why: so the government won’t be able to use your money for whatever the fuck they’re planning for the next 4 years.

as a traveler, none of my money has been funding Israel, for example.

one-step method: you basically fill out one extra tax form called FEIE while you’re doing your taxes, write down the dates you were outside of the country, and then since you aren’t in the country and are not receiving any services from the US, you don’t have to pay income tax up to a certain amount (it’s a little over 125k this year).

    They’re currently set on “USA specific posts in a general community”.

    By the way, it’s always curious to me that there is no large instance managed from the USA.

    LW and feddit.nl are Dutch

    Lemm.ee is Estonian

    Feddit.org and discuss.tchncs.de are German

    SJW and lemmy.ca are Canadian

    Lemmy.blahaj.zone, aussie.zone and Reddthat are Australian

    There is Midwest.social but it’s quite small.

    Any idea of the potential reasons?

      “They’re currently set on “USA specific posts in a general community”.”

      you might be drawing attention to the thing you’re trying to avoid.

      “Any idea of the potential reasons?”

      No idea, although I was wondering the same thing.

      there are so many non-english communities that I regularly search for lemmy demographics out of curiosity, but I can’t even find ballparks on users categorized by nationality.
