Question:

What are your favorite resources about #neurodivergence? (#ADHD, #ASD, #dyslexia, #OCD, #cPTSD, etc)

(Articles, books, videos, podcasts, tools, posts, accounts to follow, apps, etc.)

Putting together a list of recommendations on my newsletter, and would love to supplement with things the #neurodivergent community here likes

Question for y’all: what’s your favorite website?

Bonus points if it’s a smaller or more niche website that most people wouldn’t know about.

I view myself as an example of somebody that many in the #Fediverse would have probably given up on.

I'm a marketer. I've enjoyed the corporate social media platforms. So you'd look at me year ago, and you'd think: "now, this person would never join #Mastodon, she'd never care about the Fediverse".

But I did join! And I am advocating for the #openweb now.

Honestly, I view myself as an example of somebody that a lot of people on in the Fediverse would have probably given up on. They would have probably not considered me as somebody that could have ever joined or cared. I'm a marketer. So I represent the corporate interests. In many ways. For many people. I am a tech marketer, I've often really enjoyed the corporate social media platforms, like you'd look at me year ago, and you think: "now, like, this person would never join Mastodon, she'd never bother, she would never become an advocate for it". But I did join! I didn't really know what I was getting into. I just wanted to keep up with some people. And now I care a lot and I keep trying to learn more. And I've taught other people about it and people are listening. You get 100 Mariyas out there, and you know that you're starting to make a difference, right? You get 1000 Mariyas out there, you know, something's actually going to happen. It's a movement.

I haven't been following it very closely but looks like Mastodon's monthly active user count climbed back up to 2.1M over the last couple of weeks. Not far off from our last peak!

Developers and anyone working in #softwareEngineering:

What do you like to read for work or in your spare time? (That's related to your job or code more generally). Trying to get a list of content that's actually good and read by real people vs propped up by algorithms.

Send links if possible or give names of sites / blogs / creators.

Thank you!

Okay, question for the #Fediverse and #Mastodon:

What is social media for? Both as you see it in general and for you. Why are you on here? Why are you / aren’t you on other social media platforms?

Thank you all!
