I think so. On other platforms you get banned if you mention suicide. Even for very mild things like "I want to have assisted suicide". In many forums the rules say this is prohobited. Moreover the reaction of the members are horrible on this topic. They treat you like an insane one and leave hurtful comments.
I think the smearing of the media brings along a special allure to this forum. Guests and lurkers want to watch these evil weirdos and their alleged death cult. Always when a topic is suppressed and censored people find it interesting. Most humans have the instinct to gawk at other (suffering) people. No wonder there are many interested people watching when someone wants to jump of a high public building. It is kind of a spectacle. As in the middle age when criminals were publicly tortured. This was a huge event and I think even minors watched them.
If the topic was not that stigmatized people would not be that attracted to this website. If you could talk openly about it in self-help groups or for example on facebook and would not have to fear negative consequences this forum would lose a part of its attraction.
Though this probably won't happen in the near future. The regulation of the internet seems to become way worse instead of better. Even in niche forums the censorship increases. Only because the elites and society find that topic too sad and negative. They can't accept this is part of the human nature. Some people suffer to an extreme amount of pain. These adults should have the right to choose the end of this suffering. No one of us ever signed a contract to live on no matter what.
