Joe Blog Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 The mental health and anyone want a chat thread got me thinking about setting up a Whatsapp group for anyone interested. Doesn't have to specifically be used only for discussing difficulties but more a place for general chit chat and also as a support network. I think this place is amazing and we have some really good people on here. My wife is part of a large whatsapp group and it has really become a place of support and friendship. Anyone interested just let me know. Love to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Blog Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Because you can often have a more free flowing conversation using instant messaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmoney Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I applaud the idea, but I would caution that there are people on this board who have used people's personal information to threaten them and get them fired from jobs. I'm not saying that anything like that would definitely happen, but I'd be cautious to give your mobile number to a group with potential wronguns in it.

gmoney Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Perhaps a discord channel might be a bit more secure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely all of those people have been expelled from here though, no? Although I get your point and it is valid obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Blog Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Good points. There are a few of us in the group. I would hope everyone will use it for it's intended purpose. Hopefully reading your post will ensure everyone is aware if what they share and only do so with what they feel comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the whole history as much as other people, but I thought we'd done well to expel all the shits, and make this a fairly 'safe space' but I'll take your word for it that there are still people on this forum that have done/would do such a thing.

There are. Some respected ones too. This is a nice idea but I’m not keen on having wronguns potentially having my phone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
