• Hey Guest,

    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.

I used to frequent a self harm recovery forum, and given the need for discretion for users who didn't want anyone else they lived with to see them there, the site implemented a panic button.

Basically how it worked, was once enabled, you could put in a URL of your choosing via profile settings, I think. Then a red ! button would be in one of the bottom corners of the page, and if someone came in, click it and it redirects to the selected URL.

I don't live alone, and get paranoid that I might be caught browsing or posting here by the person I live with. Would it be possible to implement such a thing here?

Can't you just keep another browser window in the background and Alt-F4 this one whenever you have to?

Yeah, I do that already. I get paranoid about not being fast enough, but I guess that'd be an issue with the button too. Was just a thought.

Best bet, and easier to not mess up pressing is if you're on windows, hit the windows key + D and it minimises everything and just shows your taskbar, make the desktop icons compact so the title bar doesnt show, only the browser icon.

This is very quick and effective. Then just pretend you're doing something on your desktop for a moment.

Hey, sorry it took me a while to get back to this, I haven't been on for a while. But this is a really good idea I hadn't thought of, thank you!

Mac OS: press F11/command-f3 for Exposé , keys are mappable though. Also command-m will minimize your current window.
