You’re gunna do whatever you are gunna do. But let me just say this.
Your heart is in the right place, but this is a bad idea. You’d essentially be taking responsibility for mentally unwell people who are in a devastating position.
You’d open the door for emotionally starved people to latch onto you, and possibly threaten you for not answering them when they snap their fingers. Or feel suicidal at whatever time of day that is and in whatever time zone that is.

I’m wishing you the best just proceed with caution I just… oh man…
100% agree. That’s the reason why I wouldn’t want to mod it: When I have to step away from it for my own well being, it has the potential to seriously affect someone elses. I don’t want to put myself 8n that situation.
Yes I am at a hospital that I am sitting on my ass for the past two months. So that is why I am very active. If I created a commnity and you had somewhat backround and really want to hel[ peo[le
If you’re in the hospital due to follow-ons to mental health issues, it might be better to get involved with an unrelated topic instead of one that keeps you mired in those same issues.
That said, there is no technical knowledge required to moderate a community. There are just some extra links you can click to delete messages, pin them, etc. The main difficulties are dealing with humans, and in your proposed community, possibly mentally disturbed humans with high potential for putting themselves and maybe others in danger. I would start in a less challenging area.
What kind of community?
One to help people who are thinking about commiting suicide.

Can I ask you to be a mod?
No clue I just messaged one and no answer yet to bad we cannot just message all mods.
…did you just ask yourself a question, get confused, and then reply to yourself???
Should I give you MY username???
I don’t think I have the time or experience to effectively mod something like that. Good luck though it sounds like a noble cause!
Wait…this is a bit vague. Help them get through their feelings? Or help them commit suicide? This could be taken either way.
