Well, not a fault per Se, but it should be expected that you'd see stuff outside your normal interests in the torrent of posts.

But, that's what your subscription list is for. Just curate your subscribed communities, no?

You can block the instance in your account settings, and you can also block individual communities. Finally you can block specific users as well. Any more control and you need to find a frontend that might handle that.

You have to remove the ableist slurs

"works" is doing some heavy lifting here. ND people having to mask is stressful. It's not for our primary benefit, it's for others. It' "works" the same way that beatings "work" to prevent left-handedness.

You give money to centralized monopolistic capitalists regardless what you do

People buy GPUs already for video games and other purposes. We're using the same consumer cards, not enterprise ones.

But I see the same problems as with email, chat etc. You can selfhost almost everything. But too few people are doing it. You can use Linux as your Desktop and at least 4% are doing it. Still too few if you ask me.

The system is explicitly setup so that normal people don't need to set up anything. Experts and enthusiasts are the one doing the complex work, while normies just use a simply client like this and power users can also use more advanced clients.

And if most of the people keep using the commercial and closed source options over the self hosted one, then I see this concentration of power.

That's up to all of us to counter by promoting the good solutions instead, not of just despairing and begging politicians to fix this (they won't, they'll promote monopolies instead)

I'm going to do a charitable interpretation and assume you're going for the "you're technically correct" joke

Grandma gets a lot of leeway from me, as she grew in WW1, lived through WW2 and was tortured during the civil war. She has hard as steel. For me it's still a funny story, especially since at the time I was hiding under a desk scream-crying "iiiiiiiiii" like a goddamn bombing alarm and she just wanted me to shut up :D

Lemmy is adding the tags in the activitypub metadata which mastodon then correctly reads. The tags don't need to be in the text of the post for mastodon to parse them (neither do the reply usernames for that purpose). It's just that in your normal mastodon interface, it only parses things from your text, so you're used to seeing it there.

EDIT: In this specific case, you're seeing it in the #adhd tag, because it's tagged like this for being posted in the !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com comm.

Yep, I just didn't know how to add that succinctly to the title 😁
