    I once, out of curiosity, mounted an expedition to the darkest regions of the internet, aka The Dark Web.

    There’s some shit there that can scar you for life. Don’t ever go there, seriously.

            Oh you sweet summer child. Reddit has moderation, administration, …rules? Policies, terms of use?

            Reddit is the Disney Channel.

              The moderation took way too long but I understand that it could be even worse but the internet is still a fucked up place maybe less than before but still bad

            It’s not “oops, I accidentally stumbled upon a cache of child porn” fucked, like back in the early days of the WWW.

            You’ll run into fucked up people; but the content is like Sesame Street levels of fucked by comparison.

      There are some useful websites out there if by darknet you mean the Tor network. BBC, Debian, Reddit, and Z-Library (an eBook download site that had its content availability reduced after legal pressure) for example have onion domains.

      I highly doubt it, my mind was s very strong and I have seen many thing in my life, gruesome death, abuse you name it. Nothing disturbs me. In comparison, the average person is too sensitive

        Thinking of it a bit differently, have you considered you might not be sensitive enough? There’s some real benefits to living with a healthy dose of sensitivity; for one, it is part of a healthy response to situations that could be physically harmful to you. Best of luck out there :)

        I’m actively avoiding growing insensitive to stuff like this

        My sense of normalcy kinda depends on not being apathetic to abuse
