It always had such interesting stuff to say. It was banned recently. I think it should be unbanned and allowed back. It had such interesting perspectives on neurodiversity.

    I think this is a great approach. I also used to use lemmygrad and I mentioned I was not comfortable with others and the way they made claims, in no way putting them down I think and apologizing preemptively if I was, and I still was met with less than nice comments.

    I came to hexbear and I find comrades here significantly more supportive and respectful, which has made me stay here and comment and interact more than I have in any other online community. I still love the comrades over at lemmygrad, I think I just would like to keep a bit of distance there. I also think when they see I am from hexbear there's an automatic solidarity between us and I see more good faith responses as a result.

      I'm tired of withdrawing from spaces where I don't feel welcome. There's basically nowhere left. Almost all spaces are hostile to ND people, and the places made for ND people are all extremely liberal to the point where I simply can't relate with anyone. I'm tired of standing outside of the spaces where people meet and socialize and looking through the glass. This is how ND people end up isolated.

        Really sorry to hear that comrade. It's definitely hard. It makes me wonder if something like a village at some point in the past may have been ideal (assuming all material needs were met, which is a big assumption) since there would be some sense of community.

        Wishing you the best 🤗
