Discussion How did you know of SS and what was your first impression?

some kind helpful soul posted about it on r/suicidewatch
I just happened to catch it at the right time
funny enough, I got banned today from that same forum. but I deserved it lol (broke a rule)
so now I'm happy to be here! now I can openly discuss methods

see a mix of Methods and Suicide Discussions among Off Topics and Recovery.

I think Off Topic and Recovery should be left at just that, idk why ppl post suicide related posts in those channels. So I totally agree

I found it through that exact same video. that guy had to put some effort to make it the easiest as possible to find it bro he didn't change the acronym, reproduzed the whole forum layout and the video was basically just a guide of how to navigate this website
I think at first I thought it was definitely ethically ambiguous at least in the popular consensus but not necessarily "wrong"? idk how to explain but I was definitely very curious and stalked this place silently for a long time before recently making an account

i've been aware of the site since the reddit ban but i was also far too young to make an account at the time so i stuck to lurking

was made aware of it again by tantacrul, instantly knew it was sasu when i heard him refer to it as "SS/Sorrow Solution", it's like he didn't even try to hide what site it was he did such a bad job at censoring it

I had the same experience! I watched that video and went to search for the site, and boom--found it! Ironically, the video just brought me here, rather than scaring me away and making me think badly of the site...because I'm not a moron.

Also every time I see the thumbnail to that video, my face scrunches up in disgust...no one is going "Do it" like this is some scary Unfriended-esque movie.

Sorrow Solution LOL. I forgot about that. Horrible censorship

I think I heard about it years ago in a reddit post talking about the SaSu reddit being banned. I then discovered the SaSu that exists now. I was browsing subs about suicide and getting tired about people talking about the same platitudes and "it gets better" and other nonsense. Finding this place was very refreshing, people who thought the same things as me gather in the same place. It made me feel less lonely and talking with people who aren't ignorant/willfully ignorant is always pleasant.
