EDIT : [email protected] has been created . The /c/ will also work as suicide watch. It was @[email protected] 's idea to change the /c/ to include lonely people more .

I have been wondering why lemmy has nothing that is active and modded (which is bad for a /c/ like that ) . But i don't wanna have any fall back from the law as i am quite brock atm so is there any such risk ? I am proposing this idea and will only carry on according to what majority thinks .

EDIT: Edited a bit which may have been misleading and because one user draw my attention it do reread if you have read the post before so you don't get any wrong idea.

I think you'll be doing a great service, and will reach more people. Not everyone gets to the point of feeling suicidal, but plenty of people feel lonely at times, and could benefit from talking about it.

Hmm yes the only problem is then i can only help the people who is starting to have this thought and not the ones who are in real danger but i guess i can't save everyone (and does people care if an internet person told them they will miss them ?)
