Discussion of winning can be a trigger and users should exercise caution when posting. Trigger warning in the title MUST be added. Example: [Warning: Winnings discussed] 5. Similarly, discussion of monetary figures may also be a trigger. Exercise caution and avoid mentioning the monetary figure unless necessary for context.

I set up this community as a problem gambler. I am not affiliated with the subreddit of the same name or other support community.
I expect that more users may join this platform due to the API issues like myself. I expect also that there would be gambling bots or contents which may create triggers. I hope to create a safe space where we can support each other.
I will try to discuss with the subreddit and other communities to see if we can share the resources. If you're a moderator of these communities and would like to mod this community as well, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.
One day at a time.
Long time Reddit lurker, first time poster.
I am a pretty basic redditor. never even heard of the 3rd party apps until the whole API thing happened. but i followed the news and was seriously triggered by how the admins acted towards the users and the mods who worked voluntarily for reddit. i feel like i cannot in good faith stay with such a corporation, and i wholeheartedly support the communities migrating here.
where i'm from there was also a similar incidence, where one of the largest forum experienced a massive exodus because of 3rd party app issues. it turned out to be a huge success for the new forum. so it can be done - but it does require solidarity and perhaps more importantly functionality.
so, hang in there ;)
edit: i meant basic not based LOL. sorry :(
