  • If they remain US citizens, they will have to pay US capital gains tax on the sale of their home in the place they now live. They’d also be liable for US federal income tax. This would be on top of whatever taxes they’re liable for in the country they moved to.

    If they have renounced their citizenship and are no longer resident in the US, then they’re (broadly) no longer liable for US taxes, including US capital gains on the sale of their home.

    Renouncing citizenship is expensive, but massively cheaper than the taxes they’d pay as non-resident US citizens. I’d assume their income had come in under the threshold or something, so the matter only came up when they wanted to sell their home.



















  • Posting links to articles which have attracted a lot of discussion on Reddit might be a good idea, as one of the things it was great for besides the niche subreddits, was the news aggregation. Grabbing those links would save a lot of work rummaging around for them or writing bots to grab stuff from different publications.

    Cross-posting other types of post just seems a bit… weird and clumsy, and I don’t know that using such a technique to try to speed up the development of discussion on kbin/lemmy would be the best approach for building a robust & lively culture over here, tempting as it must be.

    Personally found it diminished Reddit and many regular media outlets, that so many thought it fit to post screenshots of Twitter comments.
