Just for fun and out of curiosity, what are your top 5 pros and cons of being on sasu?

I'm sure being on the forum has both It's good and bad sides like with most things in life, but what is yours? They don't have to be in order btw.

Here is mine:

Pros:
-You get understood in a way no one else irl ever could
-Can vent ur suicidal thoughts and ideations without being talked out of it nor rejected, and without any risks of hospitalization
-Can vent almost anything without judgment
-Once you make friends on here they'll be true friends who'll stick up for you no matter what
-Chill staff who'll try to understand instead of insta banning everyone and everything, after all, ppl often have their reasons for shitty behavior, not to say there is any exuse for it but yk sometimes compassion goes a long way.

Cons:
-Loosing friends to ctb, when ur on a suicide forum it's only a question of time before you'll experience this, and while most of us respect their decision we will still experience grief witch is rough, that's called being human
-Predators, just uggh! >_<
-Ppl live far away from each other making it hard to ever meet irl, sad.
-pro-lifers constantly trying to shut the site down through articles, hacking etc. It never ends, does it? >_<
-Depending on your posts and comments, there is always a risk of facing legal trouble coz pro-lifers yk yk :/

I've only been on here very briefly but I'm enjoying my time here

Pros:
- I now feel very peaceful about the concept of death. I'm coming to terms with it a bit better
- I'm not getting as frustrated about wanting to die without any way to talk about it.
- SS has helped bring me back to earth a little. Everyone here does a great job of helping people think rationally and logically. I'm not spiraling in my depression and if I do just hopping onto the forums calms me a bit.
- Everyone understands what we're all going through.
- Every single message gets a react which, far more so than any other website or talking to friends irl, is extremely comforting. I guess it's because so many of us understand what it's like to be alone

Cons:
- Like I said I haven't been here long, but when I see someone say they lost a friend from here recently I feel both sad and happy for them.
- The concept of people stalking this site trying to spy/report people for their misguided "help" is scary
- I'm worried about getting my hopes up here...
