It’s complicated, but you’ll pick it up as you go. I’m pretty cautious about discussing what is or isn’t a dogwhistle out in the open because, like you said, people are watching for eachother to slip up.

Okay you probably aren’t into anything that would scare most people, it’s just easy to draw certain folk’s ire. There have been conversations had in this space recently about it. Good luck, I know you’ll make some friends soon 🙂

Hey, yes 100%. Also I know exactly that when people read all this they’re going to read it in the worst possible light. There’s a lot of language that one learns to self-censor because you know people are looking to classify you as something and place you on a hierarchy so sometimes it’s better just to give them as little info as possible.

I don’t want to examine your political beliefs or why you think you’re a centrist. There’s probably something going on there that I’d rather not know about but I want you to know it happens to all kinds of neurodiverse people. We don’t give the correct signals and today everyone is going by vibes to determine who is an ally.

Lurk around. Find the helpers, and protect your peace. Also you should note on the fediverse there’s a diverse range of servers with different askquestion communities. You’ll get a wide range of responses characteristic of the instance you post on.
