Some of you guys know this already but r/collapse is recommended to all new users when they join.
r/collapse and r/collapsesupport are full of depressed and otherwise mentally ill people who have convinced themselves that the world is ending to rationalize the way they feel. One of my friends IRL is like this and it's truly sad. I don't know why the frick reddit recommends these subs and I really think it does actual harm to people.
I've been in the situation where my mental problems were exacerbated by online interaction when I had body image issues and browsed /fit/, 4chan's fitness board. It's nearly impossible to get better unless you stop interacting with people who have the exact same issues and rationalizations as you.
Do you think emailing reddit chadmins would get them to stop recommending these subs? Am I a strag for caring about the wellbeing of r*dditors? Let me know what you think.

Well, to be fair, if the world continues along the existing trajectory, it will end, or at least life as we know it will cease to exist. Undoubtedly human beings will still survive and nation-states will continue to exist, it's just that life is really going to suck for them.
If r/collapse helps educate people about the tangible steps needed to solve this problem or mitigate its effects, I think it's a good thing. If it's just getting people trapped in a depression spiral when they don't do anything constructive, it's probably not too helpful.
Either way, I don't understand your desire to make them less accessible. Since when has rdrama been pro-censorship?

There's a difference between censorship and not suggesting it to thousands of new users

OK, fair point. Do you think Reddit should suggest anything? And if so, what?
Or do you think it should just have a directory guide that helps users find what they want?

Are you familiar with the concept of an info-hazard?
I think that content that can harm the reader shouldn't be promoted. simple as.

Yeah, pretty familiar. I just disagree with you on the moral duties and responsibilities related to infohazards.
