I agree that things have gotten weird lately. While never perfect, this used to be a remarkably safe place considering the diversity of users.

Definitely feels like the atmosphere of this forum has shifted for worse in the past few weeks. I'm sorry you don't feel safe here, at times I've been feeling similarly. Like AmericanMary said, if you ever need someone to vent to without the pressure of other potentially shitty people lurking, I am here 🤗

It's always been that way since day 1. Nowhere is safe, not even SS. And I'm not referring to the points which OP is referring to. Just being around humans in general isn't safe. It never is, it never will be. Trusting a random person you barely talked to is a massive recipe of disaster

I think this could be because the Sanctioned Suicide forum has gained much attention in the recent years, and in turn gained in size as many more people have registered; when a community grows beyond a certain size, its members start to lean more towards others who share the most beliefs with them - because at this point suicidal thoughts are not enough to relate - and the community as a whole starts to fragment. Tribes form, and hostility follows; it is cancerous.

Noticing this too... I'm a guy but seeing it still makes me cringe and wildly uncomfortable for the rest of y'all. I do see mods doing their best to keep it to a min though and I respect that.

Near half the users were like that in 2018, thanks to our wonderful founders, who had not a bit of neutrality, and their userbases came here. There's a reason why it took me 6 years to join here.

It greatly improved over the years, but there is still work to do. I hope mods get more strict with what it's allowed.

Misogyny seems inevitable as the forum was originally founded by two hardcore incels. I imagine much of the initial userbase were also incels, so even though the founders are gone, it makes sense that these attitudes still linger.

Using "autism/autist" as an insult is just a Gen Z thing and is parallel to how Millennials used the word "retard" previously. It's sad but eh, every gen has something like this for whatever reason. It will fall out of fashion eventually.

Wait someone actually insults people with being autistic? I thought it was just joking around, like kids calling each other gay for liking girls

I mean some do, I sure do like calling things autistic, the word feels innocently quirky to me (also probably deserves to mention I am an aspie myself).
I could imagine some people calling things autistic in an insulting way outside of my social bubble.
