I realize you are coming from a helpful place and I appreciate that but the enjoyment I get out of Reddit is my business to be honest.
You may see it as toxic but I find the community of it to be exactly what I prefer. I have AuDHD (which is ADHD with a pinch of high functioning autism) I like to jump from topic to topic. Some things that I need information on, some things that I just obsess about. Feelings to help understand. There was a large community of folks like me that understands how my brain works more so that having to explain it every time so it was a good place to just post and respond and feel apart of something. Actually I wouldn’t have gotten diagnosed without speaking to people on there, getting through the stigmas and fears.
Do I fuck around on there as well, of course I do but it beats being around strangers.
Ps I do paint and have activities I do by myself but I am physically isolated alot (by preference) so Reddit was my outlet.
Lemmy isn’t bad its just not as wide as reaching as Reddit
Jesus christ lol…you’d think I’m getting a list of special agent aliases
