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've been on a bender where I've drank roughly a fifth of whiskey a day for the last two weeks. Over the next four days I'm gonna try to reduce my consumption to zero, using measuring cups that I own to track it precisely. Today I'm gonna drink 400ml, tomorrow 200ml, Thursday 100ml, and Friday 50ml. I'm posting this here so I can hold myself accountable. Wish me luck, hopefully I'm tapering gradually enough that I don't get really bad withdrawal symptoms.

There are some people that can taper off on their own. For some others they find that they cannot do it alone. AA is always there if it turns out you need help. Depending on how long you have been drinking, you may also face some physiological challenges. The body can adapt to taking calories from alcohol and need help in a transition. You face a difficult path, I wish you well in your attempt and encourage you to see it through.

So far my taper attempt is going well and I'm not having any withdrawal symptoms besides some very mild hand shaking and difficulty getting to sleep. I'm gonna try AA once I'm fully tapered off - I've never tried it before so I suppose it's worth a shot.
