I use a different platform for dating. (the sole reason I spend time there) There are chats, most of your posts are anonymous etc. The platform has the appeal to be allegedly anonymous. Giving the posters a feeling of security. There are so many trolls though and the people are very unempathic/rude.

I don't feel comfortable to open up there. SaSu is way more open about taboos. Stigmatization is a big issue on mainstream platforms. And I am not only refering to suicide as a topic.

On other platforms I am not sure whether they would me report to the authorities. I am not doing big crimes. But I watch TV from to time illegal, bypass paywalls stuff like that.
People on SaSu admitted to some bigger crimes in the past. And most people were not that judgemental towards them.

I could never open up on a platform where I had to fear that the police stands in front of my door. I would be way too paranoid to share my thoughts.

Moreover, have you ever read a confession thread on a normie forum? Most of the things are so vanilla. It is almost ridiculous. I think on SaSu there were like two types of people in confession threads. People who worried too much holding an apple in their hands in a supermarket even though they did not buy it. And people who admitted to pretty stunning things. Someone put it in way better terms but I cannot remember the exact wording.

I considered to post in such a confession thread that I watched gore in the past. I would have been curious about the moral outrage. Even though I regret watching it. I think I would have gotten a lot of hate. I think it was good that I decided against it. I wonder whether the people/platform would have reported me.

Though I wonder. Do the people on SaSu deal with way more severe issues hence more controversial confessions? Or are we simply more open about them? Or both?

I stay off of social media. Most of it seems to be about self promotion anyway so, I doubt people would open up about the more negative stuff. Perhaps only for sympathy if they do.

As for being reported for things. I don't really know. Is it all that common on social media even? I imagine it's quite a bit of effort to report someone to the police. It's perhaps more shocking how some extreme cases don't get reported. There was that serial killer who posted homicidal reviews on tools on Amazon. I imagine most people thought it was a joke. 😬

As for dating sites, I imagine eveyone is out to impress so, anything that might put a potential partner off, they probably omit.

I can't imagine posting what I post here anywhere else though. I'm sometimes amazed by how (mostly) kind this community is. Plus, I wouldn't want to have to defend my perspective or, wade through do-gooder platitudes if I posted vents elsewhere.

the internet is the Colosseum of the modern age
most schoolchildren watch gore
they share violent videos in the schoolyard or in class chats

I couldn't, personally. Facebook is too public and Reddit is too "I don't care about you personally, but I don't want you to die, so here's the useless Suicide Hotline to call."

Everyone that mentions suicide gets routed to the Hotline, which is useless and mocking and all sorts of bad things. Here, that hasn't happened. I'm not shamed for being suicidal. I appreciate that.

I'm pretty open about things on both Twitter and Discord~ :) less so on Discord when the people don't come from SS or Twitter tho, since it'd be annoying to explain everything~ >_< and even on all those sites including this one, I don't tend to let everything be known about me, especially depending on who I'm talking to~ I tend to have a bunch of hot takes for literally everyone~ :ahhha:

I'm mostly on mypancake.cafe, a support forum similar to this one but for people with eating disorders. But there are also threads for more general mental health stuff like suicide and addiction on there. The process of becoming a member is a lot more vigorous than I've seen in other places, which makes it very secure. I'm probably more comfortable on pancake because I've been a member for over a year and I actually know people on there. It's a very lovely community🤍
