    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.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

I started reading philosophical pessimism recently, and paradoxically it's made me less depressed, though I do still have low days I'm mostly neutral with everything now. I can't vouch for it for everyone, it's still a fairly bleak outlook, but I hope it helps someone.

Pessimistic writings also make me feel better. And stuff on You tube. Check out an interview with David Benatar.
