This is why I can't do online left wing spaces any more. They talk the talk about ableism, but then its "why can't you boycott the only food you can eat, just eat something else", "you could talk to service workers if you wanted to, you just think you're better than them".
Then sharing a video of people with their fingers in their ears at a black music festival with a caption calling them racists, when they're clearly autistic people enjoying the festival but having sensory problems.
I blame the popular understanding/misunderstanding of neurodiversity. People think autism is just a personality type.

Ha, I was thinking about "how to make friends" advice earlier. When you ask NTs how to make friends they just list places you can go. They assume once you're in a place with other people you will naturally make friends with them.
I still use both Lemmy and Reddit and I honestly think Lemmy is in a sweet spot where there are enough comments for a discussion but not enough to go off topic.
Reddit discussions are never about the OP, they're always riffing on an off-topic joke that someone made in a reply to the already off-topic top comment.
"I would never bully someone for being autistic!" ( sh.itjust.works )

Reddit users who switched to Lemmy, what is the most annoying thing you have seen about Lemmy users?
