The Dredge Tank
The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
I think this is a problem with the “cynically use” part more-so than the “self-diagnosis” part. I know you didn’t say all self-diagnosis was bad, but I wanted to share a bit about mine. My self-diagnosis helped me:
I would have been happy to get a formal diagnosis, but the only person who does adult autism diagnoses within a 2 hour drive of me charges $2k for the privilege and doesn’t accept insurance. All the resources around here are for autistic children. On one hand, I was happy that my son had so many resources. On the other, it makes me wish that I’d had this revelation a lot sooner.
