Discussion What would you do if SaSu vanished?

[R. A.]

This could probably just as well be posted in Sui-Discussion since I think this site honestly keeps a lot of us alive, but...

​

Those host server downtime episodes still freak me out. Still make me think the feds have finally managed to pull the plug on this place and it's gone for good. I currently lean on the existence of this forum pretty heavily to cope and it would not be a good time if it went offline. Probably wouldn't CTB asap, but living would become exponentially more miserable.

How 'bout y'all: would it push you over the edge? Destabilize you? Be that change you need to stop doomscrolling and try to really "recover"? O something else?

 

[darksouls]

I would despair

 

[Cosmophobic]

Coming on here is defintely a habit in formation for me right now but it hasn't been going on for long enough yet that I'd feel a real loss. I would probably just be thankful that I got information about SN before the site disappaeared.

If SaSu ever goes down, there will be a successor in due time.

Sudden removal of supply does not automatically erase the demand, and in the case of suicide, I'd expect the demand would result in a pretty quick turnaround as far as newfound "supply".

Ideally, governments and the wider public would just accept this site's existence as a product of our collective way of life, and dedicate their energy and resources to causes that would have actual realized effect. (In other words, "Leave us the fuck alone.")

To answer the topic question: I would become relatively annoyed, and wait.

Unless the EU bans all suicide sites and gets more controlling,then i'll just wait for a new one.

Or just search for a new forum but its hardd finding a similar one,and it would take a while anyway to get it more popular(mental health forum is similar maybe?)

Hope this forum doesnt get banned, people here are nice. :>

I'd be pissed, I use this place to journal my thoughts and day-to-days since I have memory problems. Also the users here are nice and stuff, on social medias or forums like reddit it's just a lot of content bait and just really dumb people. I am less likely to lose braincells when interacting here. Plus, I can talk about ctb here without any judgement or fear of getting sent to some hospital. I don't know any other site that people won't suddenly try taking control of your autonomy. Also I don't really like interacting with like 14 somethign yr olds online, they're easily impressionable and immature, and some of them are just like… straight up rude and mean. I also just don't really like the new slangs, so I guess it's reassuring that minors aren't allowed to make accounts. Not that I have anything against them, I just would rather interact with people who've lived enough to gain knowledge on experience rather than kids who aren't fully developed yet

I remember when that happened, I thought it got DDOSED and I panicked.

Honestly, I don't know. I've admittedly become very dependent on this site and I'd probably be really sad because I have no one else in my life that I can be transparent about my emotions with. But I'd find a way to cope like journaling I guess.

All the methods have been published in some type of medical journal anyway.

 

[bleeding_heart_show]

I would begrudgingly find somewhere else to post my pseudointellectual rambling.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Panic and feel horribly alone.

I think without SaSu, I'd be more prone to have outbursts or not have a place to vent, speak my mind, and the worst part could be the lack of refinement of my method and all the logistics and details about it. I certainly would have a higher risk of failing or just be even more unbearable. There was a time where I was without SaSu (not withstanding the time before the SaSu platform was founded) and that was early 2021 until mid 2022. I didn't have a place or community to share my thoughts, to vent, or find some solace of peace, and quite frankly if I were to go, I'd certainly incur unnecessary risks. While people might think with my method of choice, a firearm, how is it complicated? Well, besides knowing how to execute the method, the personal circumstances and what not may still need refinement and I may just be going in with unnecessary risk and complications.

Nevertheless, having SaSu around has almost always been a positive thing for me as well as many people who are truly suicidal and want to go and have a place where they can be truthfully honest about the topic without censorship, gaslighting, and/or other unnecessary intervention. They would also be more likely to be understood here than any other platform.

 

[EternalShore]

I mean, there will be another, just as there always has been another (from Ash to Reddit to here)~ Just wait for 1 of the pro-choice Discord servers to publicize it, so we can all join~ :)
In the meantime tho, I'd not be very happy at all tho~ :/ especially since that would take many of my friends away! D:

 

[Forveleth]

I would think of people here time to time and wonder how they are doing. I would probably play a lot more mobile games instead of browsing this site to kill time.

 

[caramelkidney]

be really, really really REALLY sad. this site gives me information for methods and if i didnt have that i dont know what id do, especially since i have no idea where to get sn/kn since DMC shut down. knowing that if things get bad, i could have a slightly easy "way out" make me feel relief and id feel terrible without said relief.

 

[dissociation]

I think I would feel even worse than I already do.

 

[Eriktf]

i hope admin have made arrangements for it to just become darknet at that point

This seriously freaked me out because it showed up on my browser. I was like, "Wtf do I do?" Because there are no other places like this site out there.

It's a safe space for me to talk about suicide without being judged, invalidated, called weak/selfish/cowardly, etc.

 

[Dark Moon]

I wouldn't be happy if SS goes down for good because I still want to see the methods and resources that have been given and I just like this place for the most part. I'll probably just move to another forum/community as well as finish my backlog of games. I'll definitely be worse than I am right now if this place vanishes into thin air.
