Some of these people are really struggling with depression or other undesirable mental/emotional/brain states (assuming the posts are made by humans and not some software).
Realistically there's nothing I can do to help these people so I guess I will just ignore (as best I can) posts about wanting to die, etc.
But I wonder what it says about me that I prefer online communities where these kinds of posts are common. I am not myself wanting to die, taking any drugs for other than recreational purposes, or feeling especially bad about my life.
I am also not seeking taboo content like videos of people dying, illegal pornography, speech that attacks a person or a group on the basis of protected attributes, etc.
I just like anonimity (or a rough approximation of it -- I am using this site on clearweb and not trying to obscure my ip from the site, my ISP, or anything like that). But maybe the decision to value anonymity enough to use a social site where Suicidal Content (seemingly the term of art? https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/305410456169423?_fb_noscript=1) is allowed is a decision that itself makes me a nasty freak?
But I don't think so...
Would Suicidal Content be equally common on mainstream social sites absent moderation systems?
