Anyone can be a Social Soldier! Find out more here!~ (OLD THREAD)
Welcome to the official forum thread for the Social Soldiers! Im glad youre here; youre amazing, and Im glad youre part of the community.
Introduction
The Social Soldiers project was created with the intent on eliminating the stigma that comes along with mental illness on social media, guiding those who are depressed/having a hard time/need someone to talk to right here to 7CupsOfTea. As Laura explained in her lovely thread right here, we need to be here for people who may feel as though they have no other place to turn.
What are Social Soldiers?
Social Soldiers are people that use 7Cups-designated social media to guide people in the right direction, hopefully leading them to the site where they can talk to someone who truly cares. They use the handles Twitter, Reddit and/or Tumblr, and check the tags for depression, or self harm, or anything along those lines.
Who can be a Social Soldier?
Anyone! Thats the beauty of this project; literally anyone can get involved with it.
What isnt a Social Soldier?
Sharing your own personal social media with other members/listeners.
Someone that shares their personal social media in this thread.
Just to debunk a question that may be asked, you can totally share your referral link on your personal social media handles, however we do ask that you dont share your personal social media handle here. If you have a big following on Twitter, and youd rather use your personal account to spread the word, thats totally okay, just do not share with other members/listeners your personal account. If you have any questions on this, feel free to PM me.

Everyone Can Be A Social Soldier! One Way To Do This Is To Talk To Persons About How You Feel Who Don't Judge You . I Mean Kinda Like Me 😋
Social media seems like it should be a windfall for pscyhe reasearchers. Massive amounts of all sort sof data about how people think, what they're doing at various tmes in the day, points in their lives, etc. How they deal with the issues we all face. What images they choose to share. I get the feeling we'll know we've succesfully duplicated human quality artificial intelligence when it decides by itself to create a Facebook page or starts a blog to share it's feelings.
It took billions of years to go from single celled organisms to the multicellular life that seems to dominate the biosphere today. In much less time those organisms thrived most by creating ever more sophisticated and higher fidelity models of reality (our minds--the virtual worlds we actually inhabit directly) which now seem to be engaged in yet another complete revolution in the very foundations of life itself: Engineering a single, common, all-encompassing repository for all of the infomation that life everywhere has ever discovered. Will that repository ever become a recognizable entity in it's own right? A fully sentient being capable of simultaneously listening to everyone's prayers, worrying about everyone's diet, routine, families, and pursuits? Or at least everyone who's anyone in social media.
I sure hope so. And not just because it sounds like a wonderful to make marketing even more sinister. But because I think it will teach the real god a very important lesson: if you don't show up for work will get someone else who does.
Don't worry, be happy!
Your spark will ignite a fliame and burn brighter than ever.

Wonderful quote. It suits the 7 cups community.
So many people love you, more than you know.
Dont judge the more you do the less time you have to know a person
