Welcome to c/disabled, an anticapitalist community for disabled people/people
with disability(s). What is disability justice? Disability justice is a
framework of activism which centers disabled people of multiple intersections.
Before participating in in this community, please read the Ten Principles of
Disability Justice.
[https://www.sinsinvalid.org/blog/10-principles-of-disability-justice] Do I
count as disabled/a person with disability(s)? "Disability" is an umbrella term
which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities,
neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities,
invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis
to consider yourself disabled. Follow the Rules: 1. This comm is open to
everyone. However, the megathread is only open to people who self-identify as
disabled/a person with disability(s). We center the experiences of disabled
people here, and if you are abled we ask that you please respect that. 2. Follow
the principles of disability justice, as outlined in the link above. 3. Zero
tolerance for ableism. That includes lateral ableism. Ableism will result in a
ban. 4. No COVID minimization. 5. Do not offer unsoliticed health advice. We do
not want to hear about the wonders of exercise or meditation, thank you very
much. Additionally, do not moralize health or "healthy choices". 6. If posting
an image, please write an image description
[https://uxdesign.cc/how-to-write-an-image-description-2f30d3bf5546] for our
blind/low vision comrades. (If doing this is inaccessible to you, DM one of the
mods and we will help.) 7. Please CW and spoiler tag discussions of ableism. 8.
When it comes to identify-first vs person-first language
[https://healthjournalism.org/blog/2019/07/identity-first-vs-person-first-language-is-an-important-distinction/],
respect the language that people choose for themselves. If someone wants to be
referred to as a disabled person, respect that. If someone wants to be referred
to as a person with a disability, respect that. 9. Try to avoid using ableist
language [https://www.autistichoya.com/p/ableist-words-and-terms-to-avoid.html].
It is always good to be mindful of the way language has been used to oppress and
harm people. 10. Follow the Hexbear Code of Conduct
[https://hexbear.net/code_of_conduct]. Let's kick back and have fun! As of
December 2025, there is a Matrix Chat Room that adheres to the same rules as the
community. If you want to join, it is an invite only server. Just knock to join.
Should you have trouble with the link, you can contact the mods for help:
