Look at the way people communicate here, how little empathy they show, the complete sense of humour, how anal they can be about not about the big picture that the other person is arguing for but, say, choice of words, someone's formulation of a sentence, use of the oxford comma, whatever really.

Then tell me if this site is not the largest community for autistic software developers, diagnosed or not.

This is in no way meant as an offence to anyone.

Signed: someone also on the spectrum.

I'm not a native English speaker. Fun fact: In my comma-heavy mother tongue I almost completely exclude its use. Not sure how this came to be.

I honestly see more of that on reddit. 90% of reddit users seem to treat every conversation as a debate they feel compelled to win.

Hear, hear!

Some people’s insecurities make them allergic to (admittedly tenuous) attempts at humor in face of absurdities and so they downvote as if they’re on Reddit.

Alternate reading; you're just not funny.

This was funny - upvoted!

The internet is a harsh mistress.
