What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and this site was gone?

[SomewhereAlongThe]

No warning whatsoever, what if Sasu was taken down all of a sudden? Your sasu friends and posts wiped out for good. All the information on methods you read about, gone for good. The chat you're used to participating in, gone away. So how would you react? What would you do if you lost this community? Is sasu a big part of your life?

 

[yowai]

I'd have nowhere else to vent and complain so back to keeping everything inside It'd be lonely but I'd hope that it would come back soon under a different domain

 

[requiemforadream]

I wouldn't bother because I got the knowedgle to made my opionion already. Still, this place feels like an old internet and somehow home so it would be sad.

 

[ma0]

Probably protest on reddit (on an alt of course, wouldn't want my main vaporized to oblivion) and go about my days of being depressed, sleeping and planning CTB, but this time without the comfort of a community that relates to me.

 

[ShatteredSerenity]

That would suck bad for me, it's one of my nightmares since I'm still not totally ready with my CTB method. While there are other sources for support, this is by FAR the most comprehensive. I'd also really miss the general discussions, so I'd have to find some other community for that but there's nothing quite like SaSu.

I would definitely consider starting up a replacement site. Running web infrastructure was my career for 15+ years, so the technical aspects would be relatively easy for me. The challenge would be to grow the user base, and I'd need to find someone to take over before too long because I want to CTB myself.

Saying this has made me realize I need to copy and paste the SN regimen in a separate document in case this happens. I would be upset and feel even more alone than I already do.

[TheHolySword]

I'd have one less thing to look at during the day, I'd replace it with some other distraction on my phone

 

[viljalauss]

after seeing this post i got so anxious i pasted a load of posts into a document, some that are just important to me and some that could be used ~in a court of law~ if i ever decide to see a therapist - despite what it might seem, i have articulated my thoughts when writing on this site so much better than i ever will orally, especially if it's to a new person, and especially because it's been so long since i was really in the worst of it.

even after that anxiety gone, though, i would just miss this site so much.
would also be scared for everyone really feeling the loss of a space to talk transparently, scared for the people who will easily feel a lot more alone. reddit.. cares, they sure do

also it does kinda give old internet vibes :') i love the site design and the little emoticons

Its already happened a few times

I'm so sorry I didn't mean to make you anxious. I understand though, because I did the same thing with some documents on this site, when I first found this site.

 

[HereTomorrow]

Probably search for the next copycat site and vent there. SaSu was made because r/SanctionedSuicide got banned after all.

Or if I can't find any just vent on main or CTB from isolation.

This site is ironically keeping me alive and organizing my thoughts in a way that gave me more support than the mental health system and my friends had ever done for me without judging or criticizing my pain. I want that to be known.

Information wise ive already got quite a bit copied down so that wouldnt bother me too much but i would miss the community so much. I have thought about this quite a lot but hopefully it would come back under a different name i just hope i would be able to find that name.

 

[Wonhun]

As long as you make a record of the megathread bible and the clues for all those supplier, i dont see any problem after all

 

[RoyalBengalAutistic]

Nothing special

 

[PhDone]

The irony is SaSu is both giving me into for ctb and helping me hang in there. I am on it a lot as its the only place I am understood in my suffering and desperation for a path out of it. If I didn't have it surf and engage with amazing people on each day I'd have been much further along losing my head, hence life, to my suffering.

 

[OptingOutSmiling]

I copied enough in terms of method, but the site is a lot more than expected. I will miss the community and visiting the forum has almost become part of my routine. I learned not only about methods as I had hoped, but ironically more about life from you guys. I found SaSu at the right time in my journey and am eternally grateful to all your contributions. You've been here for me in really dark times, and I have comfort in knowing I could use the info gained when I choose to. Through you, I'm even on the contact list of our DMC friend Thanks guys!

 

[darkenmydoorstep]

I'd be sad because it's the only place I feel true solidarity in terms of sentiment and also feel safe enough to express that in detail without shame or a need to change me.
What would I 'do'?
Well there's nothing I could do. The world is going more and more this way. Banning stuff. So I kind of expect it

 

[RandomGirl52]

honestly i would prob be find for a few days, like maybe a week but then the thoughts would come back and I wouldn't have a outlet in this site, prob sh a lot more and then commit like 2 weeks later

 

[astr4]

anxious, how would i find everyone else. my ocd would act up, this has happened before to me where i've spent hours and hours googling variations on usernames trying to find people based on a dim recollection of what their username was… now i'm thinking i should ask some of y'all for your discords, ha.

 

[ScaredOfMachines]

I guess I'd just be alone again. It's always been like that before, so I could handle it I guess. I already got the method info I need from here, so I'd be fine on that end.

 

[needthebus]

I might go back to using drugs. I would have no outlet to connect with people and would likely become sadder. I am so behind on thjngs i probably wouldnt do drugs immediately

 

[dontwakemeup]

I would just off myself And I'll leave a note saying it was all because SS site was shut down lol

 

[hereornot]

I would continue planning my CTB, researching. Something I was already doing before I found out about the site.

Google is there, everything that exists can be found there...

There would be no reduction in suicides if this site ceased to exist.

 

[yellowjester]

There's a thread about us on K******ms. I would go check there if anyone knows what happened and if there's a way to recover the site or reassemble in a different place. If this site was gone for good, I would maybe try to start up a chat group on telegram with some of the members I relished, but I'm not sure.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I wouldn't mind for me because I already have all of the necessary information needed for me to ctb but I would be sad for those who are missing out on a good site like this where you can (mostly) escape from pro life bullshit. This is a good site for many and I'd feel so sad for those who would be missing out on it since they deserve to have a safe place like this too

 

[FujoshiNeet]

Then I just go be mentally ill on main~

 

[NoPoint2Life]

I would panic because I spend more time on this site than I'd like to admit. Sometimes I question if that is good or bad though is it helping or hurting me?

But actually the thing that would drive me the most nuts is just not knowing the end of other people's stories. It's not like I directly interact with many people here but when you see the same users over and over and get the gist of what their story is to not know what the outcome ends up being is hard for me. It's the nature of this site for various reasons, but to have it happen with everyone all at once would be tough. I know I'd think about certain people a lot.

 

[Theresnoescape]

I'd be devastated, as I'm sure most here would be. If someone was to set up again as a different name or something, how would anyone know? Don't have a clue how anything like that works so maybe I'm just being thick.

 

[hail]

would still be actively planning to CTB but with the added on fear of knowing that none of my struggles was ever documented anywhere and I was just "the one that died for no reason"

 

[ThisIsMe1357]

If by gone you mean banned by certain governments and not available on the open internet, I would first panic and then immediately start looking for a Dark Web version of this website.

But if you mean gone completely in all of its forms, as if by magic, then I am not exactly sure what I would do. I would be extremely angry, I might try searching for any alternatives I could find, and I would strongly hope it would return in the following weeks. However, the website has already provided with a lot of useful information up to this point, and for that I am truly thankful.
