Frankly, I probably wouldn’t move either if Windows didn’t permanently break my ethernet and WiFi drivers

I think this might be colouring your expectations a bit, and you might be projecting your experiences on to others.

I’ve said for years that it was gaming that was holding me back from running Linux full time. I don’t do a huge amount of gaming, but it is important to me, so for many years it was a deal breaker.

Now, gaming is good enough, even though it’s not perfect, and I moved to linux full time around 9 months ago.

People aren’t “lying”. They just have different priorities to you…

instances/hubs/rpcs cannot block a user account or community

Why would I want that? That sounds genuinely awful.

Edit - And the plebbit homepage talks about making a 4chan equivalent, and along with this post, there are pepe images everywhere. No thanks. Plebbit can fuck right off

I don’t. I don’t “hold myself accountable” in the way you frame it, because if you “hold yourself accountable” every time your ADHD gets the better of you, you’ll just end up constantly angry at yourself, and still not getting things done, because being angry at yourself doesn’t make your ADHD go away.

So, I will always live in a messy house. But, I (mostly) stop it from getting out of control, and that’s enough. I don’t beat myself up that I can’t keep a house the way many other folk do.

A saying that helped me is “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly”. Which is to say, if something is worth doing, then getting it started and partly done is still better than not getting it done at all. Do the thing you need to do until you can’t do it. Then instead of forcing yourself to keep doing it, move on to something else. A hastily done kitty litter is better than none. A thrown together resume is better than not putting in an application (because you can always update/change it in the future). Give yourself permission to do things “badly”, because at least, you’ll be doing the things.

Hexbear was the only instance with a sizable user base that used to do this, but these days they federate too

I’m the admin :P
