A significant amount of subs were text only. I get the majority of Reddit was memes, pics, videos and linking to content off site, but there’s still a wealth of text only posts covering thousands of niche topics.

Me too - it has weird quirks that at this stage may be turning potential users away.

To be fair though, it’s something that’s been put together very quickly. I think it’s had 2 updates even just in the last 24hrs, to resolve some of these teething problems (and accidentally introducing more). I’m happy to stick with it and be patient; it’s still in beta and would be unreasonable to expect a fully functional product at this point.

Some frustrations will also be coming from the decentralised nature of Lemmy. I’ve noticed issues with using my lemmy.world account or looking for content on lemmy.world from a different instance, and this isn’t really a fault of wefwef or anyone to be honest (as .world is really struggling with excess load atm). It’s early days, it’s going to be rough, we just need to be patient and mindful.

Honestly I love this idea for Orkney. If they actually managed to get a mandate from some sort of island referendum then good for them.

Sunak already commented on it saying the usual Better Together lines. I’m waiting for a proper Scottish Government response, will be extremely interesting to see the SNP position on this…

I think your hesitance is key here: seems in your gut you feel the risk is likely.

If you do not feel inherently safe disclosing to your manager and/or HR, then I personally wouldn’t disclose. That’s not to say you absolutely shouldn’t, because we don’t know the context, the history, the location or size of your organisation.

Before I knew I was AuDHD, I saw neurodivergence weaponised a bunch in one of my previous jobs. A couple of autistic men often got away with wildly inappropriate behaviour and preferential treatment because management made sure to coddle them because they were ‘different’. Briefly, an ‘out’ autistic woman started in the same area and she was labelled as needy, impossible to work with, constantly denigrated, and quickly dismissed. I saw a lot of myself in her and wonder if the only difference in how we were treated, was that she disclosed.

I have disclosed AuDHD to my current manager only because she makes me feel extremely safe and she’s keen to learn about ND so we can work together more effectively. I would not do this if I sat under any of the other managers in our area, because I do not think they are equipped to understand, nor do I think they’d attempt to.

I appreciate how complex this is and it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately… Whether it’s for some societal greater good that I be “out” about my ND to give visibility of different neurotypes. But I’m also hella tired and don’t want to be the Neurodiversity Champion at this point in my journey.

Whatever decision you come to I really wish you all the best.

I think framing it that way is great advice!

My colleague does not want to disclose her ADHD to the rest of our team so we did a “Guide to Me” sorta thing - it’s just a one page document that outlines how she best works and communicates, so it says things like “I prefer calls over Teams Messages” or “I like clear deadlines on my tasks/actions” or “morning meetings are my preference but I can accommodate later meetings for business needs”.

I’ve encouraged the rest of our team to do it too because I think it’s a great exercise regardless of neurotype.

I think context is also key: you work in a researching environment. My bad experience was in an operational one (processing/admin). I think the nature of the work will likely influence the level of bias/assumptions that disclosing may result in. It’s nothing easy to navigate regardless.

They did explicitly say that premium armour rewards were transmog only, and that not paying for the battle pass won’t put you at a disadvantage gear wise.

If it is a Katamari reference, it’s kinda on theme with some of the extreme horror that comes out of FromSoft games (a barely perceptible alien causes minor inconvenience by rolling up your paperclips, suddenly causes total global extinction and sacrifices everyone and everything on the planet to the cosmos).

The only unique I’ve had drop (LV. 73, only had time to play one character) is Ancients’ Oath (5 of the damn things!), so I for one welcome the possibility of maybe getting something else.

Screaming into the void and therapy.

But fr, the one thing I’m working on unraveling is the guilt I tie to “non-productive” time. I will sit unable to do anything because there are too many things, and mentally torture myself for not being productive. That then uses up so much emotional energy that I feel a thousand times worse. It’s not easy to undo a lifetime of this belief, but I’m explicitly trying to be more gentle with myself, and say: “Okay sure you need to do XYZ, but right now you are not okay, so let’s lie here and have a little rest, watch some crap, and work on recovery.”

One thing to be mindful of is that mystery chest locations will change if the 24hr clock rolls over to the next hour.

So say you’re in an active Helltide (e.g. with 40mins left of Helltide), looking at the user updated map, and it’s currently 13:55. At 14:00 the mystery chests will respawn to one of the other potential locations (but can also remain in the same location). So if you’re checking it just after the hour, the location may not yet be accurate.

As an aside, that means if the Helltide timer crosses over the hour, you have the potential to open 4x chests instead of 2x!
