I made my account here while waiting for the instance I actually wanted to come online

I DDL because I live in america and people here tell me there are no good free VPNs (I do not have disposable income)

I swear I’ve seen that website before, it was one where you could see random notes from other players of the website I think.

It’s not the book that OOP was thinking of, but you’re probably thinking of Meanwhile by Jason Shiga.

I apologize for my brevity, I typed this on mobile.

A while ago, I was hanging out in a Discord server, talking about whatever, when this guy comes along.

He starts talking all about how he’s super depressed and the only one he has to talk to is his girlfriend, he’s afraid she’ll leave him as he can’t hold a job. Normal depression stuff.

I am trying to console him, give him suggestions to get out of his situation, all while a helpful moderator stops the chat so that me and this suicidal guy can talk.

All of a sudden he says, [sic] she just left me ima kms

I start typing a response, when some guy replies to that message with “cool”. I’ve been around the internet a few times, I am not surprised by a dick. What I am surprised about is what the Helpful Moderator did after:

The Helpful Moderator sided with the ‘cool’ guy, told the obviously depressed person to knock it off, and timed the guy out, later followed by a permanent ban, all for “faking being suicidal”.

I contacted an admin, but even after they lifted the ban and scolded the moderator, I never saw that guy again.

I feel so sorry for camping with steve
