The site surely rewards us with titles since you can literally choose your title to whatever you want and activity doesn't give you special onesHoly shit, this the dumbest one yet LMAO. They say the site "rewards" us with titles, as if anyone notices or gives a shit about being a student or a wizard, etc.
amazing work from famed journalist pluto
they should have looked here:In these types of threads, some members try to intervene, offering up reasons and ways for the initial poster to stay alive. However, these are lay bystanders, not trained in trying to talk someone down, with no idea of where this unwell person lives or how to alert local emergency services to the unfolding disaster. The forum promotes a "recovery resources" list, but none include traditional mental health services or suicide helplines, more often comprising disparate titbits of advice cobbled together by pro-suicide site members.
you cant blame us for Tom not telling pplTom had not shared his suicidal thoughts with those closest to him, who doubtless would have done whatever they could to try to keep him alive and alerted local healthcare services that could have potentially helped him. Instead, he, like so many other people might, turned online for anonymous support.
whats the problem here?? they made because of anonymity?? what about twiter and tictok or any other social media account can be anonymous, who uses there full name in any forum??Normally, when I encounter a hateful internet troll, I tap on their profile and begin to get a gauge of who they are and work out, very quickly, what's led them to spread such harm online. But that wouldn't work on this forum; the anonymity of the site means I couldn't even use my research skills to alert local services to each member's misery.
Members are stratified by the number of posts they've made. A "Student" will have under 200 posts to their name, while "Wizard" is for users who've made over 600 posts. The titles "Enlightened", "Visionary", "Illuminated", "Angelic" and "Archangel" are bestowed on those who've posted at least a thousand times. One "Archangel" has posted over 9,000 times over a period of three and a half years, amounting to around 200 posts a month or seven posts a day.
That is absolutely infuriating to read as someone who has made so many posts over the years about actively feeling so much fucking pain about what my death will do to my loved ones as well as actively trying to do everything in my power to minimize the pain that it will cause. How fucking disgusting of them to try and say we are "unappreciative" of the pain. I have stayed alive for years and years for my family. I have now been in consecutive inpatient treatment that has left me with nothing but worse mental health and trauma for my family. I have done research upon research to try and make the logistics of my death easier on my family so that they don't have to try and deal with those alongside the emotional pain it will bring. That is appalling to read."Though some members talk of their reluctance to leave loved ones behind, there is an acute lack of appreciation for the pain their premature death could cause to others."
Man these people are so stuck up their own ass. Why would someone who is suffering and wanting to die live solely for their "loved ones" who are often times linked to their despair anyway? I personally hope my parents feel like shit once I ctb. And I could care less about people that really dgaf about me
Heyy! I liked being a wizard for a day!They say the site "rewards" us with titles, as if anyone notices or gives a shit about being a student or a wizard, etc.
Almost as if many of us have extensive personal experience with traditional mental health crisis resources and realize they aren't effective. The suicide hotline has told hung up on me or told me to try painting or eating and see if it ends my intense emotional crisis before ending the chat. Or the years of being in and out inpatients that have severely traumatized and belittled and dehumanized me. Sometimes tidbits of information from someone who understands is significantly more effective at pulling someone down off the ledge than some stranger on a suicide hotline reading off a script or walking into the ER and being treated like a prisoner.The forum promotes a "recovery resources" list, but none include traditional mental health services or suicide helplines, more often comprising disparate titbits of advice cobbled together by pro-suicide site members.
its totally not aesthetic at all, if i set it as moderator i can 100% ban everyone!!!View attachment 177676
funny how they forgot to say what's right below the info about ranks....
That therapy worshipping attitude makes me absolutely insane as someone who both worked in and was treated in the public mental health system. This author is one who, like many, glorifies therapy and therapists as if they're our shamans or something. And crisis responders are elevated to something like savior status and are expected to resolve anything. I *was* a crisis responder and all I could offer was hospitalization or making a plan for how to get through the night. It was the most defeating, frustrating work because there was nothing I could do. The resources to help people as troubled and suicidal as SaSu regulars just don't exist.Almost as if many of us have extensive personal experience with traditional mental health crisis resources and realize they aren't effective.

I don't know why people are so scared of this place being criticized (I'm prepared for "user reacted withWhy are any of y'all even gobbling up this ragbait? The original source is The Daily Telegraph, a conservative right wing outlet with a history of climate change denialism and publishing actual fake news (those are links, for anyone on light mode. Open them).
Also major outlet "reporting" exists only to make money.
Just fucking ignore this latest serving of bs.
People criticize the ethnics of 4chan, kiwifarms, lolcow, and reddit snark all the time yet they still exist. This site doesn't technically break American law so it's very likely that it'll stay up for a very, very long time.
Hahaha this sounds like one of those "I'm-14-and-this-is-deep" pseudo-philosophical BS. Like....is the journalist implying that in order for something to be a "choice," it necessarily has to open up other choices??Holy shit, this the dumbest one yet LMAO. They say the site "rewards" us with titles, as if anyone notices or gives a shit about being a student or a wizard, etc.
"Deciding to die can be a choice, yes, but what choice is any if it obliterates your chances to ever make another choice again?"
HWAT DOES THIS MEAN??? It sounds like they just want to sound wise.![]()
