Thanks for creating this community and hope that it becomes a thriving safe-space. Better awareness and management of our mental health concerns and issues are always welcome in my book.
Men’s Mental Health
I’m admittedly new to running a community anywhere online, but saw a need so I’m trying to fill it and help where I can. I’ve had plenty of my own issues over the years and am hoping for a safe space where men can discuss their own brands of issues. For now we’re gonna run by the Bartender Rule & few other rules stolen shamelessly from [email protected] :
Together, we make this community great. Thank you for being here. Please actively participate in the discussions. Please show respect and empathy when replying to posts.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
1-Posts promoting paid products and services of any kind are not allowed here.
2-All our content must be helpful and appropriate. Do not put vulnerable people at risk and mind the way you approach when need be.
3-Do not DM any of our members unless they specifically request it. Likewise, if a person from here disturbs you, you are encouraged to report them to us(with evidence) and block them. They will be banned instantly.
4-Posts about suicide and/or dying are not allowed here. Your content may trigger others & put them at risk, and we do NOT want that to happen.
Thanks! I will definitely be active here.
Added this comm to the list at [email protected]. If you have some interesting discussion topic, you can cross post there too.
Great thank you!
This seems like a good idea, but you should keep an eye out for the guys from the "men" community on lemmy.world. they used to belong to leftwingmaleadvocates on reddit and they are toxic as fuck. Hope you can keep this place positive.
Definitely keeping an eye out. Rule #5 is intentionally vague and leaves the definition up to mods discretion.
Hopefully your mods act in better faith than theirs
