Sure! Your reasons are valid and I'm not asking you to defend them.

I certainly don't like everything in any of those categories either. I've got slices I'm into, but yeah, the broad categories are def part of my interests.

Blocking regional communities is one thing, sure.

I was partially joking, but anime, cartoons, sports, and some tasteful/ethical NSFW are all topics I'm hella interested in but don't get much play here. There's basically no boxing/MMA/basketball/football here.

Each day i feel too normie for this place

I'm not into the skinny models that most porn features and a lot of irl porn comes with a host of ethical issues,

Wait, you're blocking porn, sports, and anime?

Those are the fun parts...

It varies wildly from person to person, and my wife and I work so well as partners cause we have vastly different lists of what we consider exhausting.

Specifically for me?

  • Well-intentioned but unskilled people who insist on helping but don't have the capacity to do so or the self-awareness to understand when their efforts are counterproductive
  • Talking to my side of the family
  • Checking work emails. Not writing them. Just checking them.
  • Code-switching to talk to white people.
  • Watching shows or reading books I dislike just for the sake of completing them
  • Dealing with zoners in fighting games
  • Lingering in silent spaces.
  • Following recipes.

Talking to strangers? No issue. High intensity games? Let's do it. Complicated or arduous manual labor? Hell yeah.

Increased rates of neurodivergence on a leftist founded Reddit alternative?

It's less "venture to guess" and more "I'd bet my life savings on that being true."

Shit. I'm here with ADHD.

That's what i thought you meant. Thanks!

in my case, the diaspora didn't change me so much as it displaced me.

Now I'm here and there. Much like Twitter and Masto where i do more content viewing on the legacy site where there's more content, but more posting on the FOSS alternative because of ideological imperative to see it grow even if its content doesn't serve me (yet?)

Actually, I'm kind of curious:

What do you mean "because of the nature of the reddit migration?"

Yeah i hear you. Reddit was white on average but Lemmy/Kbin feels like baby powder on top of fresh snow

None. I use none. Kraft Mac is already bad but if I'm in the mood for something nostalgic there are a dozen other things i would add first

I think this sort of unfulfilled promise has been the biggest obstacle of my full scale adoption of a reddit alternatives.

As a non-typical Lemmy user (No interest in privacy, piracy, Linux, FOSS, Web Dev, SW Dev, Veganism, or discussing political theory with strangers online) finding active communities in topics i am interested in (basketball, football, hip hop and rap, martial arts, boxing, mma, PC building, relationships, kink, and the specific humor and nuance that comes with being a Black person on the internet) has been a struggle.

Many of those communities have two people or less posting in them or don't exist at all.

People are talking here but not about things i wanna discuss and that's disappointing so i have a hard time "sticking" if that makes sense
