A thought — looking at your post, and the other comment here, it sounds like you are looking for a community with very low tolerance for trolls and the like. Sounds familiar... 🤔
Maybe ask the BeeHaw mods if there's room for the community that you're looking for: /c/mentalhealth.
I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be worried about the responsibility of such a place, both in terms of modding and I guess legal liability, but it can't hurt to ask, right? Try asking in /c/beehawsupport.
It's not the same (potential) can of worms, but we already have /c/neurodivergent.
BeeHaw is specifically a safe space; if what you're looking for could exist, I personally can't imagine a better home for it.

Mental health is one of the few communities that fall into a general category of 'often problematic on the internet' due to a confluence of factors noted already in this post as well as a few not mentioned - namely that people who are not educated can cause serious and real harm to others with bad or misinformed advice. In the same way that you shouldn't ask for legal advice from a random individual, asking for mental health advice online can be fraught with bad responses/answers. At this point in time we're not entertaining the idea.

Tagging @LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org for transparency
Makes total sense, and I respect you and the team's decision on the matter 😊
I hadn't really thought the 'bad advice' angle through, thank you for the clarification.
