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.

Hanging or jumping

When I do it it will be by a high impact method as that seems the most foolproof. Either jumping or going to a stretch of highway where there's no other motorists to endanger, and driving at high speed into a tree or pole.
My method used to be a plan to step in front of a train but I've seen terrible videos of people being cut in half and remaining conscious and alive for whole minutes while people stood around gawping and filming.
Even jumping isn't necessarily foolproof I know, and you have the total consciousness before you hit the ground. I very recently saw a video on Reddit of a jumper who, and this feels like a chance in a million, landed on one of those upright columns that block off people from parking their cars. It impaled him through the anus and came out of his shoulder. He lived long enough that medics were able to get him off the pole and to hospital and he died later that day.
I don't want my death to be a humiliating agonising spectacle that gets shared in troll subreddits and Facebook groups for months.

I think it also depends on if you care if your body is intact or not. With hanging, although not pleasant, your body is still whole, with jumping not so much.
If I had to choose between hanging or jumping, I would definitely go with hanging. I could only ever jump by impulse but the thought of surviving after jumping is absolutely terrifying.

Don't think you can avoid SI with either of these methods. Both involve taking actions that go against our nature. If I had to choose one or the other, I'd go with jumping even tho I'm deathly afraid of heights, but only because I think I'd be less likely to fail than with hanging.
I'm assuming you tried partial suspension? This was my method when I was planning to CTB over two years ago, it takes a while and a lot of practice to find the right spot in your neck. There's a thread on hanging by NoLifeNoPain, I'm hoping that will help you.
You could combine hanging and jumping, by affixing a rope to whatever you're jumping off, and making sure to have the correct length of rope to snap your neck (rather than choking you or ripping your head clean off). For this it's important to have non-stretchy rope--10 mm static line climbing rope is the option I am considering (though my plan is just for full suspension, nothing so spectacular as flinging myself off a bridge).
