Edit: I just learned from a comment on another post here that it’s literally the only rule for this community. Thanks @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for taking out the trash.
I just ran into several comments all saying this. If you’re going to be policing this community for “normal human behavior” you’ve certainly got a lot of work cut out for yourself. Almost everything about ADHD is an exaggeration of normal human behavior, we don’t randomly tweet like birds or wear silly hats, it’s the exaggeration that makes it a disorder.
It’s also really invalidating and it’s the same gaslighting crap that we’ve had fed to us by jerks our whole lives.
Yeah, the amount of people saying and upvoting that stuff is just depressing. Hopefully things get better with time. I have no problems with people thinking that stuff and being corrected from time to time but multiple people saying that stuff under every x post is just too much.
I think it’s because a bunch of people are just looking at the everything feed instead of just their subscribed comms (myself included), because it’s easy to handle right now with lemmy not having an enormous userbase. But these people obviously know where they’re commenting if they’re saying that.
I mean I don’t come into your house and basically tell you you’re just imagining your problems. It’s ableist as shit.
There’s also the fact that a lot of people have undiagnosed ADHD which makes them think that we’re just making stuff up when in reality they’re also affected by it.
Yeah, those I do have some sympathy for because they’re still living life on hard(er) mode but no matter who you are it’s the sheer volume of knee-jerk reactions that’s annoying.
I looked at your profile and caught some of the nuked comments you made in that same thread I came from. I totally agree, it’s really frustrating to see disinformation repeated a bunch of times with many upvotes, show up with an actual informed opinion, and people downvote you like crazy in minutes.
