• 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.

This is going by what I think. If someone wants to die, then most likely they don't care about what happens to them since their are no worldly consequences (they'll cease to exist but I know that's controversial with the afterlife).

I just find it unfathomable how telling someone suicide is the "coward's way out" is supposed to scare them into living. Or how it's "incredibly selfish". Why would someone who wants to die and leave this world care?

Trying to understand the psychology of it from anti-suicide people as well as the psychology of a suicidal person.

I get it. No matter what you tell a person (at least in my case) is likely to talk them out of it or change their view. Especially not by insulting them or making them feel bad, if anything it would make them more likely an the situation worse.

It takes a huge effort to do it, you're killing yourself ffs. Gone, that's it, done.
Selfish? Maybe, I can see arguments for that, but cowardly? No. Brave? yep.

Most people are arrogant and respond to challenges such as this in a desperate attempt to prove that they are not inferior. It has no effect on people who no longer care about the long-running dick-measuring contest known as "life."

I agree with CRM, and also think it's a naïve thing to say. However, in considering this question, I realised it is actually very effective in instilling shame in a lot of people who do still care, eg who might ideate but not plan.

Not that I think it's a healthy thought.
