I’ve created a care package DM that I send every user who gets a post removed. It includes the phone number to an international suicide hotline, a .GIF of Rei Ayanami smiling (original series), a selection from 101 motivational sayings generated by DeepSeek, various compliments on their posting style, and a 60,000 word personal testimony on how I learned to overcome the psycho-terror of being digitally silenced.
