    As an autistic dude, I feel like I know that it’s weird too say, but I also feel like it makes sense. Like it’s hard to quantify x% better, but I’m sure there is a number, for me at least, where if someone is that much better and would date me, I’d do it. It’s not romantic to say, but it’s true. And I’ve been dumped for other people twice so the same must have been true for them.

    It just feels like one of the thousands of unspoken rules you’re not allowed to talk about out of politeness. But honestly I would like to know that number for my SO.





  • Joined in 2011, used it pretty much everyday for 12 years. Probably an average of 3+ hours per day, though I’d constantly find myself closing the app or website down just to open it back up 5 minutes later. Since the app closed down and I don’t really use my desktop anymore I’ve just stopped using it. I will still Google questions from reddit occasionally if I can’t find good answers elsewhere, but in the past 2 months I’ve maybe visited the site 10 times, and only for specific questions, never to browse the front page. I’d say it’s been good for me overall and, I’ve cut down from like 3-4 hours a day on reddit to maybe an hour a day between here and lemmy.

    I hoped to replace reddit with reading and while it hasn’t been completely successful I have been getting like 3 hours of reading per week, which is a lot better than the like 30 minutes a week (maybe) I used to get. I also feel my attention span has gotten better. With less stuff to see I tend to actually read the majority/all of an article instead of just the headline or skimming the first few paragraphs.
