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 thread is for people who likes to look at sad quotes or relatable quotes. Everybody can share their own or something they found of the internet. I'll leave one to start:
"The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
- Carl Jung

"Disqualified as a human being, I had now ceased utterly to be a human being." - Dazai Osamu, No Longer Human
The meaning is solely personal, but I like to think it is about society rejecting outcasts, however there is still a part of me who relates to it due to my low self worth, also this is my favorite quote from his book, if you're feeling nihilistic I recommend you read it, it is a short and meaningful book.
Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness—for then
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee are again
In death around thee—and their will
Shall overshadow thee: be still.
Shake hands, we shall never be friends, all's over;
I only vex you the more I try.
All's wrong that ever I've done or said,
And nought to help it in this dull head:
Shake hands, here's luck, good-bye.
But if you come to a road where danger
Or guilt or anguish or shame's to share,
Be good to the lad that loves you true
And the soul that was born to die for you,
And whistle and I'll be there.
"I should have been a clown. I am always getting slapped. The slaps come from every direction, from the people I want to help, from those I want to love, for the big and little guys I am sorry for." ~ actress Carole Landis (she took her own life in 1948)
