Harm Reduction Through Education!
I want to talk to a tripsitter.ABOUT US
In an era where assistance often doesn't measure up, TripSit emerges as the beacon of hope. We're driving forward with a mission to dismantle misconceptions about drug use and arm individuals with the tools they need for safer experiences.
Our foundational principles are clear-cut:
- - Accept that people will use substancs, regardless of legality or social stigma.
- - Know it is possible to use substances while reducing harmful practices.
- - Conviction that informed education is the correrstone for harm mitigaiton.
At TripSit, our emphasis lies in fostering open conversations and enacting harm reduction methodologies. Beyond championing essentials like test kits, we provide a roadmap for more prudent drug interactions. We've cultivated a platform that promotes discourse from scientific, medical, and philosophical angles on drugs, offering counsel rooted in our shared journeys.

Subreddit SubscribersCombo Chart
Our Combo Chart is a cornerstone of the HR scene!
We give permissions to print and distribute our chart for non-profit usage. Full details of usage rights are in our FAQ below, but it boils down to:
- - Do not make a profit off our work. We don't do this for profit and neither should you.
- - Keep our logo on the chart. We don't ask for money, but we deserve the recognition.
- - Do not change the data. We worked hard on this and can't verify adjustments.
Otherwise, we give permission to print out and distribute this chart to whoever wants to. Make your own posters, print it on a t-shirt, or even make a giant banner and display it as a festival! We just want the information out there where it can help people.

These projects have been converted to docker containers, but more work is needed to add some standard functionality to each container to make each project more uniform. Tasks include:
- - Add Sonar linting.
- - Add Sentry error monitoring.
- - Add Google Analytics.
- - Add Donation buttons (Patreon/Kofi).
- - Add Github actions (CodeQL).
- - Add CI (Drone).

- - Integrate new website.

What happened to the IRC?
Over a decade, we faced numerous challenges with IRC that remained unresolved. Given our resource constraints, ensuring a high-quality chat experience on IRC became untenable.
Turning to Discord, we found the security and user-friendly features that we had longed for with IRC. Furthermore, our Discord bot has already made significant positive impacts in the harm reduction communities of Bluelight and r/Drugs.
While the IRC remains accessible, its use is limited to those with pre-existing accounts. We may consider new account creation on a selective basis, but we currently have no intentions of reopening the IRC to the general public. Importantly, the IRC is fully integrated with Discord, ensuring that no conversation is missed. Additionally, we're in the process of setting up a Matrix server, which aims to address any privacy concerns associated with Discord and our reservations about relying on older software platforms.
Can I interview TripSit?
TripSit operates as a volunteer-driven organization, and many of our members are engaged in full-time commitments. While our availability for formal interviews might be limited, we're always open to addressing questions and engaging in discussions. The most effective way to reach out to our team is via our Discord.
I sent an email and you didn't respond, what gives?
We apologize for the oversight. As a tight-knit volunteer team, we occasionally struggle to keep up with the influx of emails. We're striving to improve our response time. For a quicker response or more direct engagement, reaching out to us on Discord is highly recommended.
