RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I feel like calling people "trolls" and drawing attention to it just because you disagree is a bit unfair. (lemmy.world)

like, going on someone's post just to call them a troll or an attention seeker for venting is wild to me, maybe i'm overreacting. but still, just ignore the person rather than cause drama because you think their mental illness is trolling?? i mean anyone who does this in general. now, i often don't know the full story, but i still find it unfair in general.

These people should just be ignored IMHO...

Like, just ignore them if you don't like what they have to say. That being said, some people should absolutely stop what they're doing or post less, but others shouldn't have drama started if they're venting. After all, you never know what someone is going through, it's not always fake or for "internet points". Also, for people who are attention-seeking, rather than shame them for it, it means there's something they're not getting, whether it's at home or what.
