    That’s one thing that makes me want to get myself checked. I am pretty sure I am on the spectrum, but still…

      This one is my biggest cross to bear, I’m otherwise close enough to neurotypical that I was able too fool myself for decades.

      Not sure anyone else bought it, but they didn’t raise a fuss. Bless.

    Call me autistic, but does this need to be an image? It uses like 10 000 bytes to say what 100 bytes would say in text. :P

      Ooooh now this is interesting. My first reaction was “hah, yeah exactly!”. But then I thought: this image of text contains more information than just the textual content. For example:

      • The words are someone else’s, not OP’s
      • They were sourced from a different social media network to this one

      Also, it may be due to the prevalence of smartphone use in interacting with Lemmy vs using a traditional computer: it’s often quicker and easier to take and share a screenshot of text than it is to select, copy and paste that text.

      I’m not saying you’re wrong. I just read your comment at the time my morning coffee really hit, and it spawned an interesting chain of thoughts.

      So… thank you. And sorry for inflicting this braindump.
