Discussion Channel w/ More Elaboration

[bitter loom]

I feel like there needs to be some sort of mental health discussion channel for those who aren’t as triggered by certain topics. Often times there’s an interesting discussion in main chat going on about mental health professionals, or mental health in general. And people have a multitude of opinions about it.

It can be a very informative chat with a separate role, so that people know what they’re getting into. If moderated correctly, it can be a controlled discussion: like a socratic seminar.

It’s important for people who WANT to discuss these things and form different opinions without disrespecting each other. And without triggering someone, because well, it’s not in main chat.

I’m not an admin or the owner so I won’t have much say in this. But while the intention of wanting to discuss and share information is positive, it wouldn’t take long for it to turn into a daily argument channel. Firstly a moderation nightmare, and secondly it doesn’t add much to the ‘therapy’ part of TTC. There are a lot of other servers I’m sure that allow you to discuss the topics you are wanting to.

And additionally, while cool topics about mental health and psychology are absolutely wonderful, the chances that 30k people all agree to keep it on those topics is… pretty much zero. If you want to discuss that I believe there’s a psychology server in #affiliations.
