Same thing on Mastodon, which I tried for a month or so. It seems every single profile you open some of the claims you mention are there, followed by disabled, and a bunch of (self-diagnosed?) mental illnesses.

It's like they're collecting pokemons. And it's not used as a list of characteristics, it's their "identity" and an accomplishment. It is center to every single thing they say, whom they associate with, etc.
