How was that process? Is your wife French? I wish I had dual citizenship anywhere.
It was not as big a deal as you might think. In order to get a visa that we can renew each year, we basically had to prove these things:
-We have valid passports and identities
-We are not going to take a French person's job
-We have health insurance (so that we don't end up stiffing the French healthcare system)
-We won't be homeless on arrival in France
-We have enough savings to support ourselves for the time of our Visa's validity (because we're not allowed to work for a French based company while we're here, see second point)I've been saving 50+% of my gross pay for the whole time I was working, and my wife is doing the same, so we had plenty of money available to buy plane tickets, pay lawyers to advise us, buy health insurance, and get help with the application process. Honestly, the lawyers were not needed and we're very expensive I would not use lawyer again. I used them because we needed to get out fast and I wanted to make sure that the first application would be successful. The instructions on the website for the French government were clear and straightforward and we could have done the application ourselves without major difficulty. There were even versions of the application forms available in English with checklists of documents to bring.
My wife is not French, but my mother, my stepfather, and my three step-siblings are. Unfortunately my mother naturalized here after I could have gotten French citizenship through her (I was 23 when she became a French citizen).

Just got so sick of reddits smarminess. It’s also just astroturfed corporate BS at this point anyway.
I’ve been boycotting Amazon for over a year (and quite frankly won’t ever stop), won’t shop at Target and won’t visit super corporatized social media.
Reddit has proven time and time again they’re just a whipping boy for corporate interests.
Yeah I knew it was bad but this last round of suppression was the final straw.

What happened 2/12?
Probably a bot instance being removed

I didn't realize that was only 50 thousand users. Muddy have been only 5000 in 2023 during the API Exodus.

Lemmy was for while like 50% bots, which is why you see random shifts generally.
Could be something else though

There is even a slur filter (it's not the case on other instances)

I'm using Thunder and really enjoying it
Does it save your position in the comments of a specific post? That's my #1 criterion for an app. Boost is the only one that I've found that does it

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .ee account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]
hey cm0002 why are you on lemmy.cafe now?
-
Guessing it's coming from shitjustworks people. Politics mod over there doesn't like anyone pointing out the Dems weak ass "resistance" even if you are lauding another Dem(Rep Green) at the same time lol.
Wherever it stems from it's getting annoying to deal with the influx of "enlightened centrists" that have the idea that anyone left of Biden/Harris is a secret Russian/Chinese disinfo agent

Been checking and commenting on Lemmy everyday since I made my account. Its my new first opened app of the day now

Yeah but fucking still. I never would've imagined i was surrounded by more peers at any given Bills game than there were people accross the whole world contributing to Lemmy on avg. That's sooooo fucking wild.
It's also so crazy how in a stadium of 70,000 people from US and Canada I will see someone i know every piss or beer break. Whereas Lemmy is half that amd I am 100% positive I've never interacted or saw a comment/post on Lemmy from anyone I know. It's just crazy to see the perspective of seeing the odds of being 1 out of 70,000 vs being 40,000 out of 6 or 7 billion. Obviously I'm intentionally ignoring all the variables at play for the real reason I know people at bills games vs lemmy but it's still the quntificatikn that I found amazin.

hey cm0002 why are you on lemmy.cafe now?
Trying to shore up against .ml brigading, before I was instance-banned so .ml users couldn't see my posts n stuff. Then 2 months later, totally not coinciding with a recent meme I posted, davel was so kind as to fix that and only manually ban me from .ml comms individually so that .ml users could see and brigade my posts and comments again
-
I thought the whole point of Lemmy was that it didn't matter what instance you joined. Can I move my account, or do I need to make a new one on a new instance?
Check out [email protected] or actually because you're on .ml, they block that comm instance wide
So you'll need to see it through another instance, like so lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
You get banned for dissent against Russia or China or even NK on .ml comms
