1 million messages. Holy hell.

Damn.. Is this something to celebrate? That's a lot of members that have been here.. A lot of people that have felt really suicidal.. But the good thing is that.. There's a lot of information? Hm. Anyways.. Something interesting.

I think it's more sad that we are in a position where there are this many members that feel the need to be here. It just shows how shitty life and circumstances can be for people.

There are roundabout 94.000 threads and 1,6 million messages.
So it is not that much. (compared to your number)

Balls.. I messed up. I can fix this!

I think that this is only something to celebrate if you get enjoyment out of other people's suffering which is disturbing. It's not shocking or interesting that people are suicidal, it's a fact of life, it's what to be expected. Having lots of information could possibly mean that there is misinformation about methods on here and of course that is a terrible thing. There should never be a need for suicide forums in the first place, it's tragic how N is not easily available for us and how we have to struggle so much in leaving this horrific world.

The more we are here, the longer we exist

disagree, you can celebrate because people have found this forum. There are many suicidal people who need a place like this to vent or to find viable methods.

Very approximately 1 million people per year complete a suicide. It takes a vast squadron of forum users years of posting to reach the same number.

I fear that big corporations may scrape and data mine the posts in this site to find profitable ways to show targeted ads to suicidal people.

Yes this is something to celebrate. People who are hurting, are finding comfort. Is this not cause to celebrate?

This was actually the subject of that Amazon controversy recently. The algorithm was suggesting SN or euthanasia books or something.

Only this million takes and does, albeit not always in a human way, for example, jumping under a truck. And here some people want CTB for years and don't do it.

Amazon folks must have gotten so mad at this. How could it be acceptable for them to create advertisements for one-time sells?

It's both a joke and serious. My worst fears are that companies may exploit suicidality in a profitable way, while incentivizing the person to remain in-between, forever, pushing ineffective recoveries as well as ineffective methods, maintaining their suicidality for as long as possible, as long as it's profitable

in modern capitalism, the more clustered we are, the better

it's disgusting

 

[Unending]

scrape reddit suicide notes to "detect suicidality in text."

This is just not okay. Also, that seems like a ridiculous goal to me as everyone expresses their feelings differently.

Oh my, that is just extraordinarily unsettling to think about..
