This is definitely more than just neurodivergent people these days, but being ADHD, I definitely feel this specifically regarding my ADHD.😔

@Blaze well it definitely should stop using everyone's Mastodon posts as topics if I can't even go there to see if my replies are propagating correctly.🤦♂️

You know John Mastodon, but have you heard of Fedi Mercury?

@jerry That does make sense!

Also, I was told that in other countries, specifically with hospital, the article use or absence is a difference of state of being vs just being at the physical location.

Like "going to the hospital" is referring to the physical building but not necessarily for poor health while "going to hospital" is specifically referring to being in poor health and like an ER visit or inpatient stay.

Thanks for your insight, friend!

I'm glad I could learn a few things today.🙏

@frog Yes I get that now. I was also explained that in the cases without an article, it's a state of being. Like specifically inpatient stay because of serious health issues not just there to visit or other reasons, if that makes sense. We don't use it differently in the US so that's where the confusion lay.

@davidnjoku Thank you. I didn't understand the difference between the state of being and the physical location. The state of being version isn't really used in the US so that's why it always confused me.

Appreciate the explanation, friend!🙏👊

@alex Thank you. I didn't understand the difference between the state of being and the physical location. The state of being version isn't really used in the US so that's why it always confused me.

Appreciate the explanation, friend!🙏👊

Genuine question that I'm sure will get taken wrongly or seem absolutely stupid:

Why do people from certain countries not use Article words like "the" and "a" when referring to hospitals?🤔

"He's at hospital" vs "he's at the hospital" or "he's at a hospital"

And why is it different from other general location names like "the house", "a house", etc?

@Tweakedenigma Well...there's Matrix too, but that's definitely not ready for casual users like Discord has.

It has to "just work".🤷♂️😬

@Tweakedenigma Thanks. That's two votes for Revolt. Will check it out!🫡

@thesofafox Thanks, I'll look into revolt. Matrix is definitely not ready for mainstream adoption. It's like Fediverse, right? Gotta pick a server that wont just up and disappear tomorrow?😬

Most people don't wanna deal with that and it's not user friendly unfortunately.😔

@TheLastOfHisName sure. Here you go.

@RxBrad Lots of people love Uranus despite the farts. So I guess they just think it's fine.🤣

Soo....Discord is dying apparently. They're actively taking steps to ensure that their userbase starts to look for alternatives.

How's Guilded these days? Decent alternative?🤔

@toothpaste_sandwich It's either Lemmy instance or a Mbin instance. They're similar softwares that serve the same purpose but with different features. Mbin is a fork of the defunct Kbin.

I don't know which it is, but it's one of those, not its own thing.

@RxBrad Apparently mine likes to use it as a business deal. They reactivated me and said "this time it's free, but if it happens again, it's $20 for each subsequent reactivation"🙄

Even when they sent the email 2 weeks ago, I rolled my eyes and barely read it. Now that I re-opened it, it actually says that NO action would be taken against my account.😒

That was a lie.🤦♂️

@wizardbeard Ohhh, great! Tysm!🙏

I love how Fedia.io loves to turn Fedi posts into Lemmy discussions based on hashtags, but doesn't event let you browse the site without logging in.🙄

The true FOSS version of Reddit is taking form.

All other Lemmy/Mbin instances, where's your login gate?!? Come on now, keep up!🤦♂️

@mikemccaffrey I feel like whoever footed the bill for this show got caught up in the "we're gonna show the world how dangerous all flights could possibly be due to pilots being encouraged to hide medical diagnoses" and not think about the liability and danger that they themselves caused by doing so.😬

@wizardbeard I'm in this fresh hell of Louisiana.😫

I haven't done direct downloads since like 2010 and back then, it had to be broken up into 56,832 parts, each with a different link to download and I ain't about to go back to that if that's still how it is.😂

I might need a crash course in direct download piracy in 2025 if things are better now.🤭
