OP has received their answer, and I don't think it would be productive to continue this discussion here, so I am locking the post.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have updated rule 4. Posts that mention suicide are now allowed with proper flags and warnings so people who may feel triggered can avoid them.
The mod team and I have been working hard at making this a space where everyone feels heard and supported. It's difficult to make sure we are allowing people to talk freely about whatever they need to talk about, but not ending up with a time-sensitive crisis that we as volunteers don't have the tools to manage properly. We will definitely rethink that rule and ways to re-word it. We are always open to talking about the rules and what needs to change to make people feel comfortable posting here.
I used to fall into cycles like that, and I deal with chronic pain which causes me a decent amount of anxiety. I also went to therapy with the specific goal of learning how not to fall into spirals of anxiety anymore. It has been very helpful for me.
I also found it helpful to tell someone I trusted to ask me when they notice I'm isolating if I need someone to talk to about it so I won't have to do the work of reaching out. This was helpful for both of us because they had been feeling like there was nothing they could do to help me if I didn't talk with them about it, and it may be a personal thing they shouldn't bring up, and I was secretly hoping someone would care enough to ask.
Maybe when you're feeling well enough to do so, asking someone who loves you to reach out to you when you need it would be a good choice for you.
Thank you for having a respectful conversation with me even though you don't agree with the rules. I will think about rewording that one to be more specific. Today has been very busy for me because of the r/place threads.
As I've explained elsewhere today, I don't mind if you're using this community to plan a brigade at r/place today that says something like "Join Lemmy" but if you're planning to do something like make a large penis and put "Lemmy" next to it I'd rather you plan that somewhere else. Lemmy.world admins do not want us doing something that makes the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, much less planning it on the site.
I didn't make the rules. I took over as top moderator yesterday. In general, we don't want you to use this community to plan a brigade in a way that would make the Fediverse look bad. I could reword the rule to include that. It hasn't even been an issue until today. It's the first time I've seen it happening in the comments.
In my opinion, something like "Join Lemmy" is fine, but a giant penis with LEMMY next to it is not as good a look and I'd rather you not coordinate that plan here.
Understood. I'm just requesting we don't make the Fediverse look bad.
Mod reminder: We do have a rule against brigading. I know this is a special case - but please keep it respectful if you are planning to represent the Fediverse on r/place.
I am going to remove your post because this is not the right place for it, but please do seek advice at /c/mentalhealth@lemmy.world for your concerns.
Hi there! Thanks for posting in YSK. It seems at the moment, this post is coming across as less than accurate. Will you do me a favor and update it to include the fact that accreditation is not the same as traditional colleges and the estimated prices that were found in the Wiki? That way it won't get reported and possibly removed.
