Community mods and instance admins have similar powers, there will be similar power struggles, corruption and drama here too.

The fact that it will be easy to jump ship wont change the fact that it will be necessary to jump ship from time to time.

There are quite a few "statue parks" in Russia where they dumped all the old communist statues. Row after row of lenins, the odd khrushchev or brezhnev, a rare stalin tucked down the back. Lots of actually pretty good art of the common people looking super swole as they march into a glorious future.

All sitting in a muddy field in the outer suburbs of Moscow or Petersburg. It's a tourist trap but I found it to be a pretty poetic experience when I visited.

That makes sense, thankyou for explaining.

Most of the bad words are only 4 letters, I thought it might be something specific.

I waited 9 months and spent over $1000 and we allegedly have public healthcare in my country.

It was worth it though, I reckon I've saved that money back in a year just from reduced manic spending.

You: pooping every three days because you are constipated.

Me: pooping every three days because I forgot to eat.

We are not the same.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

I'm proud of you OP, well done.

Oh my gosh, this is exactly what I needed to commit to the jump. Thankyou for accommodating us creatures of habit.

Well for example, I read the other day that 1 in 10 flights taking off from the UK are private jets.

international law tells them to seek the first safe country

This is not true at all. It's not a requirement of the Convention on the Status of Refugees or any other international law.
