I have a question: how come posts in this forum end up on the Greatest Page? [View all]

This forum is a safe space. The Greatest Page is not. I was kind of upset when a post of mine in here ended up in the GP. Everyone who responded was kind, but there’s a reason I posted here instead of in the Lounge (for example). I know mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of AND some people may weaponize the knowledge to the detriment of the poster. Anyway, mental illness - and all medical stuff - is personal and posters may not want their struggles bandied about to a wider audience. Since my post went up in the GP, I’ve been hesitant to post my struggles here. What do you all think?
