Excuse me, but how can I hide this post?
Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.


Excuse me, but how can I hide this post?


Issue is when I follow people, my timeline reaches the post I read in a previous moment, and then I go to local timeline, the whole server timeline, and then the issue appears, in the same way I subscribe to lemmy communities, i read everything and then go to local or global timelines.
Following hashtags is good, but it doesn’t solve that issue when people don’t use them. Even filtering words doesn’t work well because there are generic terms that can be used generically or in a US-focused topic.


Retro games (console & computer), indie games and open source games for the win, absolutely.
I got harassed by tankies even after pointing them out that I have ADHD and ASD. That was months ago, when I was commenting from time to time on a lemmy.ml community. And mod did nothing, obviously 🤷♂️
I don’t think that tankies are the real issue. Obviously they’re an issue, but the real issue is that mods/admins allow them to post and comment as they please, and they don’t remove any of their posts and comments, and they even don’t ban them for good.


I just hope that the IPO backfires, or that users suddenly realise how shitty that webpage is and they leave.


There is a gaming community, but I would like to see a retrogaming community, to discuss and share photos and videos about old/retro games, like Spectrum, NES, SNES, MS-DOS…
Doom 2 is my most favourite game, being Doom Eternal my second most favourite one. I’ve never played Doom 3, I’ve barely touched Doom 2016, and Doom is meh without the super shotgun or the pain elementals.
Gzdoom is the source port I use to play Doom games. It has lots of configurations, you can use tons of mods, and freelook & no autoaim are a delight.
By the way, I upload regularly Doom 2 videos on my HardLimit (Peertube) channel.
It’s OK, I won’t complain (yet :P ). The problem was more the time when I take medications. Both Concerta and atomoxetine, I took them at breakfast, let’s say between 7 and 8. Concerta wore off at 18, 19 or 20, it depended on the day, but sometimes I needed more time to do my stuff, until 22, and I felt upset because of that.
Atomoxetine starts fully working after weeks or months. But it works for 24 hours, so I can control when I start and when I stop doing my stuff.
Besides, I didn’t take Concerta during weekends, which was good at that moment, but not always. Being a student has some circumstances. I stopped taking that pill in March, when I started atomoxetine.
You’re very lucky you can change to an stimulant. I’m not so lucky because I was diagnosed as an adult, so I’m not allowed to take stimulants in Spain. Besides, stimulants work for half a day, more or less, and can’t be taken every day.
I managed to study 2 hours yesterday. It seems that atomoxetine works. But it doesn’t feel very effective, because I planned to study 8 hours, and a wild YouTube video appeared during my break. And today I’m doing nothing productive at all.
Medication works, but it doesn’t work in the way I want, like methylphenidate did.
I had a competitive service exam last Sunday. I think I passed it, but I don’t know yet, until the publication of the provisional official results after some weeks. That’s the good news.
The bad news is that I’ve been bullied by two tankies over two comments I posted on lemmy.ml, and I’m so upset that I don’t even know what to do or how to deal with it. Life fucking sucks, really.


Laughs in Spanish from Spain.
Eternity doesn’t show beehaw content either.
“I’m fine.”
I’m really tired of reading laws and see how the legislator doesn’t know that colons are a thing. And I have to add those colons wherever it’s necessary so I can read and study them in an appropriate way.


About that anniversary edition, is there any information? Since the tralier release, it’s radio silent.


I don’t know whether you’re using other fediverse services, but here is a link that only shows nice servers: https://fedi.garden/
About toxicity and negativity, I’m only on two Mastodon servers, two Lemmy servers (active only here), and on Kbin. Depending on where you’re engaging, you can notice more or less of those bad traits, but their levels are sickening to me. Two or three days ago I commented to a reply I was given, stating what I thought about their opinion. And suddenly I was involved in that toxicity and other bad behaviours made by other random people.
Things can be said in another way, in a nicer and good faithful way, but people consider that, because you cannot see the other party in the conversation, they can behave however they want without consequences for them. But there are consequences, and unfortunately they’re for the receiver. I’m sure outside internet those behaviours would be more limited, in general.
And this is not something that occurs recently or during the last 5 years. I’ve been browsing internet since 2006, and it was as bad as it is now, just with other intermediaries, like online chats, forums, etc. People don’t have legitimacy to act in any way they want, but they do nonetheless. And here is my last thought. What if you are toxic to an user, on the other side of your screen, who happens to have depression or other mental disorders, and you don’t know that fact? Would you feel OK knowing that you’re driving someone to hurt themselves, or worse?
I’ve faith on Beehaw, because I notice admins and moderators are really serious about being nice, and conversations, as far as I can notice, are superb. We all just need to defend this way of acting, pointing out the bad actors and censuring their bad actions.
