    These days, I'm thinking it'd need to be moderated, one rabble-rouser
    could cause a lot of damage.

    These days, even someone well intentioned, but who gets all their info from internet memes, could cause a lot of damage.

    It's a great idea to have a forum for these kind of discussions, back in the '90s, my othernet had a similar forum. We had a few people on anti-depressants who could compare notes on drugs, dosages and experiences, and it made them feel less alone in their struggles. For someone without issues, it was enlightening.

    A lot of the allure of BBSing in the 80s and 90s was for groups of people to support others in their positions and to be supported.

    I think that would be a good idea.

    These days, I'm thinking it'd need to be moderated, one rabble-rouser could cause a lot of damage.

    That's true.

    Even just being able to connect with people, feel part of a community,
    be able engage with others helps a lot. The idea of a specific forum
    is a decent one, but I think just being here, as opposed to not being
    here at all, is half the solution.
