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 am not sure. I tend to think there are some objective truths. I am semi-agnostic but I won't give this option. Maybe we live in a simulation and literally everything is distorted. But I would not assume that but it cannot be ruled out. In the end I think there are some truths but I am not 100% sure if this makes sense.
It depends on your own definition. Because this is an intricate question and many people would not agree with my definition. They should define it themselves.
There is objective truth, otherwise the world would be chaos. The sky is blue, that's the truth and we know why it is blue. If there was no objective truth then the sky would be what, green?
Maybe we have a distorted notion of the process of thinking or the concept of me/I/myself. Maybe our thoughts are not actually our own thoughts and we just don't see it. Maybe everything is completely distorted.

I believe in physical reality so yes, somewhere out there are objective truths for everything that has ever happened. Whether we'll ever get to know of them all is another matter.

Okay, discard the thinking and focus just on the presence of your being. Don't worry, I don't lack imagination about thinking being possibly distorted as I've experienced a couple of psychoses.
Technically anyones opinion about anything is their personal truth. Morality, ethics are needed to have a "functioning" civilization where the majority survives into old age, but its all completely made up by humans.
For this I usually think of history facts and how we see different historical events as facts until the point we find some explicit contradiction that can't be ignored and look more into it, then historians just change history to fit that new piece of evidence. This means that a lot of historical events aren't actually explicitly true, just the most likely scenario based on what we know but we claim it as an objective truth. Adding to this, in order to add new evidence and information you might have to make a formal research and have it approved by some important people overseeing that field, if passed it gets seen as officially true, but there's plenty of academic papers that are seen as true but in later years get contradicted and the truth changes. Based on this, what we officially call an objective truth is just whatever the accepted and popular opinion is until otherwise contradicted by a more accepted and popular opinion.
