I'm going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.

I’m really worried for those who use third party apps and depend on r/stopdrinking. That community single-handedly helped me get sober.

I fear that someone who is on the brink of breaking sobriety and wants to reach out on r/stopdrinking, not being able to access it from the app they normally use would be just enough of a hurdle for them to give in and start drinking again.

Makes me really sad to think about since it can be a dark place and the people there are so genuinely caring.

    there was a quote from a reddit exec recently about how awful it was that people were 'sharing things that they wouldn't even say in therapy' which were going un-monetized. sick, sick people

    i subbed to lots of mental health subs which were invaluable in the last 10 years. 1.5yrs sober as well. hope lemmy is a good alt; hopefully there won't be any automod bullshit, like towards the end i couldn't even get a post through in /r/depression, i mean my god

    This is the subreddit I'll miss most. I'm at about 120 days after 20 years of drinking because of the people in that sub inspiring me. I would start a similar community here but I don't really feel like I could handle running something like that.

    Congrats on 120 days! It will be two years on July 8 for me.

    I had the same thought about spinning one up here. I’m not sure I’d be capable of running a community like that especially with how much of a tight ship they’ve got running.

    I wonder if it would be worth posting and asking about it there or DM’ing a mod perhaps. Maybe I’ll give that a go.
