An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
I'm going to ask my therapist about this once I can afford to see her again and I've been googling some techniques, but I'm wondering what do y'all do to deal with anger? I've been getting pissed for no reason lately and I haaaaaate it, it's my least favorite emotion
Going on walks, and listening to comfy things. For me, when I exhaust myself, especially after a nice walk, it helps me get my anger out of my system. Listening to music or something similar on top of that helps me switch my mindset out of it faster.
Anger is like an emotional equivalent of bleeding. A conflict between what we expect and what actually happens often is like an injury. Taking time to recover is useful as well as becoming better at not having unrealistic expectations.
Sometimes my anger, (sometimes I'd call it rage) is covering it up that I need to have a strong, long, good cry. One time with a therapist years ago, she had me beating a pillow to get some of my rage and anger out. I beat on the pillow some, then fell into a heap, curled up, sobbing my eyes out uncontrollably. Sometimes I feel that what is under the anger is still more anger though.
The main thing I do anymore is write in my journal about it. There is a lot of angry venting in my journals.
Here in my city have a business where people can go to break things, to get their stress and anger out. It appears to be quite a popular business too. You're not alone.
Usually I go do something by myself like some of my hobbies (painting figures is a good one), throw on headphones and blast some music. I've also re-started my workout program and between the weights and music that really takes my mood down a bunch of notches. Doing that regularly has helped to keep the peaks fewer. If the cause of the anger is someone then I'm usually calm enough later in the day to discuss the issue and hopefully not have it come up again.
