Venting This Site is a Dud...

[DefinitelyReady]

This site has turned out to be a total let down... Aside from a few tips for methods that have yet (for me) to may or may not be helpful, this site has proven to be a complete bust... Its set up is completely annoying, inefficient, and inconvenient. The 'back button' is a bitch. You can't deselect specific alerts and content, and so you're often left hunting and sifting through loads of crap you're not even interested in! The people are not as self-serious as you thought/hoped they'd be. The stories do not leave the same impressions as they once did because you can't find your own caliber of people to read into their postings. Reminds me of my shitty small town library, where there is a large room with a large pile of crap seedily sectioned off where you have to exhaust yourself to find something worthwhile or useful. You don't leave with any renewed spirit, either leaning more or less towards CTB. There's little indication of finding out who the hell you're even talking to! The people are too similar and it's the same content over and over with different verbiage. I already spend enough time with the elderly and don't need an influx of suicidal dementia to sort through. This is really nothing more than a novelty suicide fantasy/escape space where people come to indulge in the vacation of "leaving." Why can't there be a section specific for these things? Its free-for-all dormitory style creates a time-wasting, energy-sucking source just like anything else on the internet. This is supposed to be a super specific spot meant for specific use; and yet, somehow it's become all bubblegum pop suicide for the most part, in the style of a shitty Craigslist for the Suicidal... I've used this place at least a few times a week for like a month, and have generally learned nothing except that people won't try to talk you out of your choice, which is already "sanctioned" by the title. This isn't supposed to be the one-for-all suicide site. Have a damn sucide penpal section and chat there! I'm 32yrs old (female, because who the f**k knows?) and have been researching methods of my own accord on and off for well over 15yrs. This site isn't much more than a social platform for the fashionably depressed, pierced with people who truly want the fuck out of this life; and who come to find like-minded people who share like minded ideas and knowledge that serve to exit this life in the most convenient and comfortable way(s). It needs to cater to the needs of the viewer or shut it the fuck down; and the followers who are seeking to actually ctb will start over again, and it'll leave out the weeny-boppers who will have to do a deep dive search and it'll come back as less contaminated with unnecessary plot points. Maybe there should be a separate site entirely for the community to be a community; because otherwise, it leaves the rest of us with true intentions to off ourselves to have to use this site like we're studying and taking an online course to ace our completed suicides. Having to search and sift, backwards and forwards, through virtually and literally the same things over and over, having to use this place like a dictionary and encyclopedia when its purpose is already permissible suicide ffs!! Filter this place. You have us set up accounts with vetting, and then you generally stop with any other organizational or construction on the forums. But god forbid you post about searching for a partner in the only suicide section, and not the "Megathread." Let's chop that off that because that doesn't fit ... because that is of utmost importance. This site needs a lot of reconstructing. Get on my damn nerves... Is this only me? I didn't come here to get sucked into another meaningless vortex of essentially useless chatter. I could've given myself permission to go watch actual bullshit videos on Youtube and would've come out more relaxed and decompressed than when getting off here. Maybe I'm in a particularly piss-poor fucking mood than usual. Maybe this site is lacking, and does more harm than good. Maybe go f*** yourself...

This it the problem of the media. It portrays this place in a manner that is the complete opposite of the purpose this site. Then people come looking for such place and endup completely disappointed and to an extent angry when the expectation differs from reality. Let me guess you came from that video? Or some other news article?

 

[DefinitelyReady]

I'm 32 and have been suicidal since childhood, so I consider myself old and remember "sucide.alt.holiday" or whatever it was when that was about the only thing out there besides the Handbook. I had my methods already in mind and found the journals on the suicides/deaths, but it did come up that college kids were using this site and LostAllHope. (I couldn't remember the name of that site from several years ago when I found it. I bet it's plagued like this one is now.) I've put off using this site because I dreaded having to interact and read and search for things that may not even be there (here). So I thought I was better off with google. But they keep trying to make it harder to find legitimate suicide journalism so I caved and came here. Sorry, yes to your question.

That was the best Yelp review I've ever read.

There's already mad guides on methods, if ur that old then why haven't u come up with anything.

 

[limeoctave]

omg.. it's so funny

i'm sorry that you're so disappointed in this place. This site doesn't have to be this or that. It's a beautiful place, at least for me. There are a lot of amazing people and a lot of unique and useful information about methods, at least for mine

May I remind you that membership of this site is not compulsory. If you don't find the site helpful, you are under no obligation to use it.
If you have some positive suggestions about how the site could be improved, I'm sure they would be welcomed.

mf was waffling for so long they lost the plot by the end

"Something needs to change!" ahh speech

 

[Tesha]

So you're not giving it 5 stars then? You know that'll pull the Google review score down…!

 

[Jorms_McGander]

I understand that you are frustrated and you are projecting your own issues onto other people here. Leave people alone, eh? Does it hurt you really badly to encounter others at different points along the spectrum of suicidal ideation? Act like less of a normie and share a sandbox. The resources you seek are here and nobody is responsible for your age but you.

 

[DefinitelyReady]

Wht knd of info r u serchng fr & wht knd of filtrs r u hopng fr

You can't be alerted to a comment unless you accept the reaction alert (waste of time); you can't read only discussions or resources, they're all mixed in. You can't automatically know if you're talking to an 18yr old boy in Switzerland when Im a 32 yr old female in America, so another potential waste of time. You're on the second page in a post on a forun you clicked on, but it won't bring you back to your original spot. Just all kinds of annoying, timewasting crap that makes me rather go search for things the "harder" way by way of google.

 

[Darkover]

i agree someone needs to find a way that's super easy reliable peaceful and accessible as it stands rightnow suicide is off the table because of lack of peaceful accessible reliable method

Please don't talk to me as if I'm having a tantrum, and not simply allowed to "vent" a legitimate grievance. You're missing the point entirely. No one in particular knows who this is aimed at so maybe identify the victim before assuaging me as a "meanie" eh? There are way more whiny aggressive "vents" than mine, are you going to parent them all too or am I just super duper special? I actually was just being "nice" by adding in my "perhaps pissy mood," seeing as I have legitimate issues with the operations of this site. Also you're restating the obvious, as I again already said that I did find some useful things, but again, you're missing the point. I'm also aware that it's impossible for anyone besides myself to be responsible for my age.... I was simply stating that maybe it would be helpful to know someone's age before we engage in a conversation that I I wouldn't have othereise engaged in if I knew that person was 18, as it would probably be fruitless. So, for the third time, you missed my point. Maybe quit trying to take jabs, and wear your sassy pants, and treat this place like a schoolyard and actually assess what someone is trying to say and you won't feel so entitled to pass judgement eh? Another thing, if you don't like what I said? Why bother? Just another time waster, which was my whole god damn point. My background maybe be Helga, but I prefer drama be kept to the arts as you can see. Ta ta now.

 

[It'sMyLife]

This is quite a rant. You say this site is littered with the fashionably depressed versus those who truly want to gtfo of this life and your handle is "definitely ready" yet you've been researching for over ten years. I'd say you're definitely not ready . As are not many of us right at the moment but there's no rule that you have to CTB within a set period of time here! Some do join and do depart rather quickly which impresses as well as unnerves me. And saddens me tbh. So how are we going to determine those who are truly serious from those who are just "weeny boppers" when registering ? And if we did block based on a guess wouldn't that count as a form of bias? Because it really would be a guess. I'm trying to imagine the questionnaire you'd have to pass to gain access to SS based on your frustrations. I agree with you that some of the things I read come off as teen angst and/or occasional whining but who am I to criticize? Walk a mile in another's shoes before doing so. Another saying is " those who can do, those who can't criticize ". I couldn't build or run on of these forums but maybe you can. I'd probably join it if you did. If you'd let me
Stay safe out there

Drugs, if I lived in a city I would have bought 10$ of fentanyl pills long ago.

Haha not gonna talk to you at all. I dunno why I felt compelled to say anything in the first place. I don't like when people can't handle their own negativity. People are gonna end their lives here so just mind your own if it makes it hard to cope

I bet there are plenty of 18 yr old boys in Switzerland who would like to talk to a 32 yr old female in America.

 

[DefinitelyReady]

There's already mad guides on methods, if ur that old then why haven't u come up with anything.

I live in America. I'm not savy with buying illegal things. Don't want just a big vomiting session. Can't induce my own pain. May not be able to buy my own gun. Would prefer the cheapest method. I've pulled the trigger, but I only had a minute left alone with the gun and I was like 20 and never touched a gun and didn't know how to get the safety off. I botched the exit bag and nicotine positioning. Cutting with a scalpel hurts like a mother. I would've thought all of these reasons to be assumed that I could use some help. I don't know what was so hard to decipher...

 

[It'sMyLife]

I would add that you have the right to criticize the forum but the f*** off part really isn't necessary. You're sure lighting the board up though I'll give you that

Haha I know. I almost straight up blocked you because this isn't worth my time but I guess I am in a pissy mood. I don't like hypocrites. Really? Again? Practice what you preach much? Obviously you can't cope because tell me to mind my own. Why aren't you just minding your own if my response hit your superiority complex? Lol and you act like "people" are going to end their lives... then why are you here? Just to make condescending snide comments to lift yourself up? I know I don't want to live, but I'm not going to use my time on ignorant arrogant people. Definitely blocked.

omg.. it's so funny

Yeah it's not all bad. Some nice good people. I hope maybe I've helped a few. But trying to read what I just want to read has been a literal sorted pain in my ass. Not cool. Didn't think people would find it funny or even respond lol but glad it amused a few.

No Im pretty much done with this site. These were just my thoughts before I left.

 

[Dark Window]

The most catastrophic thing here is your inability to use paragraphs. Can't be arsed to read a wall of text.

Psssh... Profanity is far less rude than being so intrusive and wasting our time with the same repeated rants that yall blasted her for.

The most catastrophic thing here is your inability to use paragraphs. Can't be arsed to read a wall of text.

I didnt realize I was writing a formal essay on my grievance. I didnt think it necessary to waste my time calculating my sentencing and phrases accordingly. Honestly, this is a suicide site... Where is it more appropriate to be less judged and criticized? Also, I can barely see the screen letters on my phone due to medication so you're lucky its literate at all.

The most catastrophic thing here is your inability to use paragraphs. Can't be arsed to read a wall of text.

Also it's not my problem if reading such a long paragraph is so difficult for you mate. Not going to make that my problem.

I doubt the moderators would care or take it seriously. I was only going to write a few sentences and then it just kept flowing. That's not the way my settings are, but I'm not using the app and don't plan to.
