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!!!
Yeah, Reddit is a shithole.
Yeah reddit is a cesspool. I had gotten death threats on there for having a profile pic that looked vaguely furry. The guy who made the death threats got a slap on the wrist.
Meanwhile my account caught a 3 day ban for joking about mosquitoes getting cancer, and then a perm ban for saying that Nazis are losers. Reddit is a fascist supporting platform and the sooner it goes down in flames, the better.
It’s obvious that Reddit hates disabled people since they killed alt front-ends for the blind community a while back.
It floors me that all these Internet companies that ignore accessibility aren’t getting smacked down by the ADA (and similar laws elsewhere).
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.

Ooo, cool!!! I’m glad I found a plural collective here!
You sure said it. Society in general isn’t too friendly to disabled individuals
You have to fit into a certain fucking mold. I didn’t ask to be here, want to be here, and I’m making plans to fuck off to some mountain, and crossbow anyone who bothers me.
I just needed to be allowed to buy cheap meds that aren’t even narcotic, stimulant, or hallucinogenic, just something to reabsorb Dopamine and Noradrenaline.
Yeah Reddit is a giant pile of dogshit. Good riddance.
I have to ask, did your friend get told to kill themselves because of being a gay autistic furry or was it for something else?
I think you’re probably implying that is it, but I’ve been told on reddit to kill myself for all kinds of things that are less interesting than that.
I think it was being a gay autistic furry, yeah.
