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.

(I couldn't go to thelemmy.club for some reason nor could I access it on Photon or whatever, so I made an account here, i am @nonBInary.)

I hate to complain again, but I just wanted to say, why are people on social media in general so rude? (This did not happen on Lemmy or the Fediverse, by the way).

Like seriously, I was ranting about being abused and harmed and stuff and I wrote an angry letter about how I was treated badly for being different and Person A was just talking about how I should go fuck myself and how I was lying and should die or something like that.

I said "Ok, troll," to A and this other person, B, said that A had a point because I "refused to take accountability for my actions" and that it was my fault I was being treated badly and that maybe I deserved it, yada yada yada.

And then A was talking about how I was a stupid bitch for complaining about it on Unsent Letters instead of talking it out, when 1, I was blocked, 2, I don't have to apologize or explain anything to someone who stalked and threatened me. 3, Unsent Letters is for writing your feelings towards people in a letter you'll never send, is it not? Yet I got downvoted a bunch and told all this stuff and how I was bad and "just because I was autistic didn't mean anything and it was still my fault and I need to take accountability".

Literally, all I did was ask for simple boundaries like "do you like hugs"? And one time I tried to be friends with C IRL and approach her. All I said was "Hi". D, the girl who stalked and harassed me, accused me of eavesdropping and called me a creepy stalker who deserved to die all because I dared say hi to C. She also said that I was a threat and I should never speak to her or C or her friends "or else" and she was gonna "do whatever it took to get rid of me and make sure I was gone", which I may or may not take as a death threat(?) (I'm not sure).

Seriously, how do I deserve all that even if I did something wrong I wasn't aware of?
