For comparison, Kiwifarms is a site devoted to harassment and hatefulness, especially towards neurodivergent and LGBTQ people and such.
When I said “the opposite of Kiwifarms”, I mean a site dedicated to celebrating neurodivergent and LGBTQ people. rather than harassing them.
Celebrating, or hating,someone for characteristics outside their control is really weird to me.
Sites like the one mentioned aren’t worth giving time or attention, even mentally. My mind short circuits into thinking the same about sites celebrating the same.
I’d be awfully annoyed if someone went around celebrating me for having brain damage, as if I’m some prop to be hoisted around.
Instead I’d prefer we’d focus on building sites and communities where such things don’t matter, and where we can all give each other enough leeway to get along amicably.
I’m aware it’s a pipe dream, and people just aren’t good at that, myself included, but the idea is dear to me.
You make an excellent point.
Perhaps, instead of “celebrating”, the opposite of “[vicious] harassment and [ignorant] hatefulness” is virtuous identification and commitment to learning. Thoughts?
I love that sentiment. I feel learning about things I don’t have any familiarity with, be it cultural, historical, physical, or anything else really helps me understand and empathise better.

Is the domain “smrafiwik.net” taken?
You wanted the opposite of Kiwi Farms so I typed it backwards.
