I quit meat and it was similarly amazing for my budget.

If that happens I'm going to see it as an opportunity to go no-social media for a year. I've done this with other things, for example not buying clothes for a year, and my habits have changed permanently with each exercise. I'm convinced that if you can do it for a year, it starts to become part of the fabric of who you are, and if that's preferable you're unlikely to backslide.

It depends on the growth curve. Right now it's exponential, which means it will keep growing. When you see it stay linear for a while, it'll probably start to flatten. At that point, it's either big enough to stick or it's not.

I use Sygic to figure out what I'm going to do there, it's such an underrated app. It gives you an idea o how long things are going to take and where your accommodation is relative to everything else and what your dates look like on a calendar. The logistics I physically draw out and write down on paper because otherwise it would be too complicated. I also have a very strong tendency to "wing it", so planning beforehand is necessary to counterbalance that.

Unfortunately that's on lemmy.ml, which as the mod has already acknowledged, really limits how far they can go. I agree that it kind of sucks, and a huge migration like this is never going to go perfectly, but I'd much rather get it right and have a viable community than not create one at all. I'm happy to make them a mod though so that they can administer both, I'm not trying to "compete" with them or anything like that, in fact I'd much rather not have to put the work in all by myself.

There are several subs in the minimalism realm. There's also the productivity and lifegoals communities.

Yeah, that's the point.

As the name suggests, it's for digital nomads - people who work online and generally live abroad or hop around.

Hardly any wait when I was there, but do budget in a bit of a buffer.

Don't worry, I'm sure spez is on it.

I highly doubt this is anything but a sad attempt at getting some good PR. We've seen other big mods suspended supposedly permanently who suddenly negotiated their way out of it. Reddit has no reason to lose such a great employee, if they did this person would have been banned years ago.
