    "Available". You could have joined any instance besides world where it was also available. This is not leddot.

    Proceeds to reply in the most "leddot" way possible.

    I really should just delete all my Lemmy accounts, after the reddit exodus this place just turned into reddit 2.0

    That's unfortunately a side effect of this type of UI, upvotes and downvotes inherently cultivate a hive mind mentality, making following the meta more important than critical thinking. If you make a clone of Lemmy I guarantee you it will follow the same path eventually

    I hate it because it stereotypes autistic people. I'm tired of being compared to Sheldon Cooper.

    Yet my autistic tendencies are compared to him.

    Imagine we switched out the behavior. Instead of Sheldon behaving like autistic people do, we could give him the issues people with Tourette's face. Of course he doesn't have Tourette's, but he shows the same involuntary tics, and him behaving like that is the butt of the joke. Would the show be at fault?

    Again, you're still the one stereotyping him as autistic, nowhere in the show does it actually say he is

    I literally gave an argument for why this isn't the be-all-end-all. Would you like to try engaging with that instead of just repeating a response that doesn't actually try to understand the issue?

    He's not officially autistic because then it would be obviously wrong to laugh about his behavior - but they still gave him autistic behaviors and expect people to laugh about it! That's honestly worse, as now it's supposedly okay to make fun of the things autistic people struggle with.
