Hi I'm Tim.

I"m AuADHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • For me:

    • Instance = MMO bosses. Part of the server, but doing your own thing, seperate from the rest of the server.
    • Server = a large number of people that can interact and talk with each other.

    But also me:

    • Server/Instance = An individual connection point to the whole (Lemmy in this case), with it’s own rules/policies, but can interact with the whole unless they become unstable/spammy, at which point they are removed (Lemmy = defederated).
    • Lemmy = The IRC network. You can have netsplits (different instances coming and going that effect each other), but they all talk the same language and really for the most part doesn’t matter what server your on.

    Discord = I do not understand. It’s like if you mashed IM and IRC together, but broken, and doing nothing well. Why anyone uses it is perplexing.
