MODERATORS
Mods at !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world will remove posts that even slightly hint that you have depression, even though their rules state that they will not remove mental health related posts. It's a really fucked up thing to do to someone that needs help. Society loves to say "seek help" "talk to someone" "we're always here for you", but the moment you seek advice, they want you to go away. Oh you know the community they keep telling you to go to !mentalhealth@lemmy.world? You aren't allowed to express any suicidal thoughts.
A depressed person: "I'm feeling sad and don't really have the energy to keep going anymore... Can I talk to someone here?"
Mods: Nope go away you crazy suicidal maniac, we don't want to talk to you.
That is indeed bad for the person :/
Why do they do that? Lability reasons?
Looks like we need a new community. There are definitely two communities for depression. Try those
