It seems like there is some interest in this:

I’ve used https://reddit.com/r/cptsd as a support group for awhile. It never felt right to post such sensitive discussions onto a platform controlled by a tech company trying to monetize its content, so I was really happy when things like Lemmy began taking off. In my opinion, support communities belong in user-owned spaces like this.

I use Beehaw as a provider, and I thought it might be a good place to host a CPTSD community because of Beehaw’s rules and ethos. I had a look at what’s existing, and this is the closest one I could find. There’s [email protected] (am I referring to that correctly?), but it’s dead.

Is anyone aware of a good CPTSD community, or would there be interest/support in creating one on Beehaw?

    Thank you for the excellent explanation! I can certainly appreciate this stance and why you and the other admins might want to be sure to do this in the right way, if ever. It’s enough for me to know it’s in the back of your minds.

    In the meantime, do you have any suggestions for a provider to host such a space?

      hmm, good question. i’ve paged other people who i think are better able to socially or technologically answer this one than i, and hopefully they’ll be able to direct you and others toward something
