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.
A sturdy, quite complex knot for FSH hasn't been constricting for me, so I'm looking into new knots. What I'm worried about is the simplicity of the noose knot, it's basically just an overhand knot with the long end of the rope passed through. Overhand knots aren't super secure so I'm afraid of it coming undone. Does anyone have experience with these types of knots?
The hangman's noose is quite different from the overhand knot. The overhand knot is a basic know that's not really used for hanging to my knowledge. The hangman's noose is a more reliable option, as the knot gets sturdier the more times the rope is wrapped around upper loop. There is a simple guide on 101knots.

This is a common misconception so I'm glad you brought it up. The noose knot and the hangman's noose are indeed different knots, but the hangman's noose is typically not what you want for FSH. The hangman's noose doesn't constrict and was meant to break the neck with long drop hanging. Most people go for asphyxiation hanging and the hangman's noose is not suitable for this. Instead you need a constricting knot which is where various slipknots come into play, including the noose knot.
