• 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.

"This too shall pass," there's an Arabic folk tale with the same title. I like how it is double-edged sword this folktale can be depending on how you feel.
The folktale says:
"There was an Indian king who asked his minister to engrave on his ring a phrase that if he read it while sad he would be happy, and if he read it while happy he would be sad. So the minister wrote (This time will pass)."
It's not as if I like those self-help wisdom but this one seemed different to me. Because it isn't necessarily optimistic. In fact it's kind of nihilistic. It implies that neither the position nor the problems are permanent. They will all pass and become a positive or negative memory. Even you as a person will pass, like everything else. You will either do what immortalizes your memory, or you will melt into memory and become one of the passersby, like millions of others.
Thank you for this, I think I see it differently now. It's really just that nothing is permanent, good or bad. It almost cancels out, like we can't win either way. Like in the end, it doesn't matter because it comes to nothing anyways.
