I just jumped to another instance. Feels good now that stuff loads again. This sucks right now, but it's probably good for Lemmy in the long run. Load should be spread across instances, and this forces people to move. I've also noticed that I now see some stuff that I couldn't anymore on Lemmy.world, so it's better overall.

I'm often quite dominant in discussions and tend to strongly defend my position when I consider the other options to be wrong. However, my second issue is that I struggle to accept new ideas sometimes. This combination can leave me in a place where I heavily fight against a new idea, purely because I'm not fully convinced why it'll improve things. As I learn more about it, sometimes I'll see why it's actually a good idea and I'll cringe about my staunch resistance to it. I'm getting better at suppressing that initial reaction, but sometimes it's hard since I really feel like we're doing the wrong thing. I also think it's related to being autistic, as black an white thinking, resistance to change, and valuing facts over the feelings of others are all things that often come with autism. Nevertheless I really want to tone it down a bit.
