Lemmy is not neurotypical and it shows up with various discussions. Discussions here tend to assume autism or AuDHD as typical behavior, when it is only typical for the group of people assembled here.
- Also half of all lemmings are transgender. No idea why.
  
  The chemicals in the protocols are turning the nerds gay
  
  Woke and DEI, is why. Now put the damn socks on and get to work. Once Arch is installed, you may indulge in one Blåhaj
  
  Yes! Meow meow.
  
  Ok, uh… is this, like, a… catgirl thing? That's a thing, innit? Catgirl femboy? Catboy? Catfemboy? Just a catgirl?
  Honestly, this is what I get for making too many references not applicable to me.
  I did try Arch at some point. Didn't work out, even though I was following instructions online. Probably because I didn't have the socks. I still don't have 'em.
  
  You should get the socks and try again.
  
  Eh, I'm not that interested in Arch. I have Pop!_OS, and it just works (unlike Manjaro, that broke at least once every six months). I was installing it on an older laptop, just for the sake of it (not sure if I would've used it later on)
  Also, I'm sure it'd be hella sus to get striped thigh-high socks. Especially with such warm days (we have coloured heat warnings 'round these parks!) Installing Arch I can explain, and no one would care. Just tech nerd mumbo jumbo, who gives a shit. Why I need long, colourful socks?! …
  Other than that, yeah, I'd do it. Fun socks and computers? Fuck yeah! I mean, not with this heat. But come colder days? Fuck yeah!
  
  Trans people are almost attacked or banned all other platforms or at least astroturfed, it does make sense
  
  That's fair. Is Reddit also like that now? I haven't used it in a couple of years.
  
  Yep, I'm not trans but one of the main reasons I stopped even visiting reddit was how much transphobia there is everywhere. Like I used to be in a ton of LGBTQ+ subs and it was even showing up in there. I'm not about that life.
