Self harm discussion is fine, but a person should check in with the room first before launching into such a topic, giving people who may be triggered to leave. Or create your own room for such discussions.

Chat isn't always about problem solving for other people's concerns. Often it's just sitting there and listening. We're not responsible for stopping others from doing something harmful to themselves... we're just here to try and support their positive choices.
