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!

I'm Chris.

This sounds bizarre but I think I was diagnosed when I was a child (I remember lots of tests and conversations with professionals before being removed from mainstream education) but put it down to being a bit messed up about my toxic parents overwrought divorce. I had parents that would hide things so I wasn't told the truth about a lot of things.

I've always known my brain works differently to others and on occasions its made me a target.

It was during the pandemic that it all came to a head. I felt an immense relief not working in the office, where it felt like a sensory overload of noises, smells and touch. I started reading online and finally took an online RAAD-R test but got some friends to also take it.

One scored 17, the other 65 but he said he had issues with the questions whereas mine was 189 and I was making an effort to temper my answers!

So I'm currently self diagnosed but its pretty obvious and when I get my full medical records, I'll find out what happened when I was a kid.

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! ;)
