No one here is truly fake. (Now are there some trolls and troublemakers? Sure. But if they are trolling here, they certainly have issues of their own).
That's not reality. People who are here are here because they support the right of choice when it comes to suicide, and they come to have a discussion without censorship about suicide. It's not perfect, and I acknowledge that. But many of the users here also suffer from mental illnesses, I myself have severe PTSD and depression. There's nothing wrong with that and we don't allow shaming of it on this forum. This forum and community has a certain ecosystem, and with that there can be some clashing, fighting, drama, and things certainly taken far far out of context.
A good portion of people are here because they want to die, some are passively suicidal, some are actively suicidal. Some aren't suicidal, some just support the right of others to take their lives.
Quite a few good members have left via the bus.
Burning Lights
Gee
Hikikomori and that is just naming a few. It's been a tough couple weeks for everyone, because this month I know that three great members have caught the bus. I know it's been hard on me.
Just because you aren't actively trying to catch the bus doesn't mean you're a 'fake' or a 'fraud.' I'm personally passively suicidal, and I have been apart of the r/ss community for a very very long time. I support the right of choice. Please continue to post here, and please continue to be apart of this community. Each of you are valued, and each of your contributions make this community a better place.
