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.
Revenge can be quite healing. Since people have ideologies about it, maybe best to phrase it as "Is tit-for-tat a good strategy?" Revenge sounds more rational when phrased as game theory
Adam Smith said this about his society, and I think it was a reasonable mindset:
"A person becomes contemptible who tamely sits still, and submits to insults, without attempting either to repel or to revenge them. [...] Even the mob are enraged to see any man submit patiently to affronts and ill usage. They desire to see this insolence resented, and resented by the person who suffers from it. They cry to him with fury, to defend, or to revenge himself. If his indignation rouses at last, they heartily applaud, and sympathize with it. It enlivens their own indignation against his enemy, whom they rejoice to see him attack in his turn, and are as really gratified by his revenge, provided it is not immoderate, as if the injury had been done to themselves."

Implementation-wise, it helps to have great friends who'll help. As injured parties may be too emotional to be moderate or even effective
I think that's offensive to abuse survivors who used fawn, freeze, and flight as a way to survive. submitting is a fawn and freeze strategy to surviving an abusive attack from someone. All these ideologies are weird as fuck tbh.

It doesn't matter what you think is "offensive to abuse survivors". I support them quite frequently, and many TELL ME they want revenge. And so I help them, directed by them. It's not up to you to judge them
If someone wants to use fawn/freeze/flight, then I might help them do that too.
Please excuse me, I didn't realize this thread's hidden agenda; I'll ignore it
