Hey guys. This is a safe place which so far has required zero mod actions. Feel free to post about anything ADHD related. I don't mind what words you want to use or if you self diagnose. Some no-no's: Don't tell others what meds they should take. But feel free to discuss your own meds. No suicide threats, we won't do as good a job here as your local help line, and if you're at that point, you need more help than an open forum.

Try keep it positive but thats not a rule just encouragement.

May I ask what was so awful about it? (So we can help avoid the same outcome)

I have never had an issue with r/adhd. For the most part, the community there was kind, caring, accepting and helpful. I was actually hoping this community would be just like r/adhd...

As a former mod of r/adhd, I can assure you that each decision made was due to problems either on the sub or on the associated chat room. r/ADHD was supposed to be a support group and information location whereas r/adhdmemes was for the shitposting and memes. The problem appears to be that over time, more and more rules and issues cropped up and rules for temporary situations were never revisited. You will probably find that this is a more welcoming environment to begin with and then will slowly become more and more like r/adhd as problems occur.

Ohh yes. I lost that community because of the mods there. And I was looking for another adhd community that fit my needs. Didn't find any and I was a little concerned that the mods from there are the ones modding this place as well.

I hope so. My experience thus far between Kbin and Mastodon are very positive. ADHD, ASD, etc. seem to be more common, therefore better understood and accepted.

Everyone is different and struggles differently, but hey. Hopefully you find some friendly faces here ^^
