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.

I have. Usually people are pretty talkative and eager to meet others with shared values. I've made a lot of friends this way.
No, the only times anything crazy happened I was either young (and therefore in better physical shape and a little braver) or got there late, thereby avoiding what was later reported on the news as having been shockingly violent (for anyone who thinks canada is somehow better, think again).
You're lucky. I'm not sure what brought you to this forum but if that can happen for you I'm guessing your social life is pretty healthy.
I never have exactly all of the shared values or culture at any rally or any place anywhere as it turns out. I was fabricated out of a conglomeration of factors that overlap with a few groupings but match with exactly none.
There never will be 100% overlap. The rally is for a particular value, not the myriad of others that its supporters may or may not share. But I relate.
People definitely don't go to protests alone. It's a social event. And I assure that they are fun entertaining endeavor if you go with friends.Welp, protests usually aren't a fun entertaining endevour in general. But I'm not sure if everyone is going there with a friend. I think many do come alone. What really matters is whether you genuinely believe that your presence there makes a difference. I admire your desire to make the world a better place in a peaceful way
Yeah that's the impression I've always gotten. It's not that no one goes alone but those people are a small minority. And some of them go alone but then hop between different social groups who know them and seem pleased to see them and interact with them in a manner that suggests that they are already friends even outside of protests. It's not only and obviously not intended to be primarily a social event but in the end that is a factor that greatly affects whether a lone citizen will want to bother going.
