I wouldn't mind moving since Mexico has a much higher quality of life than the US does right now.

I'd like to see how policies like these affect hospitality and tourism here in the States. These stories are not good for business.

Fediverse and DNS sinkholes FTW. Any way I can avoid becoming someone's money is nice.

Finland is again ranked the happiest country in the world. The US falls to its lowest-ever position in c/world@lemmy.world

That is the sickest thing, and the major reason tipping is such a problem in the States. Honestly, any establishment that runs on this sub-minimum wage platform deserves to go under. Next to prison labor and immigrant labor, this is the most demeaning way to live.

American here. I would love to visit your country someday. More Americans need to see what a better way of life looks like.

I was in a similar situation karma-wise. I was happy there until I saw how ruthless the mods could be. This is a better alternative to all that.

Hello, Lemmy community. I left Reddit for good once r/pics decided to permanently ban me because I posted to a Trump subreddit. I am not a Trump supporter, nor should that matter.

What got me banned was a post I made, which linked to a Forbes article criticizing the latest tax break attempting to get passed. It will allow a tax break to everyone who makes $150K or less. But where has that money been going? Social Security and Medicaid. Essentially, the governing administration knows that gutting these programs is unpopular, so they'll drain them of funding and call it a bonus. That's like saving funding for a hospital by cutting the electricity.

I posted a quote and a link from the article, was predictably downvoted for it, and I was done with it. Days later, the ban happened.

When I tried to contest the ban, I was muted for 28 days. For my innocuous comments in one subreddit, I was permanently banned from another.

This all happened today. Since the muting, I deleted my Reddit account and will not be going back.
