Hello!
Our team has seen an influx of accounts promoting help via DM, whatsapp/telegram/discord groups or other social media outlets.
We do not endorse these and remove as much as we can. Simply because we do not know who is offering help and what their credentials and intentions are. Unfortunately, many of these actors participate in bad faith and for personal (financial) gain.
While we heavily moderate this subreddit, we do not have any control of what is going on in Reddit's DM's. We do get reports from member being harrassed in the DM's after posting. Is this has happend to you, you can report the DM to Reddit admins and block the user. If you want, you can also shoot us a message via modmail, so we can take action too. Keep in mind that when we ban a user, it does not stop them from DM'ing others.
You can control who messages you! In this menu you can easily select your preference:
Please be cautious who you give personal and sensitive information to at all times!
There are bad actors on site who will use information to their advantage.
We do not want to scare anyone away from posting. We know that sharing your thoughts and feelings anonymously can be really nice. But please be cautious!
Know that it is totally okay to create an alt/extra account to post here.
If you are ready to make that big step to get help, please go to your local mental health professionals.
This to ensure you get the care and attention you deserve!
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to post them in the comments or shoot us a message.
Stay safe!
If I see someone struggling I’ll attempt a dm and comment it gives the user a choice of 2 options. Either option I am here to help.
