Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

What are the things you wish people wouldn't say to you when they find out? What makes you feel worse about it? I have wanted to CTB myself for many years but I also want to know how to better support a friend right now.
Show genuine interest in helping him, don't just tell him to go to therapy or say a few words and leave it at that. Have a real conversation with him, ask him questions, say positive things to him. Express love, try to help.

Talking. Saying generic stuff such as « but why? You're so pretty, you're so kind, you're so blabla.. it will pass » just make me feel worst personally. I think the best u can do is talk about those subjects without any taboo. Spend quality times with your friend, be genuinely interested. But it depends your friend personality too

Either guilt tripping you about how other people will feel or just telling you it'll get better.
I never understood the guilt tripping thing. I'm 20 years old, my parents are in their late 30s. Am I supposed to wait 50 years for them to die until I can go? I shouldn't have to drag myself along just to make sure other people are kept happy. I want to do what's best for me.
I just hate how such a personal decision is immediately made to be about other people.
It's also a bit insulting. Did you think I hadn't considered that? And why should I care if I know I'll be dead?
Personally I hate hearing: take it one day at a time, or it's just a case of getting through the next hour. I also really don't like being told it's not a solution. Suicide might not be the solution people like, but ultimately it is a method of solving the issues I experience and so is a solution.

And the problems we face aren't temporary. (Or they're at least as temporary as any problems you have in a finite amount of time on earth.) The most anyone can ever suggest is just distracting yourself. Is that it? Am I supposed to distract myself from the horrors of the world for however many decades I might have left?

Waiting GTA 6 constantly but my choice is to leave
Well that are some of obvious comments, and i imagine that everybody we will die also our family which is worth to be egoistic and end it once for all.
"It gets better." Sounds like something from the rash of lame suicide awareness pop-punk songs of the 2000s. I am 35 years old lol I'm sure if it was going to "get better" it would have by now. On the contrary, every year it gets worse.
All the usual shit -- it'll get better, people will miss you, you don't know what will happen in the future.

Yeahh being told to find a way to distract yourself gets infuriating. I spend all day every day distracting myself but when it gets to a point you can't exist without distracting yourself from your own mind, where your own mind isn't a safe place to be, what's even the point?
For me it's "It's your fault". Yes, I know I caused problems. My mental health is awful, and it's not your fault. But I don't need to be constantly reminded of it.
"You'll go to hell." I'm Catholic, so this can be common. In my mind, I don't deserve heaven anyway, and I am inherently made for hell. So I don't care.
