The former Suicide site is no more.
Volunteers riding the tube in London heard an announcement, "blogger under a train". Its all over.
Nonetheless, new volunteers have come to the rescue and forked the old sites to create a brilliant new site at https://disguised.work/debian.

Volunteers looked at recent stories about deaths and the community. Some deaths were suicides, some were confirmed accidents and other deaths had no official cause.
We thought long and hard about what all these deaths had in common and found that the name Disguised Work gets to the root cause of the problem.
Rather than focus on how they died, we want to talk about why.
In the original Debian Manifesto from 1993, the founder of Debian, Ian Murdock, himself a suicide victim, wrote:
Such distribution (Debian) is essential to the success of the Linux operating system in the commercial market, and it must be done by organizations in a position to successfully advance and advocate free software without the pressure of profits or returns.
The commercial market is not so friendly. Ubuntu, Google and Red Hat came along and now they each employee a cohort of Debian Developers. Their Developer-employees pack together like wolves and bully the rest of us. They want us to do their work for them and people are dying.
Please read the stories of Debian suicides and accidents.
