The end of an era

On Twitter… If you think it's irresponsible, remove methods from your site.

… oh dear.

I'm late to know about this and I understand whypeople are so frustrated. We bacame so dependent on this place and the discussions it allowed us to ha e here that we're feeling abandoned or even betrayed.

I am beginning to understand that this place was a form of group therapy for me. The anonymous nature of this community made it easier to be completely honest and open. I really enjoyed reading the perspectives and experiences of others on here. I am deeply sadden that things have turned out this way due to the negligent and spiteful actions of the NYT.

I guess all good things must come to an end sometime. I am sure SS will continue to exist in one form or another but there is definitely a sense of change in the air. It is unfortunate that the last safe space for the suicidally downtrodden has been under attack but I am not surprised.

I've been lurking without an account for two years now and it's jarring seeing it go up in smoke so fast. For now I'm saving archived methods posts before this domain eventually shuts down D,:

Who wants and can start a new website about suicide? People need to discuss death somewhere. Not for me because I do not want to live much longer, but for others.

I think someone has already started it, have not checked it but I have seen a thread about it here.

It is the same for me. I was one of those people who loved doing therapy both individual and group therapy. I loved learning about cognitive behaviour. But there was always a limit to how much I could share. I've always been what you'd call "a good girl" so it was hard for me to break that habit, and allow myself to speak my mind about despair and suicide.

Perhaps I would have gotten more out of therapy if I had been completely honest.

SS is an outlet for the darkness in me.

I am not an internet specialist, so my question may sound silly: Is it possible to move to another country, for example Switzerland? An how would the empire react?

This sucks.

It is the end of an era but I hope this website survives. I really need it to survive. I've been reading for years (never made an account until now because I could always see the posts). It really stresses me out that one day i'll wake up and be alone again.

Same on me,i lost everything i love,everything that was giving me hope and confidence two years ago.Recently my mother betrayed me so bad it gave me more confidence to do it and now even ''most tolerant'' media is harassing my right to die without agony.I think,part of the responsibility of my death is on NYT

It's funny, I'm actually not suicidal. I'm just pro-choice, and I'm a philosophical realist who realizes that 2/3 of people die from a progressive disease. If I'm in that lucky 1/3rd of people, I'll have a heart attack or stroke and pass suddenly, and that's great! But if I get diagnosed with dementia or a terminal disease, CTB is the rational choice...

That NYT Megan "2e" journalist and associates are probably having orgasms, what with their wonderful 'investigative (witch-hunt) journalism' achieving so much for them... (further victimisation and censorship of actual suicidal people).

Absolute f*cking blind (either by stupidity or ignorance), virtue-signalling, narcissistic idiot(s).

Excuse my vulgarity, but this whole debacle has finally really pissed me off.

Everyone now has insufficient privileges to post in archived threads, unfortunately.

Maybe it would be logical to create sites like SS in TOR?

As I said a long time ago, it's only a matter of time before all pro-choice sites like this one will be closed. There is no other reasonable way out but to create similar sites in the TOR. And to fight for the right to euthanasia and assist dying like LGBT people fight for their rights.
