  Tbh though closing spaces at night can reduce the chances of people being safe

  ppl who are in ‘crisis’ will be waiting long hours to try getting to talk to someone from shout. bc they take bloody long to respond to ppl.

  ppl might come here in ‘crisis’ but they might feel better after posting abt what they’re feeling so taking away the community at ‘night’ is just absolutely ridiculous.

  ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

  @Redemption is spot on. I fail to see how on earth it's considered safer to switch off access at night so people can't even vent or talk, which will only just increase loneliness and isolation for a lot of members at night. Often talking is what stops people getting into that state in the first place.

  I feel like whats always been liked about the boards is the fact that they were available when most text based services aren't and the fact that thats changing is threatening in a way. Like personally the only other place I may reach out to is samaritans webchat but even that is only available very limited hours which is within the bracket of the new "opening and closing times". Often its reassuring knowing theres somewhere i can reach out to at night instead of containing it and potentially having a crisis and im sure its the same as others here too
