Good sites to vent on?

I'm a pretty chronic online yapper and I post a lot about my mental health specifically. Near enough every post I make here either gets taken down for violating the rules (usually the sensitive topic thing) or just being repetitive lol. And I get that this is technically a children's site so has to be moderated as a children's site even though it has topics catering to uni students (which I am) and mental health. I've tried taking my yapping to reddit and several anonymous vent apps but I've been driven away by the high percentage of creepy men that reply. Any suggestions for where to take my yapping to that allow more in depth posts about mental health but are strictly moderated enough to have low creep presence lol?
Hi,

You could try platforms like 7 Cups (a supportive community for mental health) or Vent (designed for anonymous sharing). Both are moderated to maintain a safe environment. Alternatively, look for private forums or groups on platforms like Discord, where you can find mental health-focused communities with active moderation. Stay safe and keep sharing!

go on the mix and vent there. you have to be careful not to be too triggering though or else your post will get taken down. just add trigger warnings or something. you can also go on kooth but the same thing applies.
Have you considered keeping a diary?

writing a diary is a chore that I have to deliberately carve time out of my routine for, writing a vent post can be done anywhere just when I feel like it

Doesn't have to be a written diary, can be on your computer/phone
