Venting board?

Vent boards can be tricky. On the one hand, it gives users an outlet to get thoughts out of their head, on the other hand, it can become a place where people share a lot of really upsetting things, making it difficult for staff to manage, especially if there winds up being any amount of “sad circlejerking” which might be kind of a crass way to say it, but esp with younger users, it can be tricky to not encourage people to just pile on their own misery and have that get out of hand

Anyway, that’s my observation with vent boards on other sites I’m on (and discord servers), and I wanted to mention it cuz I personally know how tricky it can be to moderate vent boards.
