neurodiverse
What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

"The west has fallen" was a joke about one of the most prestigious publications in the west publishing this (though this was not actually Nature, just another publication they own and put their name on). Lazy and fraudulent researchers exist everywhere (as you pointed out in another comment in this thread).
Nature isn't really a western journal in any meaningful sense. Scientific publishing is pretty international.
Also this isn't the nature, it's nature's open access journal which is a scam by which researchers pay huge amounts of money to have unpaid researchers review their article for free and nature doesn't paywall it as thanks.
Scientific publishing is in the toilet. Science is deeply hierarchical and metric driven, actual science is done by the idealistic and the entrenched, or by accident by people climbing the ladder.
It's an originally British journal, owned by a British company, owned by a British-German parent company. The vast, vast majority of the editors are born in, educated in, or employed in western countries, mostly all 3 from what I can tell.
Yes, I pointed this out in my comment as well. It's all a scam lmao, they want to have it both ways - a prestigious journal and infinite money from pay-to-publish attached to the name of the prestigious journal.
