We also tried Lemmy but it was a bit of a nuisance to maintain.
In the end we settled on a forum with a wiki.
We tried a few forums but in the end Flarum was the nicest, Just a bit of a pain to set the domain to be dynamic but it can be done with some PHP, alternatively, just use a reverse proxy with dnsmasq and wireguard pointing to that DNS.
As for a Wiki We have tried mediawiki, WikiJS And a couple others. I would recommend dokuwiki. (I hear good things about bookstack too).
They are not taken seriously by law enforcement. They are advertised to be taken seriously.
It's awful but that's the way it is. If your experience working with a victim in your jurisdiction has been a positive one I'm really glad to hear that and I would love to know what things made it work so we'll.
In my experience supporting a victim, there's no ramifications for the perpetrator, no appetite for investigation and no support for the victim outside the private system (the support hotlines are particularly useless).
Police simply are not there to protect and support victims of personal violence offences.
You can call bullshit all you want, but this is my lived experience in a western country and I have nothing to gain by being deceptive 🤷.
I love this discussion because it's a complex issue.
I suppose I stand on the side that maybe she should have just delivered them. It's just words and individuals can throw garbage in the bin pretty easily. I sure as shit wouldn't want anybody filtering my mail.
OTOH, "got a job to do" is a weak justification for unethical behaviour.
Put me down 3:2 in favour of delivering the things I guess.
I would like to think that these hotlines are helpful.
I have experience with somebody calling a sexual abuse hotline and being told to " Work less and go outside tomorrow".
This was a crisis situation and the advice was woefully inadequate and unhelpful.
Overall, I'm sure access to a hotline that is monitored with people who are experts at dealing with these situations is a good thing. I doubt they're funded very well though.
We tried it and didn't like the clunky UI.
