Please STOP using the DM feature to solicit inappropriate interactions
I’m more than just “annoyed”, I’m so irritated. The Mighty is not a dating app. It is a place where individuals come to seek support. I dread/avoid looking at my DMs which is not fair to me. I’ve disabled the feature before but I shouldn’t have to, just to avoid messages from people using this app for the wrong reasons. By disabling the DM features, I am missing out on many of the wonderful people on here and potentially supporting one another. I’m angry that I felt I had to change my profile picture to myself and my husband (which didn’t help anyway). I have zero obligation to acknowledge or reply to a message that makes me uncomfortable and “no” ALWAYS means “no”, with no explanation needed. I don’t even feel bad about blocking people anymore because it’s becoming such a normal thing. This goes for males, females, or however one identifies because it isn’t fair or accurate to generalize one gender as the problem. It’s pretty sad that I feel I have to post about this and it’s unfortunate that I’ve read posts from other users expressing the same feeling. If people continue to abuse the DM feature, The Mighty can potentially remove it and then we’ll all be more isolated and lonely. #Anxiety #BipolarDisorder #PTSD #ADHD #EatingDisorders #InflammatoryBowelDiseaseIBD #ChronicPain #SinusTachycardia #Hypertension #GastroesophagealRefluxDisease #Migraine #autoimmune #rashes #Allergies #CoughHeadache #Fatigue
