Report Blog Entry
when i get really bored on this website, i go onto the blog section to read what other people yap about. and man, the THINGS some of yall are yapping about... needless to say, it's time for yet another one of my top blog posts.
tell me, WHY do some of you guys post your personal thoughts for the whole website to see? do you despise the privacy settings that you have to navigate around before you can click that "publish blog entry" button? i get the whole "oh but it's anonymous and nobody knows my identity so why do you care!!" argument, but:
1. yeah, you might think that because the website grants you a bit of anonymity you're safe, but it's actually not the case most of the time. just because this particular site doesn't sell your data, doesn't mean that you can act careless about what you're sharing. anonymity is a blessing and a curse - there are MANY, MANY predators out there who use everything you share for the sake of their ill intents, who are waiting for a chance to find out your weaknesses and push on them to get you to do what they want you to.
2. personal info is called personal for a reason - it implies that such information should not be disclosed to just anyone (if anyone at all). again, the website grants you the capability to choose if you want to make your post public or private or friends only, etc. USE IT!!
while i know how isolating it may feel to go through hard times, it doesn't mean that you should tell a whole bunch of people how you want to rip someone's guts, or how you want to K yourself, or share your life situation with extreme details. nobody needs to know that.
the alternatives were and always will be there - your notes app is a better and private venting place (you can always lock your notes) than a public blog page on spacehey or a "venting acc" on tiktok. even having a diary where you write with a real pen is so, so much better. besides that, you can always talk to somebody privately, somebody that you actually trust.
most of you guys on spacehey are so young, i know your feelings get the best of you at that age, but please look out for yourself - you can't always expect other people to do it for you.

Hey, how did you get those album covers to animate like that and display the titles??? Would you mind sending me the code?
i believe i found the code for that in layouts and it was called something like "vinyl gallery" ^_^ i have a lot of code in different parts of my layout so i don't think i'll know which one is the one needed, i'm sorry :(

I think the whole point is about how people feel the necessity to tell everyone about everything. I remember being in a community where people would say terrible things (not just about themselves, but about others too) and it was kinda of normal at that point?
I think the main problem is when young people do that, because the worst it is, i like to talk about personal things and personal opinions too! but we learn living in this earth that not everybody is good or does care after all, and they may not know this. This also is good for us to know ourselves better.
And the fact is that if you're a grown up and you want to share with the world your hole body and soul, that's okay! But there are people who is really uncomfortable with it, and it's that combo of: who doesn't like, get off. who likes to show and say, find their people!
But at a time something can influence someone, it needs to be a careful action. I got your point, but it's a hard topic, ngl... At the end we just scroll it up and forget it there, but there is people who really get attracted to that kind of post.
finally someone who really understood what i was talking about! thank you!

I guess talking about your day and thoughts when you feel like you need to say something it's fine since people need to get their feelings out, but a lot of them share a lot of information like the places they're staying in, the names of them and the people they know, their insecurities which could be used by people online as a way of being more effective with their comments actually causing harm, it just should be handled more carefuly overall

Please think about what you wrote. You mentioned that most of them are young people, and you wonder why they share personal stories? It is completely normal to share about issues that young people experience. Many people don't have the opportunity to share their problems with anyone, so they use this as an outlet. Of course everyone needs to be careful online, but telling people that they shouldn't talk about their suicidal thoughts is extremely dangerous and damaging.
If someone has suicidal thoughts, please talk to them, or contact someone who could talk to them. If you don't like what other people talk about online, then just ignore those posts / comments (except if they are suicidal or they are being harmed).
I understand your intention to warn people about protecting their privacy, but if someone is suicidal then we should encourage them to talk about it with someone. And if their situation is critical, we should contact the site admin, and potentially emergency services / police.
If anyone out there is experiencing hard times, please know that there are people who care. Maybe they are right next to you, or you just need to find them! There is many mental health professionals who will do anything to help you. We all touch the bottom sometimes, but sooner or later things will change, believe me!
did i ever say sucidial people should NEVER talk about their struggles? i said they shouldn't post their destructive THOUGHTS because they are not the only people in the world with such struggles and they should be mindful about it. suicide talk can easily trigger someone else who has the same problems, and talking about the ways to end your life is wrong to say the least. maybe it was unclear in my original post, i was only talking about the times people take such discussions too far. this is all coming from my younger self partially, - i struggled with depression for years and thoughts of ending my life were a constant in my mind. being such an impressionable teen that i was, seeing someone talk about the way they want to end it all and putting the thoughts i also had into words could easily cement those destructive ideas in my head. you don't tell people who struggle with ed to promote it further and post body checks and triggering text posts? why would you want for depressed people/people with suicidal thoughts to romantisize it and push it further?

People share their thoughts not for themselves, but for validation from others. They are attention seeking

Omg dawg this reminds me of this blog someone wrote about this roblox doors fangame and the amount of pure hatred they expressed was crazy, in the replies it was found they fr typed it when they were having a whole mental breakdown. Like dawg
I remember it
I told them to delete the blog but they didn't even listen, it really was not that deep at all.

Forreal. Like why would you have a mental breakdown in blogs and leave it up for everyone to see. Like keep it in private blogs or something

I agree with this, it's best to write it in a private journal. I find it weird how some individuals show their personal lives it just feels so exposed honestly.
I recommend individuals go to therapy if they're dealing with tough things, or talk to someone at least. It might help things out.

I completely agreed things need to be kept PRIVATE like don't be telling the world EVERYTHING like sometimes you just need write on a diary and STAY OFF THE INTERNET.

Yes, I completely agree with you. And it's not rude or cruel to say that, it's safety.
Your post is very important, congratulations.

yeah we need to bring back diaries

Sometimes I kinda wonder why some people have such an OBSESSION with showcasing everything that happens on their lives, even the more deranged stuff. I guess they are doing it because they crave validation more than anything, like they want people to know what's happening to them. Either that or they think everyone wants to know about their lives
maybe it's the pain that messes with your head. when i was younger and didn't have anyone, i wanted the whole world to know how hurt i was on the inside as well, which is so sickening looking back at it...
