How come people who post here aren't tracked and put in mental hospital or something?

especially the ones who are serious and asking for detailed advice

 

[KillingPain267]

Because there is still a tiny sliver of freedom on the internet left. This website resembles how internet forums were in the early 2000s.

 

[Darkover]

Anonymity and identity shielding allow a user to hide or disguise their identifying information online.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

Because it would be really complicated.

 

[sevennn]

i imagine nobody cares much

 

[eeah]

idk how they'd do that without monitoring your internet activity and i dont think the CIA (or whatever feds where u live) really care about that, much less your ISP

 

[vanillamilkshakes]

they only care enough to say how "dangerousness" this website is, not to actually investigate it

 

[sweetcreep]

chances are most of us on here have already been hospitalized at one point. and it's not like they can lock us up for life to insure we don't ctb, that would be a bit silly.

can you imagine all of us being locked up together…

 

[F@#$]

Strange question, why do you ask?

 

[SVEN]

In the UK our NHS is in such a state that Mental Health Services can't cope with those seeking help from, or being referred by, General Practioners. The very last thing they wish to do is add even more folk needing help onto the endless waiting lists.

I'd buy a ticket !

oh yeah my anorexic friends from UK couldn't get mental help at a hospital because they weren't underweight enough imagine telling an anorexic "um you aren't skinny enough to get help" lmao. mental health help is a joke

Our NHS medical & dental services are a (sick) joke !

 

[alienfreak]

We're distributed throughout the world in different legal jurisdictions so it would require significant effort. What jurisdiction/country even is the website hosted in?

We could all make one giant circle and choke each other simultaneously as a method to CTB I guess.

[Leiot]

The best thing about this site is that we can speak our minds without fear of persecution or judgement. I live in the US and just about everything we do is tracked.

 

[Forever Sleep]

That assumes we're all mentally ill.

But yeah- probably depends which country you are in. Quite a big invasion of privacy in any country I imagine to track someone down from here. Wouldn't they need a warrant? Suicide isn't illegal now in a lot of places. Although, encouraging it or assisting in it still is in many places.

In the UK at least, the NHS is overwhelmed as it is. The last thing they want is more needy patients.

 

[Plato'sCaveDweller]

Honestly, that probably would be pretty awesome! It would be cool to meet everyone here. Definitely would make the duration of the lock-up more enjoyable, since we have some pretty funny and interesting characters here.

 

[rozeske]

That should be the least of your worries, unless you are in that line of work, you know...swiping out the suicidals.

 

[ctbsd24]

Perhaps one of the admins can shine further light on this question? I just joined and am enjoying my time on the site. However, I like my privacy and have no interest in being tracked down and locked away lol. That would be enough incentive for me to deactivate my account.

nobody here as ever reported as far as i am aware that anyone has been tracked down from this website and taken away

 

[LunarLight]

Because that would be insanely hard to do.

The US I think.

I've been here since early 2019 and they haven't come knocking on my door to take me away. No one cares that much, it's not worth the trouble.

 

[Lost Magic]

Because my whole house is full of SAW traps. Do you want to come on over and check?

 

[Just_Another_Person]

Good luck tracking me, I'm behind 7 proxies, 4 VPNS and Tor.

Lol true, I've been in the psych hospital like over 30 times. Can't just live there

 

[skyflame]

I know that this wasn't the intention but some of the replies have made me chuckle looking forward to seeing you guys on the ward lol

 

[FlufflesAway]

I'm working on it fam. We'll get there. Bit busy with locking up terrorists and political activists, but we'll get there...

 

[sweetcreep]

sleep over at the psych ward guys, everyone bring your pjs.
