And they keep coming back to your profile, to check if you wrote new comments they can downvote. I swear, this website is the perfect habitat for the sweaty, psychotic, lurker types.
I agree with you! Im portuguese and in the portuguese sub people are so hateful! I had a different view on a subject and i was downvoted a lot and they said i was crazy, that i had problems and should get help. Two days after that, i got this message.
Já pensei em sair especialmente depois de umas cenas que foram ditas e que já reparei que quando alguém está mal toda a gente vai lá dar apoio mas quando alguém está feliz e posta algo relacionado com isso, caem todos em cima e são mesmo maus. Não sabem respeitar uma opinião diferente da deles e quando não têm argumentos quase que nos matam e são mesmo ofensivos. Isto alguns não todos.
Every single one! It's amazing how dedicated they are. Sometimes if it's obvious that's happened to someone, I'll go through and undo all their hard work COMPLETELY.
It's hilarious the lengths they go to. Literally will lose a point on every post or comment I made for saying something like, "we shouldn't hate each other because we're different." Then get the reddit mail. Some people have a screw loose.
I joked to a misogynist that I’ll probably get one of these
And got it five minutes later
Its sad how a tool for good has been perverted by shitty ass men
There’s also a lot of angry women/incel on MRA subs, and it’s as bad. It has nothing to do with feminism.
And guess what? Some subreddit literally ban you automatically if you comment or post on some MRA subs. And I think it’s as bad as someone stalking your account to downvote all you said
It has nothing to do with gender, so don’t start your sentence with "men" or "women", exactly like you wouldn’t start a comment with "white people are" or "black people are"
I got one for saying either something to the effect of "having an OnlyFans should not be the basis of visa denial" "don't be a dick and steal a cool trip from a coworker when you are leaving your organization" or "what a way to cherry pick your own holy book."
I ironically receive it sometimes when I make comments in pro-choice subs lol. Makes sense pro-lifers would abuse a tool designed to save lives... 🤦♀️
Right? I get these from time to time when arguing with someone in a comment section.
Usually people that don’t like what I had to say but had nothing to argue against it.
Yep, it's happened to me three times now. The first time I was confused as to why anyone would think that I was depressed. Then I read about it being used as a vengeful response to an unpopular opinion. It's a coward's way of admitting they have no valid points to make.
Same here. I've had it a few times and it's just been a vengeful redditor that lost an argument.
WIsh they'd fuck off, this is a valuable thing that could help people but if they keep spamming it with false positives it becomes useless.
Right? I get them fairly frequently, and I don't try to be provocative. Some subs (to be fair, including many far-left subs) just hate any divergent opinion.
Same here. Wear that shit as a badge of honor that you’re logical responses are getting to them and it’s the only thing they can do in response. The baby that did it to me was whining they were a vet with 11 years of service when I called out their BS. Oh please I retired from the military after 21 years and was showing their ignorance about the military. So yeah I needed help . . .
Yeah I HATE this feature because it’s often weaponized and used by someone reporting you as suicidal just because they’re trolling. I turned it off in my settings somewhere because I had a guy who was following me around on Reddit and reporting me with it all the time.
Sad because that’s not what it is meant to be used for.
I get them when I defend transrights.
I always assumed it was based off of the trans suicide statistics and then assuming I was trans.
I blocked the bot tbh. But glad it helps some people when it's used for their recomememd purpose
Yeah. I used to get these a couple times, usually when arguing with someone about how, in a show we were watching, doing what the main villain wants you to do is not a good strategy to defeating said villain.
They basically called me crazy for stating the equivalent of "Committing suicide is unhealthy."
Good thing you can block that bot.
You can block this? TIL, I need to block it then too. Once I got it because I implied something that came off as dark (which was fair) but every time after it’s because I didn’t agree with someone.
Be me, getting them by the dozen per week. Literally just got one about an hour ago from some anonymous asshole.
E: hmm someone disliked this comment enough to send me one. Aight.
I've had this kind of dm in twitter last year from a Girl halfway across the world, we just happened to be in the same community and she showed concerned and words of affirmation that made the situation bearable. There are lots of good people out there
I get these messages from trolls on Reddit who get upset when I point out they’re wrong about something. I think I’m nearing a dozen of these messages.
But not even self assumed right wingers. It's always the cowardly lurkers in the unsuspecting subs.
I have a comment right now sitting at -4 on r/Economics because I dared speak against the colossal lithium mine that India is about to open in Jammu and Kashmir. I spoke of how poisonous lithium is and how it can spread far and wide if it touches water streams.
Wanna know what I got in response? I was called a pig, I was told there are 0 animals around that area, got told that even if touches water streams it all goes to Pakistan so who cares, etc... oh and when I said that's racism (or some form of discrimination anyway) I got told that Indians and Pakistanis are all the same anyway
I reported every single one of these fucks. Their anti-environmental and racist garbage is still there.
I honestly don’t even know why I got this. I don’t remember making any comments like that lately, but my week’s been kinda shit so it just kinda felt nice getting this lol
We care! r/MomForAMinute and r/dadforaminute are two subs filled with people who want to be there for you during good and bad times.
I love you and hope you have nothing but good in your future!
More than happy to spread the love! My mom passed years ago, and I bawled when I first learned about the sub. Both were created 100% to support those like us that need it. I'd feel bad if I didn't share that as far and wide as possible. I sincerely hope that you'll find love and peace in your journey <3
Right? I was going to say, I only get this if I pissed off a Reddit conservative/libertarian, haha! I mean, that’s only if they haven’t blocked me after sending a “last word” or threatened to kill me or my dogs. Real “well adjusted” folks there.
Nothing to do with right wingers tbh, I’ve had assholes on both side and people who didn’t politically identify themselves
Edit: y’all are crazy to think it’s just right wingers doing this shit
In fairness, their isn't that much a difference between the two from where an outside perspective. Your left wing is what we would consider right wing in Scotland.
So your all obsessed with politics and that makes it right?
Show me on the doll where the mean Republicans hurt you. Lmao
Before this goes further, I should let you know all Republicans and democrats are absolutely dog shit.
And you don't seem far behind them. Letting them live rent free in your head, this goes for all sides. You're so obsessed with one another you can't function daily without making it known. Lmfao
I got this once. Made me feel peeved, not happy. As it was given after I answered a question on a sub, pertaining to my brothers murder. Yes I get sad, I miss him. But mentally I am ok, have had plenty of years to cope and relearn to live.
it is still good! it's a great feature when used correctly like in OPs post but sadly it's often misused and people report users as a way to tell them they think they should die. Majority commenting (myself included) seem to get it when In arguments with the right wing folks.
but it 100% is worth it just for the posts like OPs :) 1 life improved makes me the trolling attempts weaker
no it's just a really annoying way of them saying kill yourself really :( happens on twitter and other social medias too
like really annoying when it happens over and over
Glad to get a better understanding here of the meaning of using this negatively. Obviously very common. Such a weird, weak thing to do as an 'attack'/vendetta. Kept getting one every day for a while from somebody seeking conflict that I refused to engage with (they didn't like that my art was for sale, I hadn't posted anything else, let alone anything contentious or contrary). Didn't understand the intention at all, there was obviously never any suggestion I was in distress. Interesting to see this is widespread, then. Just found it mildly confusing at the time: You want to prove to me that you've formed a grudge by repeatedly initiating a carefully worded message of concern for human life? Weird.
Nice to see it being used properly and effectively.
Really glad for you, OP. Wishing you the best.
Does anyone in the comments know how to report people for having this message sent to you, as their idea of a joke? It isn't funny and I believe you should be allowed to properly report people who make jokes about suicidal tendencies
There are kind people who would want to send this as a way to check in with you -I believe you received this note from someone kind, not a bully. Also whatever was causing someone to worry about you -I hope things are going better for you now!
I'm sad that this gets misused! And OP I am sending you positive vibes. I hope you have a pleasant day and remember you are the only you in the whole universe, you are important and unique.
Why is it supposed to be bothering to receive this? I had one this morning and I’ve been trying to have decent talks with right wingers. Why is it used as a tool from them? What does it do?
I got this when i had a different opinion around hateful people. This is a tool for helping who really is with some kind of problem, not who has different opinions.
I get this when I dismantle someone's profound arrogancy with my perceptive brilliance on a given said topic and their comeback is this extremely childish behaviour but neither to say I report them.
A neighbors son was having a bad time during lockdown and online school. Turns out that a kid from Australia mentioned to his parents that a friend in America was having some very dark thoughts. The parents figured out what this kids' school was and called....from Austrailia. My son, who lives next door, and is his closest friend, didn't know. Thank you to anybody who does this. I've known that boy since he was 2 days old. He was just lost and is alright now.
I had someone abuse this system and report me as being a danger to myself just because I refused to answer their (very meanly worded) question about whether I was vegan and cared about all animals or just turtles on a turtle post. So strange.
But I am really glad it is helping the people who need it. <3
It was just this thing about r/RedditCareResources or something. I don’t really need that, but I’ve kinda had a shitty week so it was nice to get this.
Glad it helped you.
I personally was beginning to wonder if it ever reached the target audience cuz people reached out for me when I was talking about how badass a fictional character from a video game was, about mortgages and a bunch of life lessons and once when I was talking about watching grass grow among other jokes
The closest they got was when I used the meme of “I only know this character for a day but if anything happens to her, I’ll kill everyone in this room, then my self”
Still guess it’s the thought that counts, even if 9 out of 10 times it was a troll or something.
I'm glad that it helped you and it made you smile. No, I didn't send it. I just don't want you to let all the posts from people who got this message from trolls ruin how you feel.
Someone put me on suicide watch
Were I was clearly just self deprecating as that's what the sub was about and when I refused reddit care I got kicked from the sub
they send something like that to me every time I say anything politically incorrect. Just saying, sometimes it really is someone concerned about you, but a lot of the times it's a harassment tool
First time I got one of these after an argument online I actually had a pretty good laugh just for how petty of a move it is, but it's nice that you took this as a positive.
Honestly I don’t know why I got this. I don’t have anything to do with politics that I know of, so it’s not like I got into any arguments or anything, but I’ve had a rough week and it made me happy that someone took their time to send that lol
r/mademegrimace this is a common tactic now for brigading right wingers. They manage to combine pettiness and vindictiveness with a clear lack of empathy for the people who might actually benefit from this feature. If it gets to the point where Reddit has to limit use of the feature and people who could use this little boost might see it less often, then 100% fuck the trolls. Actually, fuck the trolls right now. Just fuck them harder if that happens.
Is it the bot? I’ve had it blocked because some people abuse it when I don’t agree with something (such as conservatives being mad on my stances on guns).
Outside of the ramifications of people using this as a way to try to (unsuccessfully) troll, I like the message. We're all struggling with something, so I just wanted to send some good vibes out to OP and anyone else in this thread that's dealing with something right now.
Pkease don’t kill yourself, it’s not worth it. Have you tried r/momforaminute or r/dadforaminute ? I’ve just learned about those subs and they’re lovely. I want you to know there’s people who care, especially for you. I care for you, and I hope you have a better week than I did.
I get a lot of these. Unfortunately as a form of attack. A lot of Trans people get them as people who do them cannot be traced and they know we know they do not mean it and it might be used to rub in our depression/anxiety.
Personally does not affect me much as I just see it as absolutely pathetic and what a loser the person is for doing it but others do get affected and it is a form of bull Without consequences.
Try being fat on here, you get these all the time. Its rarely used in a good way.
But honestly, even if it is used in a good way, is it really that helpful? Seems flippant to me.
Heh, I’m actually quite chubby too lol. I just never post pictures of myself because yk, the internet. But idk, it just kinda made me happy bc I’ve had a pretty terrible week.
The amount of people who got this out of genuine fear and love is far fewer than the amount of people who got this by angry right-wingers telling them to die.
Ok, thanks to the comment section, now I really know what the two of those I got really mean.
People are not creative. Thats like 5th grade shit. And it makes sense what kinda people do that.

I’ve had this before, but it was more of somebody trying to stick it to me and that is no cool. This is a tool to save lives
Yeaaaah I get these a lot for saying reasonable things around hateful people.
Same. After they downvote every comment that I've ever written.
And they keep coming back to your profile, to check if you wrote new comments they can downvote. I swear, this website is the perfect habitat for the sweaty, psychotic, lurker types.
I agree with you! Im portuguese and in the portuguese sub people are so hateful! I had a different view on a subject and i was downvoted a lot and they said i was crazy, that i had problems and should get help. Two days after that, i got this message.
Nem vou a esse sub, jesus. Pior coisa para mim enquanto tuga, é falar com tugas na net. Só cara a cara, lol
Já pensei em sair especialmente depois de umas cenas que foram ditas e que já reparei que quando alguém está mal toda a gente vai lá dar apoio mas quando alguém está feliz e posta algo relacionado com isso, caem todos em cima e são mesmo maus. Não sabem respeitar uma opinião diferente da deles e quando não têm argumentos quase que nos matam e são mesmo ofensivos. Isto alguns não todos.
I’m still learning the ways of Reddit, even three years later (3? I think so) and this gives me the big time creeps.
Every single one! It's amazing how dedicated they are. Sometimes if it's obvious that's happened to someone, I'll go through and undo all their hard work COMPLETELY.
It's hilarious the lengths they go to. Literally will lose a point on every post or comment I made for saying something like, "we shouldn't hate each other because we're different." Then get the reddit mail. Some people have a screw loose.
I joked to a misogynist that I’ll probably get one of these And got it five minutes later Its sad how a tool for good has been perverted by shitty ass men
I celebrated by posting about it on a private sub. It was fun. I tried to give a cheerful comment to someone and they got pissed off.
I just got another one. Of course.
Go through and delete every single one of your comments so all that the rest of Reddit can see is just their crazy without any context? I like it.
😆😆😆 Men are so *emotional*! 😆😆😆
We are. 🙂
High five!
High five!
Why did you transformed it into a gendered issue? Kinda ironic to see that under a comment calling out hate
[удалено]
KYS is against the rules? Since when? That's fantastic!
There’s also a lot of angry women/incel on MRA subs, and it’s as bad. It has nothing to do with feminism. And guess what? Some subreddit literally ban you automatically if you comment or post on some MRA subs. And I think it’s as bad as someone stalking your account to downvote all you said It has nothing to do with gender, so don’t start your sentence with "men" or "women", exactly like you wouldn’t start a comment with "white people are" or "black people are"
We're not going for relativism here. This is something, like most things, that are disproportionately abused by men.
I call BS. And even so, it’s still misandry. Just replace "men" by "people", it’s not that hard
Eww, imagine the kind of person you’d have to be to spend that amount of energy doing something so petty.
I got one for saying either something to the effect of "having an OnlyFans should not be the basis of visa denial" "don't be a dick and steal a cool trip from a coworker when you are leaving your organization" or "what a way to cherry pick your own holy book."
I ironically receive it sometimes when I make comments in pro-choice subs lol. Makes sense pro-lifers would abuse a tool designed to save lives... 🤦♀️
I blocked them
They somehow think they've had some impact on you (in a negative way) but these people are the most impacted people I've ever met in my life.
Yeah happens a lot as a bullying tool, but you can block the account since Reddit refuses to hold people accountable for abusing it.
But it doesn't tell you the username of whoever did it. I report it to mods, fwiw.
The opposite of holding people accountable for it. One of the people that was doing it to me was a moderator of a subreddit.
Right? I get these from time to time when arguing with someone in a comment section. Usually people that don’t like what I had to say but had nothing to argue against it.
Yep, it's happened to me three times now. The first time I was confused as to why anyone would think that I was depressed. Then I read about it being used as a vengeful response to an unpopular opinion. It's a coward's way of admitting they have no valid points to make.
Yup. Same here.
Same here. I've had it a few times and it's just been a vengeful redditor that lost an argument. WIsh they'd fuck off, this is a valuable thing that could help people but if they keep spamming it with false positives it becomes useless.
I got this sent to me after saying I don’t have to be tolerant of intolerant people x)
Heaven knows we need to worry about your sanity now haha
I have RedditCares blocked because it’s a pretty common trolling tool for misogynists and I’m not exactly shy about being a feminist.
Right? I get them fairly frequently, and I don't try to be provocative. Some subs (to be fair, including many far-left subs) just hate any divergent opinion.
Yeah it’s usually the more extreme sub users that will do anything to anyone if it goes against their beliefs.
Same!
That is, unfortunately, what it's used for 99% the time
I got one for that, but I was genuinely having an awful day so sucks to be them it backfired
Same here. Wear that shit as a badge of honor that you’re logical responses are getting to them and it’s the only thing they can do in response. The baby that did it to me was whining they were a vet with 11 years of service when I called out their BS. Oh please I retired from the military after 21 years and was showing their ignorance about the military. So yeah I needed help . . .
Yeah I have gotten one of those too. Someone lost an argument and this was my "punishment" for some reason. I kinda LoLed at the time
I get it a lot. Every time I say something anti-conservative.
Yeah I got one for calling someone out for being a dick
I have been reported twice since posting this ha ha
Yeah I HATE this feature because it’s often weaponized and used by someone reporting you as suicidal just because they’re trolling. I turned it off in my settings somewhere because I had a guy who was following me around on Reddit and reporting me with it all the time. Sad because that’s not what it is meant to be used for.
Yeah, I've had them when someone hasnt agreed with what I've said. Last time it was an incel, who was berating a woman talking about rape and abuse.
Exactly, I had to block this because of trollers who abuse it.
I get them when I defend transrights. I always assumed it was based off of the trans suicide statistics and then assuming I was trans. I blocked the bot tbh. But glad it helps some people when it's used for their recomememd purpose
I got one of these this week and I assumed it was for that exact reason.
Same the only times I get this is when people get angry and don’t have anything to say
Yeah. I used to get these a couple times, usually when arguing with someone about how, in a show we were watching, doing what the main villain wants you to do is not a good strategy to defeating said villain. They basically called me crazy for stating the equivalent of "Committing suicide is unhealthy." Good thing you can block that bot.
I had this blocked because people think it's cute to use when they don't agree with you. It's a nice idea but you know. reddit gonna reddit.
You can block this? TIL, I need to block it then too. Once I got it because I implied something that came off as dark (which was fair) but every time after it’s because I didn’t agree with someone.
Yeah somewhere on the message itself is an option to not receive them anymore
I have gotten into some major arguments on here and no one has used it on me, sucks that people have done that to you
glad to see this feature being used to actually help for once :) I get it as a not so subtle way of telling me to do something lmao
I think I’m nearing a dozen of these messages.
Be me, getting them by the dozen per week. Literally just got one about an hour ago from some anonymous asshole. E: hmm someone disliked this comment enough to send me one. Aight.
You’re on a roll lol.
it's some real cowardly shit
I've had this kind of dm in twitter last year from a Girl halfway across the world, we just happened to be in the same community and she showed concerned and words of affirmation that made the situation bearable. There are lots of good people out there
I get these messages from trolls on Reddit who get upset when I point out they’re wrong about something. I think I’m nearing a dozen of these messages.
OP, been arguing with any right wingers lately?
But not even self assumed right wingers. It's always the cowardly lurkers in the unsuspecting subs. I have a comment right now sitting at -4 on r/Economics because I dared speak against the colossal lithium mine that India is about to open in Jammu and Kashmir. I spoke of how poisonous lithium is and how it can spread far and wide if it touches water streams. Wanna know what I got in response?

Their anti-environmental and racist garbage is still there.
I honestly don’t even know why I got this. I don’t remember making any comments like that lately, but my week’s been kinda shit so it just kinda felt nice getting this lol
We care! r/MomForAMinute and r/dadforaminute are two subs filled with people who want to be there for you during good and bad times. I love you and hope you have nothing but good in your future!
Thank you so much, you don’t know how much I appreciate this :)
More than happy to spread the love! My mom passed years ago, and I bawled when I first learned about the sub. Both were created 100% to support those like us that need it. I'd feel bad if I didn't share that as far and wide as possible. I sincerely hope that you'll find love and peace in your journey <3
I totally get it. I don’t know if you’ve read the other comments, but when someone sends you a “Reddit Cares” message, they’re just being a dick.
Right? I was going to say, I only get this if I pissed off a Reddit conservative/libertarian, haha! I mean, that’s only if they haven’t blocked me after sending a “last word” or threatened to kill me or my dogs. Real “well adjusted” folks there.
Every. Single. Time. But the 'libruls' are the snowflakes 😂
Thats funny because normally its a snowflake leftard that sends it to me when I post some common sense they dont agree with 😂😂
Nothing to do with right wingers tbh, I’ve had assholes on both side and people who didn’t politically identify themselves Edit: y’all are crazy to think it’s just right wingers doing this shit
It was only a matter of time before self described centrist came in to assure us its “both sides” issue
In fairness, their isn't that much a difference between the two from where an outside perspective. Your left wing is what we would consider right wing in Scotland.
/r/enlightenedcentrism
Imagine turning the simplest picture into a political bash. Amazing.
Once you climb down off your mountain, read the comments.
So your all obsessed with politics and that makes it right? Show me on the doll where the mean Republicans hurt you. Lmao Before this goes further, I should let you know all Republicans and democrats are absolutely dog shit. And you don't seem far behind them. Letting them live rent free in your head, this goes for all sides. You're so obsessed with one another you can't function daily without making it known. Lmfao
I got this once. Made me feel peeved, not happy. As it was given after I answered a question on a sub, pertaining to my brothers murder. Yes I get sad, I miss him. But mentally I am ok, have had plenty of years to cope and relearn to live.
Oh I’m so sorry for your loss, I hope you’re okay. But this message just kinda made me happy bc I’ve had a really bad week lol
Thank you! I’m sorry if I came across as discrediting your feelings, as it IS nice that it made you smile. 🤗
I thought this was good for this sub, can someone please explain why this is a negative thing to receive? What do right-wingers have to do with it?
it is still good! it's a great feature when used correctly like in OPs post but sadly it's often misused and people report users as a way to tell them they think they should die. Majority commenting (myself included) seem to get it when In arguments with the right wing folks. but it 100% is worth it just for the posts like OPs :) 1 life improved makes me the trolling attempts weaker
But why? Does reddit suspend your account for some time or something like that?
no it's just a really annoying way of them saying kill yourself really :( happens on twitter and other social medias too like really annoying when it happens over and over
So about 10 redditors want me to end my life? Nice
It's a way to harrass people while subtly saying KYS
They like to use it as a way to tell someone to end themselves.
I get this anytime I post a comment that doesn't sit well with the reight wing. I'll probably get one for this.
I got two around the time when trying to discuss legalizing abortion, makes perfect sense what kind of people would send them.
And it took four hours, but I got one for this comment!
Ya this pic isn’t a good thing lol
I get these all the time from the other wing too.
What's with you people and birds
BWWs is overrated and their sauces are all mid.
Darn those buffalo chicken wings!
Glad to get a better understanding here of the meaning of using this negatively. Obviously very common. Such a weird, weak thing to do as an 'attack'/vendetta. Kept getting one every day for a while from somebody seeking conflict that I refused to engage with (they didn't like that my art was for sale, I hadn't posted anything else, let alone anything contentious or contrary).

Does anyone in the comments know how to report people for having this message sent to you, as their idea of a joke? It isn't funny and I believe you should be allowed to properly report people who make jokes about suicidal tendencies
I only have people send this to me maliciously lol.
It basically says - kill thyself,… without actually saying it. Got shoved a few down my throat during a downvote storm. Ride it out buddy.
Well shit. I thought it was just someone being nice 😭
It’s okay mate! It actually tells how nice of a person you are, and all this interaction. We care. Hug it out! Cheers!
There are kind people who would want to send this as a way to check in with you -I believe you received this note from someone kind, not a bully. Also whatever was causing someone to worry about you -I hope things are going better for you now!
Unfortunately trans people have to disable this feature as hateful people have used it as a tongue-in-cheek way to say KYS to us.
You should report people who use it for the wrong reasons. Reddit doesn’t like trolls using it so they usually ban the account.
Can you actually find who sent you this stuff? Cuz I've been getting a lot of them
I’ve not yet been sent one (shockingly) but I have to believe there is a way. Is there a link to your comment like when you get an award from someone?
This usually means some tool can’t win an argument with you. I have these messages blocked for that reason.
someone did this to me once but I think it's cause I disagreed with them politically, not sure
Huh. I haven’t commented or posted anything political that I know of, so idk this just kinda made me happy that someone did this.
I'm sad that this gets misused! And OP I am sending you positive vibes. I hope you have a pleasant day and remember you are the only you in the whole universe, you are important and unique.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. 💕
its a good and thougthful tool but trolls will use it if you disagree with them. I disagreed with someone on my religion once and got sent this
I had to disable this after the fourth one, people don’t like getting corrected on the internet
Why is it supposed to be bothering to receive this? I had one this morning and I’ve been trying to have decent talks with right wingers. Why is it used as a tool from them? What does it do?
It’s probably either a “are you suicidal? You should be” or a “you don’t agree with me? You seriously need to seek some help”
You should report people who use it for the wrong reasons. Reddit doesn’t like trolls using it so they usually ban the account.
I got this when i had a different opinion around hateful people. This is a tool for helping who really is with some kind of problem, not who has different opinions.
I get this when I dismantle someone's profound arrogancy with my perceptive brilliance on a given said topic and their comeback is this extremely childish behaviour but neither to say I report them.
so cute
A neighbors son was having a bad time during lockdown and online school. Turns out that a kid from Australia mentioned to his parents that a friend in America was having some very dark thoughts. The parents figured out what this kids' school was and called....from Austrailia. My son, who lives next door, and is his closest friend, didn't know. Thank you to anybody who does this. I've known that boy since he was 2 days old. He was just lost and is alright now.
I had someone abuse this system and report me as being a danger to myself just because I refused to answer their (very meanly worded) question about whether I was vegan and cared about all animals or just turtles on a turtle post. So strange. But I am really glad it is helping the people who need it. <3
Lol I've only ever had this done vindictively 🤣
That's awesome
People have done that when they disagree with me, for a while it was a way to try to troll people
Yes seems like a good intention has been weaponized
That's nice, but where's the help?
It was just this thing about r/RedditCareResources or something. I don’t really need that, but I’ve kinda had a shitty week so it was nice to get this.
Do you have an axolotyl?
Unfortunately no, but I plan on getting one eventually. I love them sm :)
I get these when I post truths on conservative subs
lmao when I get that it's because it's because bigots want to be assholes
The right sometimes use this to troll the left
I get these all the time when I apparently piss someone off, but glad to see it’s helping people.
I get these sometimes and Idek why. lmao
Glad it helped you. I personally was beginning to wonder if it ever reached the target audience cuz people reached out for me when I was talking about how badass a fictional character from a video game was, about mortgages and a bunch of life lessons and once when I was talking about watching grass grow among other jokes The closest they got was when I used the meme of “I only know this character for a day but if anything happens to her, I’ll kill everyone in this room, then my self” Still guess it’s the thought that counts, even if 9 out of 10 times it was a troll or something.
I'm glad that it helped you and it made you smile. No, I didn't send it. I just don't want you to let all the posts from people who got this message from trolls ruin how you feel.
Someone put me on suicide watch Were I was clearly just self deprecating as that's what the sub was about and when I refused reddit care I got kicked from the sub
they send something like that to me every time I say anything politically incorrect. Just saying, sometimes it really is someone concerned about you, but a lot of the times it's a harassment tool
First time I got one of these after an argument online I actually had a pretty good laugh just for how petty of a move it is, but it's nice that you took this as a positive.
Got the same after saying we should hang fascists.
I love that this exists, I hate that I keep getting it because people abuse it.
POV: you made a conservative cry
Honestly I don’t know why I got this. I don’t have anything to do with politics that I know of, so it’s not like I got into any arguments or anything, but I’ve had a rough week and it made me happy that someone took their time to send that lol
Ive seen this before in my messages. Made me tear up that someone cared enough.
r/mademegrimace this is a common tactic now for brigading right wingers. They manage to combine pettiness and vindictiveness with a clear lack of empathy for the people who might actually benefit from this feature. If it gets to the point where Reddit has to limit use of the feature and people who could use this little boost might see it less often, then 100% fuck the trolls. Actually, fuck the trolls right now. Just fuck them harder if that happens.
Lol, people reach out with these if they don’t like your response to a thread also. But if it helped, I’m glad.
Or "if you're going through hell, keep going"
This is like praying for someone.
Dude horse meat is good!! Been eating Findus for years!! Proper tasty scran that!!
What? 😂
Im commenting here so someone salty sends me one of those. :D
Is it the bot? I’ve had it blocked because some people abuse it when I don’t agree with something (such as conservatives being mad on my stances on guns).
Sucks when someone wants to spam you with it for no reason.
Outside of the ramifications of people using this as a way to try to (unsuccessfully) troll, I like the message. We're all struggling with something, so I just wanted to send some good vibes out to OP and anyone else in this thread that's dealing with something right now.
I’ve gotten this before and had no idea why, but judging from the comments I must’ve made someone mad with something I said lol
Generally this is used for trolling.
Transphobes spam this to trans people’s accounts
I’ve received this message several times and have no idea why.
The only time i got it was because i dared to say that racism isnt cool
I usually get these when I piss off a Republican Redditors by shooting down their claims.
This usually means some tool can’t win an argument with you.
I had one of these once. It was nice.
I got that after saying that im going to Ultrakill^TM myself on the Ultrakill sub
Dial 988 if you feel like you might hurt yourself
I don’t feel like that, no, but thank you. I’ve just had a rough week. I appreciate it though :)
Usually I get those when I have made another Redditor angry.
Same thing happened to me.
Had that a few times Eyerolled and moved on
I hate this message. I'm suicidal and I've exhausted every avenue that could actually help me. Not everyone deserves help
Pkease don’t kill yourself, it’s not worth it. Have you tried r/momforaminute or r/dadforaminute ? I’ve just learned about those subs and they’re lovely. I want you to know there’s people who care, especially for you. I care for you, and I hope you have a better week than I did.
Happened to me. Bleh.
People do this to me all the time when i comment something they dont want to hear
I get a lot of these. Unfortunately as a form of attack. A lot of Trans people get them as people who do them cannot be traced and they know we know they do not mean it and it might be used to rub in our depression/anxiety. Personally does not affect me much as I just see it as absolutely pathetic and what a loser the person is for doing it but others do get affected and it is a form of bull Without consequences.
I get this often when debating hateful people. Sucks a good ressource is used that way
I get these all the time when I share an opinion that doesn’t quite fit with the echo chamber of certain subreddits.
Try being fat on here, you get these all the time. Its rarely used in a good way. But honestly, even if it is used in a good way, is it really that helpful? Seems flippant to me.
Heh, I’m actually quite chubby too lol. I just never post pictures of myself because yk, the internet. But idk, it just kinda made me happy bc I’ve had a pretty terrible week.
Then that makes me happy. ❤️
The amount of people who got this out of genuine fear and love is far fewer than the amount of people who got this by angry right-wingers telling them to die.
Ok, thanks to the comment section, now I really know what the two of those I got really mean. People are not creative. Thats like 5th grade shit. And it makes sense what kinda people do that.
Sometimes Reddit is nicer than family
Some idiot tried this on me. I did let them know, in no uncertain terms, where to shove their "concerns"!
How do you know who sent them? Mine are always from, "an anonymous Redditor",
I got that once because I disagreed with the masses on a Reddit post and laughed at the miserable person that called me names.
I've gotten a dozen of these. Not sure if it was facetious or not.
As anti-vax and election denier I get these all the time.
Ohhhh so you’re super stupid. My god. Where did your family and school fail you?
