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.
In May I realized the big joke this human existence is, and how it would be easier to me If I didn't wake up in the morning and be forced to do things I didn't consent to do before being born but I have to do them anyway and pay the consequences as well.
It only took a few months of depression before I started thinking about suicide constantly. For the first year/year-and-a-half, I thought things might get better, so I worked on myself and improving my situation for a while. I have tried and tried and I am still in the same position that made me fall into depression years ago, and I'm so tired of it. So tired of the years of constant disappointments and rejections, each one chipping away at my hope and will to live.
9 months ago I pussied out of a deadline to CTB I had set, but I so desperately needed relief that I started confiding to the people in my life. At first it helped, not having to keep it all inside. But while my feelings got better, my problems and situation did not, and thus after the initial relief the intense depression and suicidal thoughts came back promptly. Eventually I think my friends started getting more and more exhausted from having to try and support me that they started to resent me. It was a slow, gradual process, so I didn't notice it was happening, but now I look at the relationships I have with my friends now compared to before I confided in them, and I can see how distant almost everyone has become. I don't blame them, I am a burden, and no one wants to be around a downer. I'm trying to go back to hiding my feelings and acting like I'm getting better and pretending to be happy and positive, but the damage has been done. I think everyone started to see how pathetic I actually was when I wasn't hiding who I am. I feel lonelier and more isolated now than I ever have before, and I'm so so close to the edge now. Before I always had the thought of "I don't think I'll actually go through with it" in the back of my head, and now that is gone. I feel completely ready to die, and my time will come soon.
