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.

MODERATORS
Given the number of people I know getting (or trying to get) treatment for depression, I think it's more likely a coping mechanism than a gimmick.
There are a large percentage of millennials that have spent their adult lives shambling between crisis after crisis caused by events entirely beyond their control. After a decade or two of ever changing shit keeping them down, the kind of humour that comes from someone with that experience is not really surprising.
Anyone that comes to that conclusion doesn't know what they're talking about, frankly. And more broadly, anyone that sees the world through the lens of strength vs weakness generally doesn't have much of value to say at all, so they're safe to ignore
