So to be clear you take issue with the text in the quoted paragraph? Or is the act of doing what's in the quoted paragraph cool but calling it diagnosis isn't?

If the former, what do you propose people should do who don't have the means to pursue a formal diagnosis, or are on a waiting list and suffering in the interim?

...what? I agree with you?

I even shared an anecdote about my own self diagnosis? I'm genuinely baffled that you just lash out at someone who agrees with you.

"Diagnosing" yourself is a step along the way to finding behavioural applications that help you. I would never have even begun to start pursuing half the things that have helped me if I didn't see a bunch of people sharing their experience as autistic and go "oh shit, might I be autistic?".

What you are referring to as "telling people to diagnose themselves" is actually just encouraging people to look inward and outward, find common themes between themselves and others, and use those findings to inform what they can do to help themselves and those around them.

If, in fact, you don't take any issue with that and its instead just the word "diagnosis" that you take issue with, then I have no right to stop you from being that pedantic but there are better hills to die on.

I can imagine the keyboard controls sucking.

And yeah, those messages are exactly the thing that makes the vibe so cozy. You're failing again and again and the game keeps encouraging you, believing in you.

Oh hell yes. The game pushes you to heights you never thought you'd achieve. And its there to catch you every time you fall.

I think that farewell and the c-sides are some of the most enjoyable, challenging, and rewarding gaming experiences I've ever had. Keep it up!

Celeste! One of the best games ever made, with a flawless Linux native version

I don't feel like its too closed off, no, I appreciate how closed off it is!

A reminder that Microsoft coined the term "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" and they are going to continue doing this on purpose

I love fudge, but too much of it isn't pleasant.

Anti plastic propaganda is a hilarious sentiment. I'm sure it exists, but we aren't meant to have plastic in our testicles.

Being fat and sedentary is also a problem, but two (or more) problems can exist and all require attention.

Its incredibly difficult to join beehaw without knowing what its about. When you apply to join they explain what it is and ensure that you're actually, like, on board with the mission. I can understand the sentiment of users finding themselves underwhelmed and leaving if they don't understand why.

As someone with accounts on other instances, I've definitely encountered far more bigotry and bad faith arguments off-beehaw than on-beehaw. For some people, which would appear to include you, encountering the asshole and blocking and moving on is sufficient, and that's fine and awesome for them. But for others who may be part of marginalised communities or particularly vulnerable, the bubble of safety and curation that beehaw offers is so tremendously valuable.
