I think it’s damaging to move posts of someone reaching out

There was a post where a person was reaching out for advice because they’re suicidal. I saw the announcement for the rules about these posts, because it’s triggering for others to post that type of content and creates a domino effect of sorts. But I’ve been in that place before and when someone reaches out you shouldn’t alienate them even more, they already feel alone. Her post was moved into oblivion which means it’s not in a group anymore. Not any better than deleting it. People aren’t going to be able to see it.

I just don’t understand how this helps anyone and find it possibly extremely damaging when all someone is trying to do is reach out. I’m trying to justify this rule in my mind because in hindsight I understand it but all I can think about is how that would’ve made me feel when I was in that place and it makes me want to cry. Some people don’t know how to get help for themselves sometimes, and I think having the option to post anonymously on this app helps people talk about things they wouldn’t otherwise be comfortable talking about.

If you are the user that posted that post, feel free to message me anytime. I’ll talk to you about anything.
