I got curious about how bad Hexbear was according to sh.itjust.works and told myself “i should document it and make a post about it if it’s really that bad”

        CW: suicide, CWs for sexual violence/drugs/transphobia

        The post body more than the word suicide, the drop-down spoiler tag allows people to choose to engage with the given topic and protects users’ mental health

        This is particularly important so that people with the related trauma aren’t triggered into re-experiencing that trauma and to prevent the vulnerable people on the site from relapsing into suicidal ideation or planning

        The site asks for the same CWs for sexual violence and transphobia, the warning contains the word but the drop-down spoiler tagging allows people the choice to engage with comments that discuss or describe it, or choose not to read something that would be triggering for them.

        Inadvertently stumbling upon descriptions of suicide, sexual violence, or other things like drugs can be very stressful, traumatic or even dangerous for users, so giving other community members to choice to engage is a necessary part of creating and maintaining safe and inclusive spaces.
