Yeah, sorry about the run-on sentence title, but I hope you get what I’m saying
Yes, I’m going to miss r/VXJunkies
I would try to set up a lemmy instance for VX but I can’t get the meta-combobulator to flange in sync :/
I’ve been trying to find an alternative to r/AskPsychology anywhere online because I’ve been trying to find statistics on how likely people with NPD and ASPD are to be abusive and be abused compared to the general population and have had no luck. Asking on places like Quora just results in dipshits and grifters screeching about how people with personality disorders are actual demons from literal hell (and in the latter case, shilling their blog, books, and webinars). ~Cherri
Hi, I’m not /r/AskPsychology but I am a psychologist who likes being asked things!
From a quick literature review, antisocial personality disorder does result in three times higher odds of committing violent offenses in general, and 2.5 times higher odds of being a repeat offender (Yu et al., 2012). Generally, personality disorders do increase the risk of someone committing partner abuse, especially Cluster B symptoms (Ehrensaft et al., 2006) Among men who abuse their wives, personality disorders are present in 50%-90% — especially anti-social, sadistic, and borderline (Hart et al., 2011) — despite personality disorders being only present in 15% of the population (Grant et al., 2004). Throughout, these effects are more pronounced in men, but also present to a rather large degree in women.
Less is known regarding whether people with personality disorders are more often victimised in their relationships. Borderline perdonality disorder in women seems to increase the risk of being abused by a partner by a factor of three though (Gilchrist et al., 2012). We also know that the overwhelming majority of people with personality disorders was abused during childhood (Johnson et al., 2001, etc.) and that victims of childhood abuse are much more likely to become victims of partner violence as adults (Gilchrist et al., 2012).
In summary — there is strong evidence that people with personality disorders are far more likely to be abusers than the average person. There is also evidence that they are also more likely to be victims by a similar factor compared to the average person, but that evidence is more scarce. Also, anti-social, borderline, and sadistic personality disorders are more strongly associated with abusers, and borderline with victims. There’s a lot of research still to be done.

That was me. I don’t really feel like modding. I was offered a few mod spots on reddit over the past 11 years, took up one or two, didn’t really enjoy it.
But if everyone feels that way, then lemmy can never reach critical mass. SO i bit the bullet, created a community and hopefully someone will be interested in modding if it ever grows big.
If anyone’s interested, I created maliciouscompliance (one of my favorite subs to lurk in). Mostly reposts for now, but OC should trickle in slowly.
Try joining from one of the links below:
/c/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance
Or type the following in the search bar at the top: !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
I really appreciate the work and contribution of everyone here, to make this a great place. :)
I’m waffling on making one for parenting… Moderating that sounds like a terrible idea though.
Somewhat ironic.
I have neither the time, nor confidence to mod; but I have wondered if we should make something like a “lemmy wishlist” for communities we’d like to see ported. Seems like a good way for the lemmy community to vote on and discuss communities they’d like to see, and connect to would-be mods
I decided to make this over at https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/lemmy_wishlist
How do I subscribe to it? I try to type it like this
https://lemm.ee/c/lemmy_wishlist@lemmy.blahaj.zoneBut it throws me 404. Meanwhile,
https://lemm.ee/c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zoneworks fine.
I believe this can happen if your instance (in this case lemm.ee) doesn’t yet know about the new community. But if you enter the full url (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/lemmy_wishlist) into your instance’s search, it should look for it and find it. Maybe you have to wait for a couple seconds but for me this usually works.
There was /r/soccerstreams but it was banned, unfortunately. Now it would be a good opportunity to bring it back again.
