Something Is Happening To Our Community
Hey everyone, we wanted to talk openly for a moment.Over the last 8 years, Psych2Go has tried to build more than just a YouTube channel. We wanted this to feel like a safe corner of the internet. A place where people could admit they were struggling, cry if they needed to, ask questions they were too scared to ask elsewhere, or simply feel understood for a few minutes.
But lately… some of our community members have been getting harassed for being vulnerable in the comments. We’ve seen people mocked for opening up about depression, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, burnout, emotional abuse, and mental health struggles that genuinely take courage to talk about publicly.
And honestly, it hurts to watch.
At the same time, we also understand this is the internet. Every online community eventually attracts people who want to provoke, troll, sabotage, spread negativity, or build attention around tearing others down. We don’t necessarily blame YouTube or social media platforms entirely either — there are millions of interactions happening every day, and moderation can only go so far.
What’s been especially difficult is seeing entire commentary communities and videos built around Psych2Go controversies, Psych2Go criticism, Psych2Go drama, or narratives designed to paint misleading pictures of who we are and what this channel has always tried to stand for.
Ever since videos started being made about us — often designed to piggyback off the Psych2Go audience, Psych2Go community, and mental health discussions online — we’ve noticed more people entering our spaces specifically to disrupt conversations, harass vulnerable viewers, and damage something our volunteers, moderators, artists, writers, and community members spent years building together.
Our Discord servers were never meant to become “power structures” or drama hubs. They were run by volunteers who genuinely believed in helping others and wanted to create an extension of Psych2Go where people could feel heard, accepted, and emotionally safe.
Now we’re facing a real dilemma.
As a mental health channel, do we aggressively block and remove people, knowing some may be hurting themselves? Or do we keep spaces more open, even when that openness sometimes leads to our own community members being attacked?
We don’t want Psych2Go to become bitter, hostile, or emotionally unsafe. But we also don’t want kindness to become something people are punished for here.
So we wanted to ask you directly:
What do you think is the best course of action for protecting a mental health community online while still staying true to compassion, openness, and understanding?
And to those of you who continue showing kindness to strangers in the comments, checking on each other, defending vulnerable people, and helping this place stay human… thank you. Seriously.
You are a huge part of why Psych2Go still exists today.
