To be more precise, people here are more like themselves and don't use self-censorship, communicating like bots.

Adhd and autism are only considered disorders in the dsm 5, which there are many papers written about how it's a failure There's a reason people call those neurodivergences and not something like schizophrenia.
Sure? But most times I've seen someone being rude it's because they totally missed what the other person is saying. Which is extremely common with autism which is extremely common on lemmy. It has nothing to do with being right or wrong or stupid or smart, that's just how they interpreted the other persons words. Again not saying there ISN'T groupthink and tribalism, but 95% of the time I've said something politely and with evidence I have not been downvoted or removed.
example: (I don't comment on politics that often)
A websites users downvoting and removing comments is not fascism because a website is not a government, and was not ordered to by the government. If the FCC threatens a broadcasting company because they don't like what someone said, that IS a fascist action because it's a government agency threatening a private company for saying something the government agency didn't like. If the president breaks the law and ignores court orders, that IS a fascist action. Same with firing all judges that don't agree with the president, same with denying to swear in certain elected officials, that is centralization of power. If someone does 8 by definition fascist things, and someone else does 0, if I call the first person a fascist I'm not calling everything I don't like fascist, and the word has meaning because those WERE fascist actions. You can say it's unfair because it's only 8 fascist actions, but that doesn't mean they're calling everyone a fascist, just people who took 8 fascist actions in a row.
Also "I will not tolerate the intolerant" is not the same as "I will not tolerate trans/gay people existing, or people trying to say that's wrong." There is space for differing opinions as long as your opinion doesn't infringe on other people existing. I can say something like I think we should spend more on schools than climate change, but I can't say I think trans people are fake, or gay people are an abomination, or say climate change is a hoax. Would you prefer a society where an every day conversation is "should nagijala exist? It's a horrible thing to be one of those people. Truly disgusting, it's an affront to God." And you hear that daily and fear for your life? Or allow vaccine misinformation so measles come back like it is in Florida. Personally I don't want to live in that society. I have also never had my comment deleted and rarely get downvoted, while expressing a different opinion to the majority in almost every comment. I can show examples if you want.
