If they remain US citizens, they will have to pay US capital gains tax on the sale of their home in the place they now live. They’d also be liable for US federal income tax. This would be on top of whatever taxes they’re liable for in the country they moved to.

If they have renounced their citizenship and are no longer resident in the US, then they’re (broadly) no longer liable for US taxes, including US capital gains on the sale of their home.

Renouncing citizenship is expensive, but massively cheaper than the taxes they’d pay as non-resident US citizens. I’d assume their income had come in under the threshold or something, so the matter only came up when they wanted to sell their home.

Nothing is more delicious to conservatives than a small, powerless group who do not fit into the so-called social norms to attack as a scapegoat. Perfect for distracting their supporters from all of the fuckery and wanton neglect that conservative parties pursue, and perfect for whipping up emotional fervour in the mind of those who cling to conservatism out of fear of difference.

Other groups & causes which conservatives tend to target may willing to jettison the needs of a tiny group for their own ends if they can get their own ends met, and fracturing solidarity is incredibly useful, if not essential, to conservative goals.

As such, people who are seeking treatment for gender dysphoria are the perfect target for the GOP to rail against.

Don’t even care about SEO fuckery, if the damn things would respect my search queries.

Quotes, operands & other modifiers seem to have been straight up jettisoned.

Pfft, looped that thing for hours. After a time my brain just began conjuring other sounds out of it.

Crochet. Lot of things to make which are small so the hobby is very portable.

And what year it is!

EDIT: wtf, my comment was supposed to be on a totally different post… jfc.

Tbf, there are far more pressing reasons for distrusting Tankies… Instances getting hacked is for sure aggravating, but it isn’t the gulag-backed paranoid ultra-corrupt authoritarian hellhole they so admire and wish to expand globally.

LittleSnitch if you’re on MacOS, though I gather Apple has been caught overriding users’ rules to phone home, so you may want to combine it with other measures such as a DNS manager.

Hoping any that are still staging protests are doing it to keep the mess visible to remaining users, current staff & potential investors. Reddit cannot retain any one of those without the other two.

Set subreddit designation to NSFW, then unleash waves of bots running AI hentai generators, ideally set to ingest the output of same.

Posting links to articles which have attracted a lot of discussion on Reddit might be a good idea, as one of the things it was great for besides the niche subreddits, was the news aggregation. Grabbing those links would save a lot of work rummaging around for them or writing bots to grab stuff from different publications.

Cross-posting other types of post just seems a bit… weird and clumsy, and I don’t know that using such a technique to try to speed up the development of discussion on kbin/lemmy would be the best approach for building a robust & lively culture over here, tempting as it must be.

Personally found it diminished Reddit and many regular media outlets, that so many thought it fit to post screenshots of Twitter comments.

Have had a few moments where I’ve been tempted to open it up, and even that makes me feel grubby.

There are far worse things I have yet to boycott though, so it doesn’t feel very balanced to have such a strong reaction to this particular thing.

Will visit in a few days to ensure that my comments have remained deleted and to close my accounts. I gather Reddit has been reinstating content deleted via PowerSuiteDelete and the like. Most of mine were done long before the recent crisis, and overwritten for a while before being deleted, so am hoping that though they’ll still have original versions on a server somewhere, it will be too awkward for them to bother making them visible.

May also make a GPDR deletion request. Strongly suspect these companies don’t truly respect those, but it does mean they have to be a bit more cautious with relevant data.
