  • The trick to enjoy curated content via RSS is to subscribe to sources that curate your content rather than to raw news sources, e.g. subscribe a blog of a person that does important news reviews rather than to a newspaper raw feed. Otherwise the classic mailbox-like RSS reader experience indeed requires you to sift through content on your own and aggressively. That said, some commercial readers do try to algorithmically prioritize content based on your interest or offer discovery functions (a different kind of experience than direct community-based sorting of course, but there’s trade offs here)





  • I’ve seen way too much “well gee you’re holding a conversation with me, there’s no way your autistic”

    Twice in my life I tried to start a conversation on this topic with a medical mental health professional, like “Doctor, this feels relatable, can we…”, and both times the reaction was basically “we’ve talked for 10 minutes and that’s definitely not relevant, I won’t even ask you where that came from or explain why”, in a way that made me feel like a bad person even for considering. And then proceeded to blame me for any follow up miscommunications… One time this was a “specialist” on the subject and I fear for any kids coming to them, they were all around a condescending patronizing asshole that could not even be on time 90% of the meetings
