I do think this site can be beneficial as it's the one place where people can openly say they want to die in this anti-suicide society without having to suffer more by being locked in the psych ward.
I bet this site has prevented lots of failed suicide attempts where without this site people would had otherwise attempted very unreliable methods because of lack of method knowledge. I'm pleased for you that you found benefit to this site but I wish instead of it there was actual acceptance towards our right to die where people can just leave this world in peace on their own terms, it disgusts me how suicide is so stigmatised.
