Back in 2022, I was obsessed with anime. I forgot who, but I definitely had an anime character as my PFP on Discord.

Anyway, someone with an anime PFP sent me a friend request with an invite to a server. “You like anime, wanna join our server?”

The server appeared to be a casual discussion server ages 13+ mainly about anime, gaming, and Western animation. It was also a place to “make online friends”.

The server used a lot of pink emojis, such as saying in their about section, “💖🌸This is a safe place, tell us anything and we won’t judge!💓💝”

The mods were also 15 (youngest) to 24 (oldest), so keep that in mind, and was mostly moderated by guys from what I remember.

In 2022, I also happened to be quite depressed (but I am much better). When one of the mods asked how I was, I told him I was a bit sad but it was fine.

However, this mod insisted it was not fine and kept spamming my DMs, begging me to tell him what was wrong.

He said he would give me advice if I told him. So all I said is, “I kinda miss my friend :/ I haven’t seen them in a while, I hope they’re ok.” (That was the truth).

He responded with “Erm, why tf would u tell me this 😑?”

Of course, I thought he was joking. This mod also flirted with me a lot, (he said he was my husband/bf) so during those exchanges, he appeared to have edited the profile pictures so that it looked like I flirted with him and that he was the one uncomfortable.

He told his server I harassed him. He also completely fabricated messages and put my profile picture on them so that it looked like I said things that I didn’t. He and the other mods all made fun of me for being mentally ill, too.

Apparently I “trauma dumped, harassed, and bullied him”. Of course, the mods believed him over me because they knew him and were his friends.

They would send voicemails of themselves laughing at my old (and new) messages, saying I was “pathetic scum”.

They then all went on a group call and told me to join. Anxious, I did. They were all laughing hysterically, saying I should do bad things to myself so they could “hear my shrieks”. I left, they banned me from their server, and I blocked every one of those assholes.

These people suck, I genuinely hope that one day, their friends are rude to them so that they know the damage they did. I know it was online, but what the hell?

And to the mods 18 and older, you all are grown adults acting like this. ADULTS. You condone children being like this (15 yr old mod) and you also think it’s okay to be an adult and act this way.
