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.
To them things like SN, gas tanks, guns or ropes are like contraband tools used for prison break. When they find it they confiscate it and take measure to better guard and spot new possible break attempts. Anyone helping a prisoner escape is also charged with crime similarly to how someone assisting a suicide is prosecuted.

Yeah, forcing someone to endure suffering just because others want them to is deeply selfish. No one else has to live in your mind, feel your pain, or carry your burdens—yet so many people think they have the right to decide for others. It's like they value their own discomfort at losing someone over the actual suffering that person is going through.

100% true and well said. Most people fail to realize that a lot of prevention is not at all for the welfare of the suicidal, but for the emotions of those close to the suicidal. It's very ego-centric. Just try to open up about being suicidal and you'll hear that most of the arguments against it is something related to how it will make THEM feel. Almost nobody really cares about how WE feel.
But if they truly understood your pain and respected your autonomous choice to leave this life then they would not treat you as a toddler who puts Lego bricks in his mouth. They would put YOUR wishes above their own emotions.
