  • 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.

One thing often repeated hear is how hard life is. It's hard to maintain a living, provide for yourself, maintaint relationships, keep yourself alive and healthy, care, keep going, etc.

We focus on the negative side a lot: that sucks.

But here's the positive side: you're doing better than you're giving yourself credit for.

Are you working at all? Bravo! It's really hard in the modern world to maintain a living.

Are you not working but looking for work? Awesome! That is a brutal, heartbreaking process and you are sticking with it.

Were you looking for work or something else to do with your life and have decided to stop to focus on yourself? Good for you. It's hard to admit when you need a break. Take all the time you need.

Are you down and feel like you don't ever want to try again? Hey, it's tough. Everybody has a hard time in some way. Plus, from my observations here you probably had some extra factors making things even harder. You are here looking to console with and relate to people who are down like you are. That's good.

Do you still care? About anything? Or anyone? Hold on to it. It's worth it.

Remember that things are tough. It's worth fighting for the good things, but we don't always have the strength. Maintain a good perspective. Don't let yourself fall into the trap of thinking you are superior to other people. We're all trying.
