It's the silver lining of all these giant conglomerate websites shooting themselves in the foot; their convenience killed all the little small communities that used to exist on the internet by absorbing them. Hopefully this will result in a more varied internet, where you're not required to make a FAAMG account to participate in small niche communities and hobbies.
I was listening to a podcast, Best Friends with Nicole Byers and Sasheer Zamata, and in one episode they started talking about Byers' ADHD. She mentioned she was diagnosed as an adult, and that her type of ADHD, inattentive type, presented itself quite differently to the hyperactive-impulsive type that is so often stereotyped and referenced in media, and as she described how things the disorder affected her life from her own perspective, I started to relate and realize that maybe these symptoms applied to me. So much of ADHD awareness is focused on kids with hyperactivity because it can be disruptive to the people around them, that often those with inattentive type are overlooked.
