the mods of r/autism banned me for repeatedly calling them out on their bullshit bc they wouldn't address it. It's incredible, no matter the neurotype, mods are always the same hypocritical powertripped manchildren who never take accountability bc they think they are god for managing a subreddit. I pity them really, and i can proudly say that for all that is worth, that even if i have my problems at least I'm not one of those pathetic slobs.

What was the BS?

[–] madamarie@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (5 children)

letting people share autismspeaks funded articles without repercussion, not only is it against the rules but also damages autistic people, and i couldn't let that slide

In that case: Thank you for speaking up and good riddance. A shame they're not taking their position seriously and do what they're supposed to do: Abide by the rules and making sure all participants do so, too. There's real harm coming from letting autism speaks propaganda stand like that.
