• Hey Guest,

    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.

Was originally planning to use an exposed water pipe. I've climbed it and it holds my weight (~55 kg) just fine but when I tested it with my rope, it rests on this little plastic bit that's dangerously close to breaking when I thug at it. Curtain rods doesn't work since my walls are wooden and lined with 100 y/o newspaper. Door handles are unreliable since the noose may slip off of them due to their shape. I have some hooks in my ceiling which I'm going to experiment with but those probably pose the same issue as the curtain rods. Shower curtain rod is made of flmsy plastic so that doesn't work either.

That pretty much leaves the woods and a solid tree. Which isn't very certain either because there's a risk of being found, which would make everything worse. Not to mention that I'd really prefer to go in my home, where it's warm, familiar and safe. Fuck this, absolutely fuck that it's so hard to ctb. It's inhumane.

Do you have a closet rod?

If there really is nothing else, you can try to DIY/tape a stopper to the door knob and see if you can try to prevent the rope from slipping, if the only problem is the slipping

I do but they're also plastic and I think they wouldn't hold my weight. The stopper thing is interesting, may have to experiment with that, thank you. The main issue is that the only metal one is L-shaped, which could make the noose glide off as I'm convulsing.

There are certain ways to hang a rope over a door and close it. Just depends on the rope/nylon and thickness of the door. I wish I could find links to what I am talking about I will search for it, though.
