Do you mind if I pin this topic to the top of /c/autism for a few days to increase visibility?

Go for it!
Done!
Nice! I've added your community to our sidebar. I also request that you add us to yours, though we'll keep you on ours even if you don't. Feel free to hit us up if you have any questions or concerns moderating.
I hope your community becomes successful!
Thanks! Of course I will and I didn't even think of that
You're welcome, and thank you too!
Kbin needs a version of this. I'm trying to avoid Lemmy, what with all of the Russian supporters.
Make your own! Everyone needs a place, and if you believe you can't support lemmy then there are likely others. You'd be helping them too.
I don't engage with that topic of conversation so I didn't know that's how it was seen. I'm sure there are plenty of supporters on other instances too. I view it as picking my battles. Reddit was one I picked. I can't pick this one because as a woman I have too many heartbreaking battles going on and I can't add that one too. Does that make sense?
It's Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad that have the Russia supporters. There's a lot of other Lemmy instances without them. They are just as likely to show up here as they are on a kbin magazine, since they are all federated.
I would hate for you to leave/avoid our community, but I understand if you want to abide by your ethical principles. I made a /c/OutOfTheLoop post to gather more information since I've heard rumors related to your concern. You can review it here: https://lemmy.world/post/310513
