MODERATORS
What are they trying to achieve correcting someone like that? IME they always do it publicly (so not through friendly DM), and often say it with ridicule.
I would imagine they're trying to help you learn the correct way to spell? That's not a bad thing. Especially if it helps others understand the meaning of what you're trying to convey.
Ive never seen someone with a comment history pattern of doing that, only people choosing to do it the once. And if they're trying to help, why say it publicly and with ridicule?
Fair enough. I don't know your personal circumstances so can't comment. But if someone did that to me I wouldn't assume malicious intent. I just assume they're trying to engage and be friendly.
Yes, different perspectives I get it
Until it is mentioned (often afterwards), how would one know the person is neurodivergent? Is it fine to correct someone making those mistakes who are neurotypical?
I think how the correction is made is the differing factor, because you can never have complete information about the people you reply to on a platform like this.
On the other side, there is definitely a time and place to correct people for simple mistakes, especially if you still understand what they mean. Replying to someone asking for help in a matter is probably not one of those times. Replying to someone pointing out other mistakes or lack of knowledge, I think, is a fine place to make corrections (respectfully).
Especially if no one is called out by name and insults aren't being used.
Yep sadly that's often the case
