Excuse me, but how can I hide this post?

Issue is when I follow people, my timeline reaches the post I read in a previous moment, and then I go to local timeline, the whole server timeline, and then the issue appears, in the same way I subscribe to lemmy communities, i read everything and then go to local or global timelines.
Following hashtags is good, but it doesn't solve that issue when people don't use them. Even filtering words doesn't work well because there are generic terms that can be used generically or in a US-focused topic.
Hello. So, since 2022 I visited several Mastodon servers or created an account on them, and I somehow feel uncomfortable on all of them. Either they're filled with activism / politics, which I don't give a f*ck about, or they're filled with people from the US or people who cares more about US than about their own countries (admins included), and I'm tired of that sh*t. I was looking for international Mastodon servers with the less amount of Usonian shenanigans, but it's impossible to do that kind of search, and I don't know any other fediverse place to hang out as a non-Usonian person. Any recommendation?

Retro games (console & computer), indie games and open source games for the win, absolutely.

I don't think that tankies are the real issue. Obviously they're an issue, but the real issue is that mods/admins allow them to post and comment as they please, and they don't remove any of their posts and comments, and they even don't ban them for good.

Creo que un psiquiatra, independientemente de si es sanidad pública o consultorio privado, no debería comportarse así, dada la fragilidad de los pacientes que acuden para precisamente tratar esa fragilidad. Pero te cuento: fui a pedir derivación a mi médico de cabecera en noviembre del 2022. Me dieron cita con una psicóloga clínica para enero del 2023, y luego de eso una cita con una psiquiatra en marzo del 2023. Dada mi urgencia (estaba queriendo preparar oposiciones a funcionario), no quise esperar y fui a un consultorio privado. Comenté mi asunto, y me recetaron medicación. Funcionaba, pero no como yo quería, así que me la cambiaron, y sí que se notaba, de no hacer nada en todo el día a estudiar casi todo el día. De ahí se confirmó que efectivamente yo tenía TDAH. Luego en la seguridad social me quitaron ese estimulante por problemas legales, y volví a la medicación original. Y con esta sigo.
Ahora intento obtener terapia psicológica en algún despacho privado para manejar o superar esa disfunción ejecutiva, y poder hacer cosas sin depender de café o té o lo que sea que pueda tomar.
No diré nombres de medicamentos ni nada, ni tampoco diré nada que vaya contra las normas de esta comunidad. Solo te deseo mucha suerte, y ojalá que consigas ese diagnóstico en la seguridad social.

Thank you. I've only found one psychologist near my town, and he doesn't even treat ADHD on adults. Only on children and teenagers. Either way, being in Spain I can assure you that price would be astronomical for my wallet.
About the other link, I'm looking at it. There are a couple of psychologists from Singapore, but I need to be sure that they treat ADHD on adult population, and I don't even know how the price is per session there.
Hello. I was diagnosed with ADHD one year ago already (I was 35 back then), but since then I'm only with medical treatment, in other words, with medication. This medication can keep my ADHD symptoms under control, at a degree. But it does absolutely nothing against my executive dysfunction and my focus issues, and I don't have proper tools to handle my ADHD. On a Discord server someone told me to look for therapists that do online sessions from third world countries for ADHD people, but I don't know where to look for them, and I don't know whether they're actual therapists or random scammers either. I live in Spain (pointing that out in case you try to push your US narrative), and a psychologists charges between 40 € and 60 € per session, being one session per week. And I can't afford spending 160 €/240 € per month when I don't even have a job. Does anyone can give me some advice or recommendations, or webpages where I can look for someone?

Doom 2 is my most favourite game, being Doom Eternal my second most favourite one. I've never played Doom 3, I've barely touched Doom 2016, and Doom is meh without the super shotgun or the pain elementals.
Gzdoom is the source port I use to play Doom games. It has lots of configurations, you can use tons of mods, and freelook & no autoaim are a delight.
By the way, I upload regularly Doom 2 videos on my HardLimit (Peertube) channel.

As a person afraid of death, I like hearing stories like this one...
Well, not really afraid of death, but more like afraid of not existing any more. Like not experiencing anything at all ever again. That's why NDEs give me some hope, either another realm, or reincarnation, or whatever except nothingness.

It's OK, I won't complain (yet :P ). The problem was more the time when I take medications. Both Concerta and atomoxetine, I took them at breakfast, let's say between 7 and 8. Concerta wore off at 18, 19 or 20, it depended on the day, but sometimes I needed more time to do my stuff, until 22, and I felt upset because of that.
Atomoxetine starts fully working after weeks or months. But it works for 24 hours, so I can control when I start and when I stop doing my stuff.
Besides, I didn't take Concerta during weekends, which was good at that moment, but not always. Being a student has some circumstances. I stopped taking that pill in March, when I started atomoxetine.

You're very lucky you can change to an stimulant. I'm not so lucky because I was diagnosed as an adult, so I'm not allowed to take stimulants in Spain. Besides, stimulants work for half a day, more or less, and can't be taken every day.

I managed to study 2 hours yesterday. It seems that atomoxetine works. But it doesn't feel very effective, because I planned to study 8 hours, and a wild YouTube video appeared during my break. And today I'm doing nothing productive at all.
Medication works, but it doesn't work in the way I want, like methylphenidate did.

I had a competitive service exam last Sunday. I think I passed it, but I don't know yet, until the publication of the provisional official results after some weeks. That's the good news.
The bad news is that I've been bullied by two tankies over two comments I posted on lemmy.ml, and I'm so upset that I don't even know what to do or how to deal with it. Life fucking sucks, really.

Hi, Elmo Muskrat. Why don't you stop playing too much Call of Duty and instead you go to Russian occupied territories in Ukraine to see how Ukrainians are living and being treated? Just a little tiny suggestion, as small as your brain. You're welcome.

Thank you for the feedback. Still, brigading and harassing are allowed awful behaviours, and it seems that moderators/administrators do nothing against that.

An instance that bans both hexbear and lemmygrad. But it's useless when it federates with an instance that also federates with one or both of them, so the problem still stands.

I deleted my Reddit account some months ago. But if I knew how much toxic is Lemmy becoming into, I wouldn't come here either. Because right now I can't tell the difference between Reddit and Lemmy, to be honest.

I don't know whether you're using other fediverse services, but here is a link that only shows nice servers: https://fedi.garden/
About toxicity and negativity, I'm only on two Mastodon servers, two Lemmy servers (active only here), and on Kbin. Depending on where you're engaging, you can notice more or less of those bad traits, but their levels are sickening to me. Two or three days ago I commented to a reply I was given, stating what I thought about their opinion. And suddenly I was involved in that toxicity and other bad behaviours made by other random people.
Things can be said in another way, in a nicer and good faithful way, but people consider that, because you cannot see the other party in the conversation, they can behave however they want without consequences for them. But there are consequences, and unfortunately they're for the receiver. I'm sure outside internet those behaviours would be more limited, in general.
And this is not something that occurs recently or during the last 5 years. I've been browsing internet since 2006, and it was as bad as it is now, just with other intermediaries, like online chats, forums, etc. People don't have legitimacy to act in any way they want, but they do nonetheless. And here is my last thought. What if you are toxic to an user, on the other side of your screen, who happens to have depression or other mental disorders, and you don't know that fact? Would you feel OK knowing that you're driving someone to hurt themselves, or worse?
I've faith on Beehaw, because I notice admins and moderators are really serious about being nice, and conversations, as far as I can notice, are superb. We all just need to defend this way of acting, pointing out the bad actors and censuring their bad actions.

Sorry, I didn't write correctly what I meant. I meant calling someone names, like "you're this" or "you're that", just because you have a different opinion than mine.

I've only seen brigades from hexbear on other instances I don't belong, but I understand that it's a thing we need to deal with, using proper and more effective moderation tools. Defederation can also be a solution, temporary in this case, until the admins of that instance control, somehow, the brigaders so they stop brigading.
I mean, I can behave in any way I want in my own house, because it's my own house. But when I'm in someone else's house, I never think about behaving in that same way, unless I want to face consequences, even before a court of justice. Instances are like houses, and communities are like rooms, and you have to follow the rules of the place you're interacting on.
Hello everyone. This is my fifth month taking atomoxetine, and my third month with a 100 mg dose. I can say that life is better with medication than without medication, but not everything changed for the better. - My impulsivity has been reduced. I ponder about this or that choice before taking it, although some days I feel myself more impulsive than others. But in general, that's really good. - My racing thoughts slowed down noticeably. I feel my head more silent than during the time I was not diagnosed. It's not silent, and I "listen to" music non-stop, but I have way less voices and intrusive thoughts. - I think I can engage in conversations more easily. I'm not in my mind world the way I was when I was not diagnosed. The negative note is that I also have ASD, so it's still a struggle sometimes, but better to have one disorder tamed than unleashed. - I can manage my time more efficiently. I still can be a bit impatient, depending on the day and the situation, but it's more under control. I only can notice two bad things: - My executive dysfunction is still non existent. I want to do things, but I'm not able to make my thoughts into actions. And it sucks. I have responsibilities, and I don't take care of them, no matter how much I think about taking care of them. - Dysgeusia is a real pain, especially when you need to stop eating something you like because its taste feels disgusting somehow. I stopped taking soy milk, cow milk, milkshakes and apple juice over time. I found that eating peanut butter with atomoxetine can hide that side effect, but I would rather prefer not to have that side effect. Anyway, this 8th of August I have my next appointment with my psychiatrist. I'm not sure whether continuing with this treatment or changing to guanfacine, considering those two negative points (especially the executive dysfunction). I'm not allowed to take stimulants, and in my country only atomoxetine and guanfacine are available specifically for ADHD. What about you? Any tips, advice, positive experiences...?
Hello everyone. As the title says, I'm considering to ditch my graphical environment, because I find it very distracting, especially because I can think about playing video games or browsing the web mindlessly when I should be studying. And when I'm studying, those thoughts wander inside my head, and it sucks. So, moving to a TTY environment, and using terminal programs, is the only way I find to avoid those intrusive thoughts and any other distraction. But I'm afraid that I'll be very limited somehow, because there aren't enough programs to fulfill my needs, or because those programs cannot perform as many tasks as their graphical counterparts. I know some programs that I can use, like Links, Vim/Emacs, mpd, Ranger, and tmux, as well as some rogue-like games, like DCSS, Angband and NetHack. I also heard about framebuffer, but I don't know how it works. Did any of you experimented with TTY? How long did you last inside it?
OK, so this happens since the UI update, but I noticed it last week. I had some games installed, and I wanted to free some space in my hard drive. I did the usual thing: right click on the game I wanted to uninstall, go to manage, and click on uninstall. Nothing happens. I do it again, and nothing happens. I try with another video game, same thing, nothing happens. It's supposed that a pop up window should appear to confirm my decision, but there is no pop up window. I tried to uninstall Steam and reinstall again, maybe that do the trick. I write my username and password, I put my verification code, and I proceed to change my Steam parameters. I select Spanish in the drop down menu language... and nothing happens. I try to opt in the Steam beta, and nothing happens. So, every time there is a drop down menu or something similar, it's like I'm clicking onto the void. The menu disappears, there is no message, there is no pop up window, there is nothing. So, I can't to almost anything. Does anyone know what should I do? I'm using Lubuntu.
Hello. At the end of the last year, in October or November, I had this obsession or impulse to buy a Raspberry Pi. Don't ask me why, because it was an ADHD thing of mine. Because I couldn't find any Raspberry Pi 4 out there, I went to a Raspberry Pi 400, because it was the most similar device to a Pi 4. I was happy, I had a computer which ran better than my slightly old Mac Mini 2016, despite having 4 GB of RAM too. And, since December, almost January, it's collecting dust. I don't know why I don't use it, and I don't know why I can't take the decision to use it despite thinking about it sometimes. I can play games on my Mac Mini which I can't play on my RP 400, but those games are still old, abandonware in some cases. But it's struggling with few programs opened, including my browser, and I don't like that, so I'm eager to use my RP 400 again. So, tell me, what other things can I do with my RP 400, besides browsing the web, listening to music or playing emulators? Or, in other words, is a RP 400 better than a Mac Mini 2016 to do the same stuff?
