I would like automod to respond to comments mentioning suicide by providing the user with the national suicide hotline which is simply 988 and can be called or texted.
Here is a list of international hotlines for our brothers and sisters in other countries.
Even when we have been sustained struggling with suicidal ideation, the act itself is often spontaneous and very commonly influenced by substance use (primarily alcohol). I've talked people thru/out of suicide attempts, who then improved upon their life and mental health drastically. Sometimes we need to hit rock bottom before we really comprehend the need/have the drive to commit to the hard changes required. Sometimes we just need one person to show they care enough for us to change our minds in our most vulnerable and desperate state. People have reported a stranger simply smiling at them or saying hello was enough to stop them from jumping off a bridge.
Please include a feature like this getting people in touch with support when they desperately need it the most.
Would you think this should be globally active? Or only on the "active" communities?
Ideally I would like to see it active site-wide. Sometimes small communities are where people feel safe confiding in one another.
But I may not be totally comprehending your question. I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to how automod tools work...
Yeah that what i thought too site wide but some communities doesnt want ( somehow ??? ). But i will deal with it later :)
I will implement that!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
I think there should be no bots with global actions (as in, interacting with posts and comments that were created on federated instances). Bots should only be allowed to interact with their home instance. Bots on Reddit were really annoying for this, as you would always get replies from the global grammar correction bots that added nothing to the conversation. Besides, because each instance admin will probably be hosting their own version of the bot, if global actions are allowed and several instances enable them, one single comment that contains the trigger can get spammed by several bots.
I meant site wide we meant instance locally only.
undefined> with the national suicide hotline which is simply 988 and can be called or texted.
ehm, we dont all live in the same country
Hence why I asked that they share the international hotline resource list that I linked.. Don't understand your criticism. I only mentioned the one for my country because I knew it.
