I don't think picking the right instance matters that much, Mastodon is a federated social network, you will be able to see what everyone is posting no matter what instance you're on and you can follow people from different instances without any problem.
I think the entitled artists are generally in it for the fame and what comes with it, that's why most of them think they deserve the special treatment, humble artists actually don't care about that at all, they do it for themselves, they just want to do their thing and lose themselves to the process.
Foreign tourists are always escorted by gendarmes in those places, especially when it shares borders with Libya. Local tourists can visit but some places require an escort.
Do you offer such service for people who live in third world countries too?
We are a couple, we live in Africa and want to move to Europe for a better quality of life but we don't want to live in the city. 50k is a bit hard to collect but we can manage if such a service would work for non-americans.
Yes we do, but it ususally will require more work to accommodate your specific situation. You might need to help us with that work to keep cost down.
I'm brainstorming now: Maybe you could keep your African house or land for a few years and swap with one of our rural land owners in Europe? I know a few who dream of living in Africa. Or we find enough tourists to rent your African place.
We probably could get you permanent visa's if you would legally be on the payroll of our coop (but maybe also keep your current jobs). Depending on your nationality, you need different visas. After a few years in Europe you would become citizens and would no longer need visa's.
I am sure we could work out a way that would not cost you $50K, maybe you could work for it and rent. We have helped African students to emigrate. Yes, I'm sure there are ways to make it work for you, send me an email and we'll make a plan.
You might wanna check c0d3[0] or fullstackopen[1], they are both free and self paced, c0d3 is opensource and has a nice small community and some mentors/students/engineers always ready to help on Discord. Once you finish the curriculum, you get in engineering team and start contributing back and gain some real world experience.
