One of my most hated things in the dying days of Reddit is people having to put the /s because of all the mass down voting from users that didn’t get a post was a joke.
When I came here it seemed that wasn’t the case but I’ve noticed over the last month a lot of users using it or having -28 points for an off the cuff comment.
I might be just be a bit too bothered by the need to use it.
Also, I’d venture to guess that a higher concentration of neurospicy individuals exist here than other forums, which may make markup of nonverbal communication more regular.
Just a hunch though.
Increased rates of neurodivergence on a leftist founded Reddit alternative?
It’s less “venture to guess” and more “I’d bet my life savings on that being true.”
Shit. I’m here with ADHD.
And I’m here with ADHD and likely somewhere on the to autistic spectrum (not directly diagnosed with the later but have a sibling who is, making it all but certain), along with early childhood trauma fun. And I’m likely one of the less “neurospicy” about.
I love that term.
