I hate to post about Reddit on a non-Reddit platform, but come on! Reddit is super overrated, like they delete and downvote every post and comment I make whereas no one does that here. One time, they told my friend who happens to be autistic, LGBT, and a fictionkin that she “might as well just kill herself”, though that got removed, thankfully, and they call me stupid and delete my post and talk about what a stupid question it is that no one can answer when I, who is autistic, ask a question on why someone acts a certain way or why society has to be a certain way. I’M AUTISTIC. I DON’T GET QUESTIONS THAT COME NATURALLY TO EVERYONE ELSE AND I ASK QUESTIONS THAT NO ONE THINKS OF. MY BRAIN WORKS DIFFERENTLY, MR. REDDITOR!!!

    Whoof, yikes, yeah.

    Reddit is just chock full of random harassment.

    We’ve gotten some here too but it’s not anywhere NEAR as bad. Here we feel relatively safe using ‘we’ and signing our messages. We’ve mostly stopped using ‘we’ on reddit and I get the occasional mocking comments about signing my name.

      It is, for sure. I’m so sorry you’ve gotten so negative messages. By the way, do you maybe happen to plural?? I am too! So far, we have one other known headmate, he’s Mark! His English is not the best, though, we are natively Spanish.

        Yeah!! We’re plural too! Oh that’s awesome. *wags*

        We have a lot of people, but most of us only showed up a couple times and just haven’t shown up again much since (they’re all still there though). We’ve got a group of like five or six people who front regularly.
