It's a very specific subset of neurodivergents, tbh. I don't see much discussion around typically geeky topics. On Reddit, if I had a fleeting thought or question about a fictional world, I had /r/asksciencefiction. On the fediverse? No such board. The answer to that is "Oh just create it", but I don't have the time or the attention span to moderate such a place.

    While that may be true, for some of us the simple IDEA of maybe needing to do something in the future that you might mess up is demotivating enough to prevent action. For that reason and many others, I appreciate people like you who make things happen.

    TBH this disappeared on Reddit too. All my preferred fandom subs are now cesspools, with zero depth in fandom knowledge yet weird, cultish worshipping of the material. Bigger general subs feel like bot farms.

    Piefed's /c/television is 1000x better.

    But the best places on the internet for that are probably the TVTropes forums, SpaceBattles, and other "surviving" fiction boards.

    When it comes to "traditionally geeky topics" I might have been looking for that stuff at most other points of my life. And if somebody gets into some dorky lore discussion on here today I might participate.

    But for me, and I would wager it's the same with MANY people on Lemmy, the last decade has made me very much not interested in filling my social interactions with banter about which billion-dollar global brands are the most dank.

    As an example, I am still very interested in technology that I can learn about and do things with. I am very much not interested in products from tech companies.

    Or in another area, I still have a soft spot for old Star Wars and especially Lucasarts games like TIE Figther and X-Wing Alliance. I will always keep my old copies of those and probably play them every several years. But I don't even know what Star Wars content is in development right now.

    I don’t know probably is more that those of us on here. Don’t place much value on answers to things like that. So yeah, a different subset of neurodivergent people.

    (Speech to text my apologies)
