The purpose of this stream, as I believe should be the purpose of ALL depression/mental health themed streams, is to provide a safe space for people to seek help with their issues.
If you're curious what set the stage for me jumping ship from the other depression stream, read on. (If not then don't bother, it is kind of a lot.)

This meme was featured in DepressionMuch last week. Someone submitted it, and one of the moderators of DepressionMuch approved it. I flagged it because, duh, it's a personal attack, and it stayed up. For 3 days. It wasn't until I reached out to a mostly inactive owner of that stream that it was finally unfeatured. Not deleted mind you, because that link above still shows it.
To review: moderators approved a meme containing a personal attack, and then chose to leave the meme up even after it had been flagged. On a stream supposedly intended to help people struggling with mental illness. Don't know which mod it was, but Danny is the most active and the most religiously dogmatic (as you witnessed yourself)...and the person who made that meme attacking me...here's the only previous contact I'd had with her, just so you can see what we'd each brought to the table more than a month ago.

The mods can run depressionmuch however they want, but going forward they'll all be doing it without my participation. At the very least they should disclaim up front that it's a Christian stream first and foremost, and that anyone who doesn't like it will feel the stream community's disapproval with every move they make. Sad how much worse being there has made me feel. Tough not to be bitter...but, hey, here we are. :D
