schizospec communities with rules like "don't encourage shared delusions" piss me off because it makes the community hostile to people without double bookkeeping abilities. not everyone can recognize that their delusions are delusions and even if they can it's not usually as simple as that sounds.
if someone starts talking about one of my delusions my reaction will be "finally someone who understands the truth!" even if I know that most people think that my belief is a delusion because it doesn't feel like a delusion. it feels true. that's the whole idea behind delusions. you believe they're true. if you don't believe they're true, it's not a delusion.
I avoid communities like that because they're unwelcoming to so many people on the schizospec, including me. I don't want to be berated for having a psychotic episode in a community for people who experience psychotic episodes. that would also definitely spiral out of control. telling me that my delusion is a delusion makes me defensive because you're doing the equivalent of insisting the sky isn't blue and telling me I can't talk about the sky being blue.
it's creating a community for only the most neurotypical-passing schizospec people and that's fucked up.
if you're running a schizospec community you have to accept that people will be delusional there. if you can't handle running a community where people will be delusional then don't run a community for a group of people where the vast majority experience delusions.
