A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Do tell. How did you do it and how are you doing?

10 years. It was a lot of paperwork. Got a job in new country, built a new life.

There are a lot of valid excuses why one cannot emmigrate, but "I'm not filthy rich" is not one of them. Some people use that theory to assuage the cognitive dissonance. In other words: emigrating is a fuck load of work, and it's easier for many to simply lie to themselves that they need to be filthy rich.
