My first experience with a pc was Windows 3 also! My parents business computers. I remember playing Jazz Jackrabbit and skifree on it. I was very young. I did get to use bare DOS tho from a hand-me-down computer that only booted into DOS. I'm not afraid of a little Console/Terminal work. I actually prefer it for some tasks. Like Arch's pacman is SO fast.

We're the generation that learned to troubleshoot bc we had to. If we wanted to play that shiny new game or app, we had to actually get it running first.

Just doing MDMA isnt gonna help, especially if overdone. You gotta do the actual therapy work. The MDMA sets your brain in the right state, but the therapy and introspection are what helps.

Ive had personal experiences with mdma and doing introspection, a long time ago. I managed to gain clarity in places i lacked it before. But that wasnt targeted at helping with my Autism struggles.

For Vets with PTSD, they describe it like, the neural pathways in your brain are like water breaking down a path in a rock. The MDMA allows your brain to break those pathways and create new ones.

Elasticity (lemmy.world)

I watched a video recently on YouTube, an Adam Conover video about MDMA. How its supposedly going to get FDA clearance next year to help with Veterans PTSD. They discussed how MDMA brings the brain into a state of elasticity similar to children, which is what makes it easier to learn things like another language when your a kid. In a different source I read about how children with Autism can go through therapies that could significantly help, some pages specifically talked about age windows for those kinds of therapy. I believe this is due to the same Elasticity.

Would it be a stretch then for MDMA to have potential medicinal applications for helping struggling autistic adults? By restoring that elasticity and doing targeted therapy sessions?

Disclaimer, I am not a neuroscientist, just a struggling adult. Not telling anyone to go out an do anything, wanting thoughtful discussion.

This wouldnt be as much of as issue if Lemmy had better support for connecting with other instances and their communities.

[-] SpaceAape@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well yeah I want people to tie my lemmy.world and lemm.ee accounts to each other, which is why i used the same username, that was intentional. But this username can't trace back to any of my personal information.

I get what your saying, but I think this boils down to just using social media responsibly. The downvote/upvote system isnt a privacy exposure point. Even with the timed thing, nobody is upvoting the same thing on 2 accounts at the same exact time. And personally if i vote a post or comment on one account I'm not going to bother voting the same with another account.

Are you sure you're looking at the right page? My All feed always shows posts from other instances and never matches my local feed.

So far so good, since lemmy is decentralized though users can spread out across many servers to help handle the load while maintaining access to the same aggregated content. You could even run your own personal lemmy instance at home to connect to the lemmy-verse. That way you would be responsible for hosting your own account instead, all while still being able to connect, post, and vote in other instances communities.

They are comparable in the way they are both large archives of information. The thing about reddit is that there was alot of information on obsure topics.

[-] SpaceAape@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I disagree. So many people used Google and Reddit congruently as a sort of "hack" for finding solutions quickly, not just tech based but for any and everything. Google even announced that their search has worsened since the reddit changes. For it to be noticeable by Google and enough the publicly comment on it, I'd say it was driving alot more traffic to reddit than your thinking. It also brought in non daily active users to the site, potentially turning them into daily active users.

Tldr, if this was hurting Google enough to notice, reddit is definitely feeling the pain. ๐Ÿ˜

Actually thats your All feed. You have a local feed for your local Instances communities and an All feed for All instances communities.

Don't forget you can always self host one's own instance and access the larger fediverse from it, without Ads. So because it's open source, itll always be easy to access the fediverse with an Ad free experience. A personal instance doesn't need to grow, scale, host 40gb of data, or have any content at all either so it doesn't come with the issues of a public instance.

Or Facebook who can spend money like no other, shove their users in, and will just control the whole thing.

This just doesn't make sense at all. IF Fb ever added ActivityPub support (it would take a huge rework of their format) but instances would just defederate from it like they did with ad supported instances. And then what is even the point of FB ActivityPub support if their exiled.

I couldn't happily imagine such a future personally. Thankfully its possible to block instances without having to pay for the privilege.
