YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

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).

correct, yes.

I was trying to tactfully point out your comment's redundancy, given the specific post title and body explanation of US tax code relevancy.

it's sort of like I made a post about male seahorses giving birth, and you pointed out that male zebras do not give birth.

correct, for sure.

Just trying to avoid this community turning into !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world where all the questions are about the US elections

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

in that case, you want to retrain your target parameters.

they're a bit wide.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.cafe 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

No idea, although I was wondering the same thing.

I just created a thread on !fediverse@lemmy.world , let's see how it goes

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

nice, I'll save it.

I'm definitely curious.
