[H.O.Xan]

Is that our fault? The person wasn't satisfied with their lives so they ctb'd. Wut do we have to do with this? The parents should find more constructive stuff to do than wreak havoc and meaningless vengeance

It isn't meaningless. Their son isn't there anymore and they need something to rage at to distract themselves from their Failure as parents.

This is probably why the kid got to that point in the first place and why the parents failed to notice what was going on with him until it was too late.

People are gonna people.

Seems to me that this publicly funded propaganda broadcasting service have declared war against the general public located outwith Islington.

For sure. But online Platforms are free to use so what's wrong ? Maybe they can just blam themselves for what their son lived ? Idk

They have attempted to shut it down in the US several times, but have not succeeded so far.

The government is getting so bad about impeding on people's lives, that soon, we will need the government's permission to fart.

The person supposedly asked for the site to be shut down in their suicide note.

I'm not sure I can fault the parents of the deceased for crusading against the forum... it must be quite harrowing to read and experience. They feel defeated and powerless and so try to focus their efforts to achieve something they perceive as meaningful. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it. However, the actions of some parents and journalists have been quite appalling (doxxing, pestering, baiting).

It's infuriating. Going on this site actually makes me feel BETTER because it's the only place I feel supported and understood. I can vent here without people freaking out or saying some bullshit about how "it will get better". I need this site.

You're not alone.

 

[Scythe]

I was wondering about this too, can someone link me the article?

Also, this is what, the third or fourth time the BBC bitched about us? Do they not have actual news to report?

 

[CatLvr]

You're not alone.

Neither are you. Seems we are in good company.

I am grateful for every single day I live in a planet with plants instead of a shitty space colony so I don't need to worry about being forced to pay a subscription for breathing...

Well where the fuck else am I meant to go? Reddit? That place has more rules and censorship than bloody Ingsoc.

 

[-Tandem-]

Be nice if they actually talked to an active member and maybe try and get their perspective. It's not an evil place. It's just a place where people can come and discuss suicide/depression without repercussions from people who actually experience it first-hand.

Basically anything relating to suicide gets deleted there unless it's empty "dont do it!" platitudes and bots spamming hotlines, it's outright unusable.

Really strange and difficult to believe

Basically anything relating to suicide gets deleted there unless its in a subreddit full of empty "dont do it!" platitudes and bots spamming hotlines, it's outright unusable.

That's exactly why I like this site, it gives actual insight from people who have experienced this shit first hand instead of some randoms redirecting you to endless resources filled with empty promises.

 

[Myforevercharlie]

Calm down. They have tried before. Multiple times.
Nothing happened.

Gotta wonder how many resent this place in that "I suffer in silence so you should too" kind of way...
The world seems to be in bad shape so it helps to have a scapegoat to rage at for distraction, it doesn't matter what it is, you can always come up with reasons as you go.
Hell truly is other people.

 

[RainAndSadness]

There is no immediate threat to this forum right now, but there have been efforts to deplatform us in the past or make it more difficult to access this place in certain countries, like in the UK for example. We have no idea what the future holds but there has been a general increase in attempts to censor the internet in various countries, so it's a good thing to be prepared. That's why we put up the banner. We have resisted all attempts to shut us down so far and we aren't planning to go anywhere.

Why do people who use this site to learn about methods to CTB ask for this site to be shut down?
If you don't like this site, don't use it.

The splinternet is becoming more of a reality each day.

So true. A lot people think cause they have to suffer here then everybody should have to as well

I haven't been on here for long but I'm already concerned at the fact this site might get shut down, I don't know if it's just me being paranoid but I'm pretty scared by the fact the government doesn't want this site

 

[ijustwishtodie]

The government has been trying to shut down this site for as long as this site was first founded as the government, just like the majority of people, are pro suffering and would rather have people suffer for as long as possible. To them, the thought of somebody escaping this prison is unimaginable. They have tried many times to shut this place down and they have failed.

Governments can't do shit, don't worry. And if they try to ban it in their country, get a VPN. I'm pretty sure it's allowed here if you're in a country where this site's banned.
