@vahnj Just wanted to let you know that this account lives on at compassion.online . The instances is setup and rolling on a dedicated VPS 😁

We've also got an info site up with further details and ability for people to request accounts at info.compassion.online.

A federation request was submitted via your standard forms and we look forward to hopefully federating in the future.

All the best, thank you for managing awoo and loads of 🤗 and ❤

This account is going defunct very very soon.

compassion.online will be the new home going forward.

@Food@mastodon.art I'm not sure what would be best in that situation.

I know MediaGoblin is heavily recommended for such things but I don't know where it would be cost-effective to host. Depending on the size of the archive hosting can get expensive fast 😉

Thank you for the support, I know they appreciate it.

And to Chester from Linkin Park, thank you for the memories and for getting me through high school, a particularly sour patch in my life. As a final gift, thank you for giving me the strength to finally post in a community that I was scared to show myself to. May you rest in peace, you will truly be missed.

I will not judge you but offer an ear if you so desire. I only ask that if you need help - ask, seek, and fight. You have value and purpose, uniqueness that is as individual as you.

I will be the first to say that I do NOT understand where an individual is at mentally, emotionally, spiritually to end their journey in life. I am NOT them. I have my own thoughts and understandings, experiences, and pain. I can empathize and I can do whatever I can to show you are not alone. I know not a soul here – but if you want or need – I am here for you.

Death is sad. Suicide is sad. The loss of a life is sad. However it is not something that can be diminished as a joke, as an inconsequential occurrence. Value life and value individuals. (It really is not a revolutionary concept.) Suicide is not funny, it is not a joke, and sure as hell nothing to be taken lightly.

This mind set I want to end. I crave to end. I have been shamed for being a victim, for not having the emotions that I “should” for not behaving or thinking the way that I “should”. There is no “should” there is only what you, the individual is or feels or thinks. Each person has their own individual truths and there can not be judgement for the uniqueness that is a population or a species.

I read countless joking notes about how only the members of “whiney, emo bands” and not the “true, talented bands” would do such a thing in the wake of the passing of the lead singer of Linkin Park Chester on the birthday of his dear friend who took his life a few short months ago. Or how could someone so successful have such a hard time. How are they really be struggling, they have everything after-all. That someone is a coward or weak.

Something pulling so strong that the only solution is to choose to let this life go.

I have spent weeks (yes I know…) debating what my first post should be, what I felt was worthy to be seen by all of you. The immeasurably talented and artistic community that I thrive to be a part of. Today, however something clicked after reading so much hate on my Facebook page that was seeped in shaming and judgement over such a tragic topic as suicide. I can not fathom why we still shame victims and presume to understand what is going on is someone else’s world.

I received the following toots from anther Mastodon user yesterday. They knew they wanted the post to be seen but didn't feel confident posting it through their normal account.

The subtoots to this are their words, unedited.

CW: suicide/intention & understanding 

@OsirisSaline That's exactly what I was thinking for anything more than the basics.

For now I've tried to stick to simple posts that could use some encouragement.

This is also the reason why this account will NOT be automated via a bot or similar. Mental health is a sensitive topic and people deserve more than a bot.

How does everyone like this account? Keep it up or shut it down?

I'd like to gauge reception before going further.
