Hello everyone.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
only thing im sick of is the situation youre forced in, friend. please try not to worry about posting too much! it’s shit, the way youre treated, and it’s not your fault this has gone on this long, it’s theirs. you’ve got enough on your plate, don’t post wary of haters. if any show up we’ll take em out back and shoot em for ya!
Thank you! I haven’t had any haters on here but I’ve had two on lemmy. One read a post of mine about my financial issues and then spent weeks sending me messages promising help, but never actually sent any. He had a lot of strikes against him for bad behaviour towards other users already so he finally got banned. Another person on lemmy responded to a post I made about how I feel su1c1d@l sometimes because of my financial situation. He said if I was really serious I would have done it already. He then sent me unsolicited messages giving me detailed instructions on how to obtain the necessary items to commit su1c1d£, and how to carry it out. Other people complained about these public messages and they were deleted but he wasn’t banned and is, in fact, a mod. It’s really disheartening when even people who are supposed to be our comrades behave like this. That’s why I’m always on edge and worried about posting aid requests (for instance a hater could get my email address and use it for some nefarious purpose) but I just have nowhere else to turn.
