I have simply switched instances. The server owner for autism.place disappeared one day, and that instance went under. As for leaving LW it is as i’ve mentioned above an occasion to de-centralise the fediverse a little.

I am not in America but, people in more artsy places seem more open minded. Things like painting workshops, theatre clubs, and such. I would also try looking online for autistic or queer advocacy groups in your general area.

Thanks for noticing, it is fixed now.

I think having one central instance is bad for the fediverse as a whole.

The link should be included in the sidebar now!

update: i have done so here

I Don’t think it is. the people I worked here with in the past have disappeared or moved on. I might try to create an alternative on dbzer0
