      What app do you use that you’re able to tag people? That looks useful — not just for flagging trolls, but also for tagging the many delightful people I talk to on Lemmy (like you!)

      Bonus question as a palate cleanser after the MAGA troll: do you have any tags that are either wholesome or humorous (or both), and would you share one with me if so? You don’t need to explain the context (or the user who has that tag)

        I use Voyager! That link is for the browser version, but it also has an app on the various stores. To tag someone, hold their username on the comment, and select “Edit Tag”. Doing the same to a user who is already tagged will give you a little comment icon, which links you back to the comment you originally used to tag them.

        I do have a few funny tags, but none of them come to mind at the moment. Mostly, I use it for tagging trolls, bots, AI slop posters, etc… I could block them, but I enjoy being able to see them again in the future and post comments like the one above.

      ? My stance on ADHD and amphetamine use isn’t political. Unfortunately, the history of ADHD is personal to me. Shire released their first amphetamine product within a few months of Perdue’s release of oxycontin. They used similar tactics to increase their userbase and bribed the same public officials.

      …~10% of children in the united states either have taken or are taking amphetamine for a disease that didn’t really exist prior to the release of Adderall. This doesn’t seem fishy to you? Giving one of the most abusable psychoactives to a child is unlikely not to have an impact on their development.

      The genius of an ADHD diagnosis is that it has a strong overlap with the side effects of long-term amphetamine use. It takes decades of research to prove harm, and even then it’s tricky. Still, It’s only a matter of time before it blows up into a Perdue level scandal. It’s why Shire sold their patent; it’s a liability issue.

      I feel bad for the people dependent on amphetamine. Once the government cracks down on excessive and unethical prescriptions, a lot of people are in for a long withdrawal period. It took me a few years to learn how to function without it; I couldn’t have done it willingly.
