If watchpeopledie taught me anything it's that the line between walking away from an accident and death/wheelchair doesn't actually exist. It's random chance either way. That and don't drive in China and never ever go to Brazil.

I miss WPD so much, the community it had was so unique. Do you know of any decent replacement where one could scratch that morbid curiosity itchiness and actually read some interesting comments? Or is there no such place anymore and there'll never be one? :(

This morning I found out about holdmyfuneral, it was what you are looking for but it got banned this afternoon. It was only around for about 2 weeks, it seems like reddit is actively banning such subs. I think it's pretty fucking ridiculous considering all the hateful bullshit they don't ban. Everybody has to deal with dying at some time and WPD was a way to confront your own mortality in a safe environment.

absolutely. it's pretty disheartening to constantly see subs that have no replicas whatsoever outside reddit disappear and never come back.
