Edgy 15 y/o humor I guess? Except these ppl never grew up. It reminds me of how around 5 years ago, “KYS” (kill yourself) was a thing people said to one another a lot.
I have occasionally received a copy when it made sense (like shortly after making a thread titled ‘Should I kill myself?’), but most of the time they’re just confusing. I can’t say that I’ve ever really used the ones that I got either.
I mean, it’s not that bad if it’s a suicide watch message. Doesn’t seem political either, if I got this and I’m not suicidal, I’d just ignore it. I was expecting a warning that you broke Reddit’s rules with something they’re supposed to allow by their own “free speech” policy like criticizing Ukraine or something.
It started with lgbt and trans users with alt right redditors. I used to get these all the time on reddit after I said something particularly left wing or progressive e.g. “I’m bi and I like both, that doesn’t make me weird or less deserving of respect than straight people” and immediately I’d get 3 or 4 of these suicide prevention emails as bigots would use it to report me because I’m insane not being straight apparently.
It started a similar time to when rightoids would make loads of transphobic burner accounts and follow lgbt/trans users so when you looked at your follower list it would have a load of vile and bigoted user names.
Just scum finding ways to use the reddit infrastructure to harass and upset others.
Reddit innit and of course despite the big lgbt+ subs reporting and communicating this to reddit they did nothing par the course. But when those commie shitposters at genzedong came along shakes fist
Oh no, I’m pretty certain someone done this with the idea of trying to troll. Others have talked about this. I see this as similar to how ppl use to say “kys” to one another on the internet in 2017. I’ve been pretty active on the major ‘tAnKiE’ subreddits lately, so that’s probably why.
With that context, it definitely seems more sinister.
What I assumed was (because I’ve done this but never got a suicide watch message), was you were complaining how awful your life is under capitalism and that you’re at the end of your rope. If you weren’t showing potential red flags like that, I imagine this is just passive aggressive and weaponising a suicide support feature which is pretty gross. Guess I still think too highly of Reddit.
Yeah these little “wellness check” reports are quite sinister considering what too often happens during wellness checks IRL.
Leave it to libs and fascists to harass you in novel ways
I’ve gotten two of these. I have no idea what they hope to accomplish with this, it really doesn’t do anything.

My guess is that they are either innocent mistakes (somehow) or the Reddit equivalent to ding‐dong ditch.
Typical reddit bigot harassment tactic.
Couldn’t work on me. I never check my Reddit inbox.

Nah its a form of harassment and trolling.

Holy shit.

It’s harassment. Some subreddits get brigaded hard with that shit.
It is less bad than SWATting, but a similar idea.

The whole thing is disrespectful at best. Regardless of if someone is “suicidal.” How could it possibly help anyone?
