Last night, I finally made the switch from Reddit to Lemmy. Honestly it was something I should have done a long time ago. I’d been hearing about Lemmy for a while, but I kept brushing it off because it seemed complicated or too niche or too techy. But after one too many encounters with power-hungry mods, desperate upvote chasers, and a flood of obvious bots, I hit my breaking point. I actually ended up learning more about Lemmy from people venting on Reddit itself, which was kind of ironic!!
I set up an account here, took a last look around Reddit, and bailed. Reddit used to feel like a genuine community, but now it’s just a money-hungry platform, clearly trying to squeeze out every dollar as it spirals down. Lemmy might be new to me, but at least here, it feels like voices still matter. I know you guys already know this, but I want to throw it out there: You all are right!
I’m sorry, I think I misread. Did you just say you blocked two people for being neurodivergent?
You did misread. Now I did not block them for being neurodivergent. I blocked them because they wouldn’t stop trolling me and sending me dm’s. So it was easier to block them. But i have noticed from my interactions with many on here, that there may be a larger percentage of neurodivergent individuals on Lemmy than other places i go to.
Would you disagree?
How do you go about classifying them? I.E. what behaviors are you spotting that are helping you to identify them?
Since youre diagnosing Im assuming youre a mental health professional. What flavor of neurodivergence were the people you blocked and what was the diagnostic criteria?
