  • If your feed has lots of ai i would also recommend blocking some posters, though in my experience lemmy has way more anti ai and downvoting of annything ai then whatever is left of the mainstream networks.

    Another recomendation is to join a smaller instance you align with, you will have a much better experience.

    Yes we do go rather hard left. Especially when it comes to the only war that counts, the class war, ruling elites versus the exploited masses. Its part of what makes this place so refreshing because corporate media heavily dislikes the need for global change. Causing people that agree to flock here.

    And yes you can easily get radicalized here, another thing which is refreshing is how up front and not secretive people are about the fact we do alot of self propaganda for our personal flavor of ideals. After all lemmy is not for children (suprisingly many older people) you have to form your own opinions and people tend to be (on average) more respectfull towards diversity in idealogy. You don’t get insta downvoted as much as you get honest replies of someone wanting to discuss it.










  • My 15+ years of research on the topic is solid tyvm.

    My understanding of both biochemistry, psychology and autism itself is also advanced enough to form an educational opinion on any research i read.

    The facts i give you can easily be verified and have absolutely nothing to do with big pharma.

    I have to question your ability to perform research because it seems to be “Everything that disagrees with my initial belief is conspiracy”

    I am very anti big pharma btw, some of the drugs they give neurodivergent kids are incredibly dangerous. They simply dont have annything to do with causing autism.


  • Thats a cute observation but real facts are the following:

    • Autism was only formally recognized in the 1940s - there’s no reliable data before that, though historical evidence suggests autistic people have always existed. For decades, people deemed “mentally ill” were institutionalized and hidden from society.

    • The majority of autistic people can mask their traits and present as neurotypical - they had strong incentives to do so given the historical stigma.

    • Diagnosis happens more frequently in areas with accessible healthcare, which naturally are also areas with higher vaccination rates.

    • We now have better diagnostic tools and a less punitive society for people with neurological differences. The diagnostic criteria have expanded significantly - many people (especially women) who wouldn’t have qualified under older definitions now do.

    And if we want to include the more modern research done by the autistic community we learn that autism is a part of a bigger phenomenon called neurodivergence which includes adhd and many others. Who also used to be completely excluded by the dogmatic labeling of neurotypicals.

    Also you referring to autism as a serious disease shows how little you actually know about it. Just like anyone else neurodivergent people can have psychological disabilities but because they are neurodivergent those disabilities are often different from neurotypical ones. In ““high functioning”” autism disabilities are subjective in context of living in a neurotypical world and are increasingly less disabling with social acceptance and understanding.


  • Feels weird that i have to explain this, but not all Research is funded by big pharma.

    The majority of research on autism is not about Vaccins either but about understanding the many properties from which it emerges.

    By understanding what autism actually is, which is often studied by autistic researchers who are motivated to understand themselves better it becomes self evident that we are far from reaching a technological point where we can create a drug to cause or even simulate the complex nature of it.

    You could just aswell claim that vaccins cause people to shapeshift into cats, if you understand the subject matter thats just as non-realistic

    If you want to bash vaccines you could state that an experimental accidental wrong mixed variant could cause death. Which would still be an incredibly unlikely freak accident but at least reality allows the technical possibility for such a mistake.


  • Autist here who loves to read research about autism.

    There is absolutely no correlation between autism and vaccines. Neurodivergence cannot be caused by immune system problems.

    People are born autistic with a brain programmed by their DNA to form alternative neurological connections compared to neurotypicals. A neurotypical cannot be turned/mutated into being autistic and vice versa.

    The only correlation that exists is that people who are neurodivergent are prone to develop some unhealthy habits (from extra stress, sleep schedules, and being a picky eater etc) which in turn can lower your immune system.


  • If your library is on other platform like gog, epic, amazon or off platform .exe you can use heroic launcher and for most stuff it works just as well.

    For some games there is a little more learning curve because you have to translate custom steam configurations found on protondb to do the same thing in heroic but overall you actually have way more control then steam.

    The only reason “id think twice” is if you play lots of games with anticheat which does not work on every distro (like arch btw).



  • I am no psychologist but it’s about how their day night cycle develops which is very different from adults.

    Daylight is one of the systems it uses to self regulate and start feeling awake.

    School actually starts to soon in many places, that already a major part of it. Research (not at hand) actually show grades go up if school starts later. We basically force kids to be tired to fit our schedule and it gets worse for teens.

    With delayd sunlight. They wont really be properly awake for almost half their “productive” day”.

    We also know that lack of sleep is a pillar of mental health conditions, now include all the dormant mental health conditions kids already carry and with growing up in this timeline.



  • Yes i know, from the perspective of others i got sidetracked but its part of a larger thing in my brain where intellectual property is a symptom of the capitalist disease. I mentioned the autism thing, we tend to connect dots on all scales.

    I could go on and explain how IP can actually become a form of thought police. (Things being invented just to cencor them/The creator of Disco Elysium being banned to publish things from his own paracosm universe) but to be honest your replies have been lacking substance and i am rather tired of defending this towards someone who is not going to change their right. (Which is your right, i respect your entitlement to your beliefs)
