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.
Pretty awful to involve others in one's suicide, especially in such a traumatic way. Imo... also, no guarantee you'd be shot dead. Might just get yourself gravely injured

one of the worst ideas ever. chances are they wont get your heart. what if they shoot you in the spine and you end up paralysed? what if they shoot you in the leg and you end up crippled? what if they shoot you in the eye and you go blind? and on top of that you survive but go to jail and wont get another attempt
Well if you're black in the USA (and as you alluded to), they will shoot you 80 times until you die over a traffic ticket or for j-walking. Just make sure if you do try it, do it in California, New York, Chicago, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, or any southern state. If you're a white female, forget about it. Won't work.

Good chance you wouldn't die and then go to jail and have no chance of attempting again. Also, it's pretty fucked up to involve someone else in your suicide imo.
To be sure of provoking a cop into discharging a firearm you'd require to be presenting a clear and present threat to the life of another citizen or the officer, I'd guess.
So, if they use a Taser or fail to administer a fatal wound you're likely to receive fast emergency medical response and face subsequent serious criminal charges.
When you think of the countless instances in the US where police present or even use firearms without fatalities ensuing your chances of dying seem fairly low; and there are even fewer fatalities of the George Floyd type where physical restraint results in death.
And, for myself, the possibilty of PTSD for those involved seems a bit inconsiderate … do you truly want an innocent party to possibly finish up with mental (quite possibly suicidal) issues similar to your own ?
Maybe in USA but doubtful in the uk. You are also involving someone to kill you. That person doesn't deserve that on their conscience for the rest of their lives.
Like others have said- they may not kill you. They may just maim you. Plus, you have no control over who will turn up that day. Maybe it will be some trigger happy sociopath who won't give your death another thought. Maybe it will be a cop who actually cares and never gets over the guilt that they 'murdered' someone.
