Sorry to poke my head in here, but if you could point me in the direction on how to communicate better with my 16yo son who is “high functioning?” On the spectrum? He’s into “gangsta lifestyle?” But anyways there’s too much to unpack. I support him and love him, and I think he knows it but I’d like to be able to help him more. All the ? Marks are because I’m not sure of the terms or if they offend, I’m just trying to ask for help. Thank you

In my move over to lemmy I got nostalgic for how some older things were done, what you might be talking about are FAQs for specific topics like we had in the Usenet days. If this interests you, I have a new community started for collecting and creating those kinds of things. Not much there yet but I’ll grow it over time and would love for others to contribute.

And a shameless plug for my other community https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/bbses

Thanks for joining and posting! Yes this shake up with Reddit has led me to rekindle the old love for the rough edge of free networks. I’m excited to try all the “new” options and explore some of the older options modernized. Possibly start a new bbs as well but with modern options to old systems. I also ran a bbs back in the day with other locals and even a school sanctioned one, right around the time “freenets” we’re becoming a thing and e-mail/Usenet we’re just taking off. Not sure, for now I’m enjoying the exploration!

Adding another link if there is any interest https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/faqs

Welcome. I think the resurgence is some of us are bored with having a few major platforms regurgitate the same content and ads while gobbling up our lives as content. I personally miss the exploration of finding a new, open, and public service. Lemmy seems interesting, newish, and cumbersome enough that I’m excited to see how it evolves. It’s also rekindled my curiosity from the BBS days, the beginning of email and web browsers, when Usenet was full of FAQs and everyone wanted to share things they knew and were good at. They weren’t “better days”, things were hard to figure out, there are always bad actors, but it felt like a more tiered sharing to me. So like they always like to yell on large platforms, if you don’t like how the platform works/behaves create your own. So this is as good a time as any for us to create a new community the way we like it.
