  • That $126,500 number refers to the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE), but it’s not a hard threshold below which you’re totally off the hook. U.S. citizens abroad still have to file a tax return if their income exceeds the standard filing requirement (around $14k+ for single filers). And the FEIE only applies to earned income, not investment income or retirement income. It’s not automatic, you have to qualify under the bona fide residence or physical presence test, and file the right forms (like Form 2555) to claim it.

    Even if you’re making well under $126k, you still have to file, and you might owe something depending on your situation.








  • When they IP banned me, I just turned off wifi on my phone and created a new account with a separate browser. But looking back reddit was never worth it. We’re all very addicted to this toxic form of crowd sourced moderated information. I’m not really convinced Lemmy is better on a design level, the upvote system is identical and doesn’t prevent echo chambers. I guess there’s autonomy with instances, so that’s nice…




  • Could be related to them going public - people are scrutinizing their operations a bit more. Same reason the view count for subreddits suddenly went down by a factor of 10 post-IPO. They always have been, and always will be corrupt.

    But really, they’ve banned me in very insulting ways. I only keep an account around in case I really need to engage with a niche hobby subreddit, and it’s barely ever used. This company should understand what the consequences of burning bridges with a user base is.



  • I don’t see in this post where we learn how you interacted with the thread…? Reddit doesn’t ban for multiple accounts, they actually tolerate it but so little you have to make sure each account never even views anything the other account engaged with in any way. Reddit runs the site with zero-trust and is mostly getting the user base they deserve.
