Discussion Where did you first hear of SS?

[Sra_TZ]

Ironically, I first read about SS in an article advocating against it. Just curious to know where others first heard of this community?

Thanks to duckduck go search result

Thanks to duckduck go search result

The way I met SS was so random that I no longer remember it, but DuckDucKGoat helped me

 

[Adamsnolife]

Just an accidental random search on Google.

 

[Winklemate]

Pretty sure I found it on google while searching up stuff about inert gas asphyxiation.

I think it might have been in a critical article also. I'd always wanted to find a community like this but never knew one existed.

I never imagined the existence of such a community either, much less the fact that the site could be easily accessed by a simple google search.

On Reddit. Ironically, they were telling the readers not to kill themselves.

Back when there was the Sanctioned Suicide subreddit?

 

[SleepDealer]

Same as OP. I found an article talking about how awful and dangerous this place is, and then promptly looked it up after the writer so carelessly mentioned the actual name of the forum. They did a really good job of stopping people from seeking out these kinds of communities, as you can see.

I heard about it, it is a great community for those needing help advice and support. Glad I went looking and found SS

 

[HappyForever?]

I heard about the sub on reddit and googled it out of curiosity.

 

[Nohopeinhell]

Actual googled "how to commit suicide" 1st page on google 2nd link down straight after the samaritans "how can we help you" LOL

I remembering googling up this in my younger years. Never came across this site back then. All I got was page after page of "There is help out there!" and "what to do if you're thinking of committing suicide" and a plethora of hotlines lol.

 

[suicidesheep31]

I googled "How to hang myself" and found this platform :)

 

[ClownMe]

Yes! This is also how I found SS. I wish I had have found this forum sooner.

 

[Depressed_Kettle]

I think I found it through a search or a friend.

 

[Sra_TZ]

Yes! This is also how I found SS. I wish I had have found this forum sooner.

A curious way of coming across SS. Either way, glad you joined this community

 

[lv-gras]

[Bigpink]

Just a random Google search nearly 2 years ago. Still not been able to ctb, fuck

I found SS while searching for partial hanging via DuckDuckGo.

It's interesting how a lot of people came across SS while researching various suicide methods

I hope you find peace, regardless of whether you choose life or death

Yep. SS on Reddit.

Ironic, isn't it? The Forbidden Fruit Effect.

Even though it didn't go into the specifics, when I saw this article I just knew I had to check out the 'pro-choice suicide forum'. GGWP, VICE.

Same with me! Glad I found this site

 

[FuneralCry]

I first came across SS because of the media attention towards it. The article I was reading did not name the site but soon enough I found this place.

Not in my search :P

 

[CatTheBus5689]

I actually don't even remember anymore, it was either lost all hope or by chance on duckduckgo. It was probably when I was looking up how methods and looking into firearms.

 

[fruit-loops]

I discovered it by italian news about a series of young italian SS users died by ingesting SN. They were saying that "finally" the forum was obscured and made inaccessible. A simple search brought me here

Exacly the same xDD
