Is philosophy compromised when communities exclude topics about despair as ”off-topic”?

I noticed someone write a suicide note in this community, which was quickly removed by moderators. I understand this aligns with the rule that therapy, psychology, and self-help posts are off-topic. As someone who admires philosophy and its tradition of confronting life’s hardest questions, I found this unsettling.

Great philosophers such as Aristotle, Kant, and Camus have addressed themes of community, duty, and despair. Camus even described suicide as the central philosophical problem. From a philosophical standpoint, is it ethically sufficient for moderators to enforce strict topical boundaries, or should virtue (or duty, or compassion) require at least some minimal acknowledgment, such as providing links to support resources?

More broadly, where do we actually draw the line between “therapy” and “philosophy”? Philosophy is not clean, it often overlaps with psychology, ethics, and lived experience. If communities exclude every question that touches human vulnerability, do they risk cutting philosophy off from its own roots?
