Fixed

Also, I noticed last night before I fell asleep that you were posting these, but hadn't added one to mine. I was starting to think the word "question" counted. Maybe it is just me but Rule #1 seems a bit unclear. I read it three times after seeing your posts and genuinely wasn't sure what that second part of the first sentence was saying. It sounded to me like it was saying the title must reflect the questions asked.

If the title must be a question then it might be more clear if it was worded like: 1-All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must be phrased as a question.

Hadn't considered that. Glad to hear you were able to receive the diagnosis then. Good luck with the PCP.

I'm not sure that a facility that primarily focuses on substance abuse treatment is the best ADHD facility, unless you are trying to get clean of something too.

Also, I suspect that the places that are regularly testing their patients, are more concerned that the patients are selling their amphetamine based prescriptions or are amphetamine addicts than the well-being of the patients.

I guess, I don't really remember the political atmosphere from when I created my account around 2013 or so.

My brother had been trying to convince me to create an account for some time, but it wasn't until I realized that there was a lot more to the site than cat pictures that I got around to doing it. Once I got rid of most of the default subs, I thoroughly enjoyed it for several years.

Awesome. Thank you much!

It doesn’t seem that conservative ideology is particularly popular among whatever demographic reddit serves, based on the distribution of subs and comments.

At one point reddit was a very diverse community.

After one of the migrations to the site, some of the new users couldn't tolerate the idea that there were extremists hiding in certain dark corners of reddit. Those users started finding those subs and doing things like taking a screenshot of an ad next to a post that company would never support and spreading it around the internet. It didn't take long after that until reddit started cleaning out those dark corners.

This is a fantastic point. I had completely forgotten about that aspect of Voat.

It is one of those things that on the surface sounds like it could help filter out user that aren't a good fit for a platform but can quickly lead to the platform being stuck with only a certain kind of users.

Oh wow that is a scary shot game. I have been here for like an hour and I have seen several similar comments already.

Guess that is the beauty of the Fediverse.

Sunk Cost Fallacy - A lot of mods just can't bear to give up all the time and effort they have put into Reddit.

Of course, there are better and worse reasons than that too. Just like in any group of people there are the good, the bad, and the other.

As I remember it, the Rexit that caused Voat to become so large was primarily composed disenfranchised conservatives, trolls, and those with extreme views. Even moderately conservative users were likely to feel out of place on Voat.

This Rexit seems primarily composed of disenfranchised mods, app users, and content producers. In my opinion, the much larger variety of people swapping to the Fediverse give it a much more stable base.
