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.
It's a vicious cycle too, because the less I talk to people the less I feel comfortable talking to them, and the more quiet and awkward I become. Someone just be my friend pls I'm not that bad lol
Who knows what people say about me behind my back. Most of the time it's people who are nice to me and then say some shit behind my back. It's very discouraging for me. I consider myself someone who's always welcoming and I accept everyone for who they are. They probably take that as stupidity and talk about that among themselves. Just general gossip I'd assume.

I don't understand people. How can they be nice to me and then go and insult me behind my back? Why talk to me at all if they think so negatively of me? Crazy tbh

Good point. It's not supposed to matter what others think but for the vast majority, it does factor in to a certain extent. Women are essentially judged by their youth and beauty, and men tend to be judged based on the amount of resources they commandeer (e.g.: money or hard assets, politcal resources). Indeed these are idiotic parameters, but we all know this still how people act.
probably that i'm really skinny and weird. a lot of people don't know much about me. i'm really closed off and private. i guess people closest would say other things, but i'm not sure if they'd be good things or not.
This seems more like a reflection upon myself vs what people actually say about me. I feel like I'm praised and admired at times when I definitely shouldn't be.
I have a low self esteem and judge myself harshly. Maybe I'm too hard on myself, maybe I'm not hard enough on myself. I've stopped caring what people think of me long ago.
I think people say that I'm a nice person, which cuts into me like a knife. I'm so inert and forgettable that 'nice' is the only thing that comes to mind.
I'm like plain vanilla ice cream. People like me, but noone ever gets excited about me. I'm never anybody's first choice.
I think people who've only talked to me a couple of times would say that I'm very nice and shy. Irl I'm a very passive, "sweet" person. I try to do the most for others and be patient and considerate, but it's clear I have social problems.
But anyone who deals with me regularly, they say I'm quiet, strange, awkward, cold, things like that. Generally they're more aware of how inhibiting my anxiety is, and think that my shyness/anxiety causes problems. Some of my coworkers will joke that I only ask for help from certain people because I'm terrified of the others (which is sometimes true but not the whole story).
Similarly people I don't well seem to think I'm pretty smart. But once they get to know me it's clear that I'm very average. As for first impressions, I've had complete strangers call me fat and/or ugly so I guess there's that too.

I'm practically a living ghost, so it's extremely unlikely that anyone would ever think about me -- but if someone actually did, they'd probably just say I'm weird or something.
