So cut me some slack because what I'm about to say is likely to annoy some people but it's not an accusation against any one as such. But don't you get tired with the threads here. 60% seems to be parents going 'my child X please help.' Even if you restrict yourself the autistic adults forum so much of it is so trivial and boring every day. I've started clasifing the difrent classes of boring threads I'm reading, they are so predictable.
Threads I miss seeing and that seem to be getting rarer:
I'm not saying everything has to be like a oxbridge debating sociaty but it would be nice if we could have a few more meaty discussions around here. I'm surely not the only one who feels that way?
Peter said:Ah but in the process do you not make it unsafe place for people with controversial opinions?
I Sperg said:a few others here, MIGHT benefit from my most recent thread
This is a more appropriate site, the one that ISperg is frequently referencing, and does so here on his 'most recent thread':
https://community.autism.org.uk/f/miscellaneous-and-chat/36575/watch-and-learn
People who needed this resource have been driven away from the support the site offers by the controversy that you deem so precious.
Why do you persist when it's not welcome by the majority of members and is harmful by isolating people even further?
There are other, better places for this sort of thing.
No there aren’t. I know from personal experience. The place where I felt most free to be myself was taken away from me and I have never found anything else like it. These better places you are referring to are empty rooms with no activity and no people; tiny corners of the Internet that no one ever goes on. Were I to post there I would be talking to myself.
Try Truth Social.
Whatever. I'm done.
There are more uplifting and constructive threads to focus on.
This one was always going to be a visit to energy vampire land.
I have been foolish to linger so long.
So long.
My point is from what I understand truth social is just twitter but more so. No real debate just a load of echo chambers.
