    I believe there is a high percentage of autistic/neurodivergent people on lemmy… I’ve noticed a lot of awkward comments too.

      I mean… not sure there’s a correlation there. Also just slightly offensive. Plenty of neurotypical people who are just as arrogant and self absorbed. Being on the spectrum has absolutely nothing to do with it.

      Source: I am literally autistic.

        I didn’t mean any offense, I apologize. What’s interesting is that you interpreted it as arrogant, where I saw it as lack of social awareness… nitpicking a meme and “thinking out loud” comes across as awkward to me, personally.
