Maybe, although generally when you fill a room with sick people, they don’t make each other well. Group therapy can work, but it takes the guidance of people not currently looking up from a hole.

Being alone is not a sickness. The site, when viewed on mobile even without an app, shows the first entry as someone who climbed a mountain when alone. Another learned about the three poisons, and yet a third chose to read a series of books.
The words "loneliness and aloneness" don't mean what you think. Read the comment to which you replied and which was written by the author of the app, "and find more acceptance of ourselves and our aloneness, however happy, peaceful, or sad."
> My experience with nitpicking and semantic parsing on this site says otherwise, and you’re certainly another brick in that wall.
There was no nitpicking or cherry picking. The entirety of your comment related to how being alone is a sickness. I pointed out that being alone is not a sickness. I supported this with three healthy comments from the very first page of the site.
Instead of actually discussing, you have twice turned to personal attacks.
“Thanks for the feedback.
I created this project because I know many people who struggled with loneliness at times in their lives.
My hope is that by sharing this experience we’ll feel a sense of connection when we’re alone, and find more acceptance of ourselves and our aloneness, however happy, peaceful, or sad.”

Your selective reading is actually impressive in its way, and seems either deliberate or deluded.
Edit: Ah downvotes, the currency of the struck nerve.
