everyone just builds resentment and makes people completely check out from it. I have content filters set to hide all of it. I’d like an option to show me the most important ones but that is not an option. It’s to either be firehosed by Trump and Musk articles or blocking it all. I choose the latter.

The only company I’ve ever truly been invested in is the one I’m running myself. I’ve never seen working for someone else as anything more than trading my time for monetary compensation. The only reason I ever cared about a company’s success was to ensure I still had a place to earn a living from.

If it were a small business where I felt valued, then maybe it would be different - but not when we’re talking about a company that employs hundreds and the CEO doesn’t even know me by name.

Sowing distrust on the election system is exactly what Trump wants.

Wolves don’t indiscriminate between invasive and endangered species though.

Isn’t that what streamers are for?
