Suicide comes in many different flavors. The most common in my limited experience is desperation. If you are so utterly desperate for literally anyone to listen to you, I don’t see how it would hurt. Especially since there’s such a positive stigma surrounding the hotline. I personally know a couple of people that the hotline helped.
Personally I feel like it happens less often. The Catholic Church really have a reputation. I’ve only ever heard ‘altar boy’ to mean a young boy who’s being groomed and taken advantage of. I have no fucking clue what an altar boy really is.
Whoever it definitely still happens with protestants. Usually with youth pastors (surprise, surprise).
I want to make it entirely clear that I agree with you. I just want to bring this up for insight and perhaps understanding.
Reddit has a pretty bad incel problem. Incels are very similar to online Nazis. Out in the open they try to speak in code and find other incels, and in their own communities they get nasty and start being vile. Now this isn’t always the case, and incels are much more brazen than nazis, but the premise is similar.
Once is want to find other incels. And they do so by using dog whistles. One of which is ‘females’. Of course this is a common word and its ridiculous to just ban anyone using this word. This mod went way overboard. But if you’ve been around enough of these ‘quiet’ toxic groups and had to mod, you might have acted rash as well.
The cop said that their policy is to not serve uniformed military, not the bakery. The bakery claims it has nothing to do with being a uniformed officer or military personal, they just dont allow firearms in the building.
Its called genralization. Whenever a media reaches a larger audience, that media stops filling its niche and starts trying to appeal to the larger audience. Its a bit more complicated when it comes to a social media, but look at some of the larger subreddits. When they were small and starting off, they were fun and exciting. But after growing a larger audience, they became more genralized. A bit boring.
Users are the same way. After a platform gains enough users, those users start to act in a way that is similar to picking the low hanging fruit. Whatever is the easiest way to garner attention, they do it.
If lemmy grows to reddits size, it’ll probably be the same. However, hopefully different instances and nonsummarized karma will mitigate that.
Oh so we are all already in hell. Got it.
