Show HN: I made online community for unusual people

One thing: If you say community for unusual people and then at the bottom have this:

"We want to help people with mental illness and social phobia to become more secure and connected, live a happier life."

I personally wouldn't sign up. Being weird isn't necessarily implying mental illness and social phobia. And the fact that you seem to use it as a euphemism doesn't sit well with me.

If I was looking for a site for people with mental health issues, I'd look for it directly and wouldn't mind if the site I was on used plain, clear language. Yes, some people will be offended. No, you can't please everyone.

Just my 2c for the creator of the site.

Thanks, 4ntonius8lock for your time! I thought so from the start about being clear of whom this site for but then decided to present it in a more funy way. I think I need reconsider many things here.

Your doing great. You are getting a project off the ground. That's what matters. Positive movement forward.

Congrats on being so proactive. :)
