You Don't Matter, Give Up.

Welcome to "You Don't Matter, Give Up."

This community is inspired by the concept of text that conveys opposite messages when read in a different manner. While it shares similarities with !dontdeadopeninside@lemmy.ohaa.xyz and !nosafetysmokingfirst@sh.itjust.works in that all of these play with the idea of misreading text, YDMGU specifically focuses on phrases that can be read in both directions, with each interpretation being valid and opposites of each other.

Important Note: This subreddit is not a place for discussions about suicide or self-harm. If you or someone you know is struggling with these feelings, we urge you to seek help. Please visit !suicidewatch@lemm.ee or reach out to appropriate resources for support. Because you matter, don't give up.

this opens the door to interpretation

Or closes it. We're not sure...

I wonder how many people actually tried to enter through this door because of the sign.

Looks like a "don't dead open inside" situation.

It's specifically a "you don't matter give up" situation, where the two ways of reading it have opposite meanings. See community sidebar for more details.

Sartre approves.

If it was saying that it's not an exit, the sign would be facing the other direction.

Don't you go bringing logic and context into this

[–] don@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Cool, I’m exiting the outside.

The future is what you make it

...i worked there there is no snark or mistake in the sign...

[–] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Is this the entry or exit? I’m still not sure.
