Huffman has calculated that, in the event of a disaster, he would seek out some form of community: “Being around other people is a good thing. I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”

So he'll be a leader, not a slave and as a leader, not a slave, will probably have slaves....

If possible, it would be nice to have a community dedicated to music production to separate it from /c/music.

As Buenaventura Durruti said:

"No government fights fascism to destroy it. When the bourgeoisie sees that power is slipping out of its hands, it brings up fascism to hold onto their privileges."

I typed in beehaw.org myself - it wasnt in the list. That only seems to offer up 3 lemmy instances

One of the funny events on Mastodon was that someone set up an instance that was far right and almost within a few hours, all the other instances had de-federated from it and blocked it

No-one was stopping them setting up their own instance but they all said "you don't play well with others so go play on your own!"

I clicked the 3 bars on the left side of the interface, then "add account" and entered beehaw details

Ive had this conversation with people over the years but a lot more recently and its a common comment that people miss the niche communities, the wonderfully weird and surreal sites you would stumble across whereas now its 5 corporate sites reposting the same jokes or content designed to keep you angry about the wrong things.

Re-engaging with lemmy.ml and finding here has made my heart flutter that I'm not alone!

but it’s become an unhealthy addiction. Playing on my serotonin and dopamine

The same with all those major sites: it stopped being about community at some point and became about engagement, because that drives data points which makes them money.

Reddit has been an unhealthy place for a long time with numerous incidents where the admins haven't acted out of moral choices but in the a way that is least damaging to engagement and the brand

The obvious and historically correct thing to do would be to rename it to UNIX then let every other OS fork from it, becoming their own thing! ;)

The term “neurodivergent” implies that there’s nothing wrong with you if you have ADHD–you’re just special and different.

I think that's definitely something you've inferred but is not necessary implied.

For me, it perfectly describes a wide range of neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, et al. It describes a threshold that makes those different from neuro-diversity to where that person has a disorder that impacts their daily life.

Conversely, I feel that the term 'neurotypical' implies that theres nothing wrong with that person when those who are NT, tend to not say what they mean, talk in riddles and hold some very strange assumed opinions about things as well as considering themselves to be normative, very much to the detriment of those they think are outside the parameters they set in their minds.

“Mental illness” is really the only other option

That would imply there is a cure, which there absolutely is not, and that there is a normative 'well' condition.
