How did you discover this site?

[camusfan_ig]

Hello everyone! I'm new here, only recently discovered this site a few days back and decided to register. Anyways, I'm curious as to how you guys ended up stumbling across this site. For me, I watched that one vid Tantacrul made and found the site via that way (Tbh, he doesn't do a great job of hiding the site,, i only had to search up a few keywords and it lead me here lol)

I wasn't sure what to expect when I got here. Comparing how Tantacrul painted this site,, to how it ACTUALLY is, is night and day. Tbh looking back in the vid, idk if it was all in complete good faith. Granted the vid is 3 years old now, so maybe things changed since then, idk. But alas, that's how I managed to discover this site. How did you guys find out abt SaSu?

(also sorry if this doesn't belong in off topic,, I wasn't sure where to put it ^^")

I was searching for some related information on Quora, surrounded by a bunch of pro-lifers. Then I saw a random comment "hinting" at this site, so I followed the trail that led me to the Holy Grail.

I'm a new member as well. SaSu is often misrepresented from what I've seen. Saying "look at this scary pro suicide website" is good for clicks. Many here are very kind and the staff actively work to keep this site safe. I found the site through looking for suicide methods, but this site made me not want to end my life honestly. SaSu is like a place to rest, depending on what you choose to read.

Tantacunt (iykyk) sent me here with his advertisement for video about this site.

 

[TheHolySword]

About a year ago I stumbled across a random article on Facebook. The article dropped the site by name. I was already committed to dying, it was like hitting the jackpot in my algorithm.

 

[alilyofthevalley]

hey, same here. watched the video when it first came out.

Yes I agree! I feel like many ppl misinterpret (especially with how the guy i mentioned did) He made it out this toxic place where ppl were telling others "to do it",,, when,,, this isn't the case at all, even in my little time here!

Yep. I feel like his vid could have been handled way better. If he rlly didn't want ppl finding the site,.. why did he give us the EXACT channel and user who died? Ontop of this, even tho he called it "Sorrow Solutions", abbreviated it's still the same as this site!!

Unfortunately, it feels like trying to discuss anything of the sort on the internet is heavily censored by ppl like this (the pro lifers) Shout out to the one guy who hinted at it lol, I wonder how he did it without others catching on

Facebook is a ceasepool, but sometimes the algorithm does it's job and actually gives out interesting stuff lol What was the article if you dont mind me asking? (if you remember ofc)

 

[darksouls]

I was in an international forum and a few guys and me talked about depressions and suicidal thoughts, another guy posted a link to sasu,
I never heard of Tantacrul before I joined sasu

Exactly how I found Sasu too.

 

[Malfunction]

Was looking for info and came across an article on the NY Times.

 

[Marbas]

Saw some people on another forum mentioning this place, what sort of site it is and how terrible it is. That it should be shut down, etc. I got curious, looked it up and joined.

 

[newslaves916]

Some dumbass anti suicide guy on youtube bitching about the site
He didn't mention the name but he said "I'll refer to it as Sorrow Solution, or SS" So I just looked up SS suicide forums and found this site

Tantacunt (iykyk) sent me here with his advertisement for video about this site.

Ugh, I know EXACTLY who you're talking about

 

[Green Destiny]

Years ago there was actually a r/sanctionessuicide Reddit page that was very similar to this website I.E it was very pro choice and respectful about people who wished to simply pass on by their own means rather than continue living. It was taken down and I ended up here just a few months later. Honestly surprised it lasted as long as it did now that I think about it.

 

[asaṅkhata]

This site used to be very easy to find when I found it. Just search for "how to hang your yourself?" on Google and it would pop up as the second or third result.

 

[FadingSnowFake]

Hello, and welcome here. I was googling methods and thought there must be people like me looking for the same information, and maybe even people looking for an online partner. Google surprisingly led me to Wikipedia, which led me to this kind and caring community. I stayed longer than expected and would've been way more lost without SaSu. I wish you all the best on your journey, know that you are not alone.

 

[CaptainSunshine!]

I think I discovered it through google searches (or maybe duckduckgo) about suicide back in around 2019. I probably had to scroll to find it. I was too young to register, so I dropped the site. But I browsed the hanging megathread back in the day.

 

[Shadows From Hell]

Found SaSu not long after it started, was only about a hundred people here when I joined, and Marquis was still running it.

I left to go do my thing and failed, ended up sanctioned for a while after that. When I got released from the happy house, I stayed away from here for a while. Annnnnnd, eventually found my way back, so here I am.

Then compared to now, some things have changed, but is still ran very well by the mods.

SaSu will always be my favorite site.

 

[Macedonian1987]

The youtuber Tantacrul helped me find this forum, and after discovering this forum I changed my method of choice from hanging to SN.

 

[Tiny Little Tree]

Welcome!

I was on the subreddit but I ended up here searching up methods some time later. Lurked for probably 2 years before making an account.

 

[Grog]

I found out about this site through YouTube videos -- all of them had negative things to say about it. But, I am suicidal, and I wanted to make new friends who could potentially understand me better than others; so, I decided to join.

Same here honestly :,D Its such a HUGE comfort seeing ppl here like me, and a bunch of ppl at that (way more than i expected) Makes me wonder how many other ppl are out there that are like us, but just not on the site

 

[KenDuh]

I was looking for something like a community that talked about suicide, and end up here, now I feel very comfy being here

 

[littlecutecorpse]

Tantacunt (iykyk) sent me here with his advertisement for video about this site.

same here. was easily able to find this place with the help of his totally secretive substitute name for the forum. found it on a wiki page, searched it on the ol' search engine, and found it after a single scroll down the first page. lol. i then decided to lurk for several months before finally registering. thanks tantacunt!!!

 

[GrayShadow]

Same here lol. I really like those documentaries on people, sites, viruses, etc. I don't quite remember the name of who I watched, but I saw it on a YouTube video discussing it. I don't know why it suddenly decided to pop up on my for you page after 4 years, but yeah

 

[silverana]

For me some news reports in the country where I live which didn't name the site but linked to the New York Times which openly gave the sites name and identified SN. How stupid is that if they're trying to stop people finding out.

This has been asked (at least) twice before

How did you first hear about and/or find your way to this site?

Please select up to two choices. [This is posted with permission from a moderator to be a pinned post.]

sanctioned-suicide.net

How did you first hear about / find your way to SanctionedSuicide? (2nd poll)

Please select up to two choices. The 1st edition of this poll was posted a little over half a year ago. Given that the site is currently getting a lot of attention due to the recent BBC article, it was thought that a new poll would be more representative of recent and current members.

sanctioned-suicide.net

As for me, can't remember.

 

[Pale_Rider]

I was actually reading a story about a suicide on some website, and to my chagrin they said they weren't going to name the site involved [ SaSu ] .

Meanwhile at this time I was right at the edge of being able to overcome my own SI. As such I spent a lot of time researching methods, and suicide in general. I worried a great deal about triggering a tripwire and winding up with a knock at the door.

So I read about this website, and began searching for it. The algorithm actually played games with me. I eventually found out the names but even with the name Google wouldn't list it. So obviously at first I had to restart the search for a name because Google played that head game with me. Eventually I did find SaSu though, and I immediately knew I was in the right place.

I remember just reading and then the fear after realizing pretty quickly that I just had to join. The fear was that I wouldn't be accepted. I NEEDED to be here. But I didn't need to be so worried. The wait wasn't even so long. I know I will never stumble on a site with as much gravity as far as my own personal life again. I'm pretty confident with that assessment.

 

[BrainSplatter]

I found it on Yandex a Russian search engine it's easily the best one out there better than DuckDuckGo which is heavily filtered SaSu won't even show but if you search anything suicide related but on Yandex you get a full unfiltered view of the internet search suicide methods you'll find SaSu as the first or second website alongside useful case study's clear step by step methods and other information that's unavailable usually

 

[Andarna]

I was lurking on another forum about mental health, and I saw that someone recommended this place for those who want to talk about their suicidal thoughts without being hit over and over with: "call suicide hotline" and other pro-life bs.
(thank you stranger)

 

[corpse]

I was looking for reliable methods.
