    Legal risks: serious in theory, none in practice. Just don’t leave your instance running unmonitored for months and make it moderately difficult for bots to sign up. There are tools to detect child porn and other such material but they require a GPU which makes hosting a server quite a lot more expensive. Just make sure there’s a way to contact you in case of problematic material and you should be fine. Read up on your local laws about what’s expected of you as a hosting provider if you’re still in doubt, every country has its own requirements.

    As for mental health, it depends on what kind of people you attract. A group of friends visiting normal communities brings barely any mental toll, open signups will have you spend time every week banning and blocking abusive accounts and filtering out borderline porn content.

    Sending the labels from a central location seems wildly inefficient when label printers are as cheap as they are.

    Plus, prices are already adjusted at the state level at the very least, if you’re gonna ship every store their labels from a central location you may as well update the tax info on them.

    Even the budget stores here are switching to a digital display system with those small e-ink displays. When that technology hits the US, there really won’t be an excuse not to label things including tax anymore.

    Most expats leave after a few years. They only move in to make a quick buck with tax advantages and then move back/on to another country.

    I suppose they’re a form of immigrant, but a very specific subgroup. One that often also doesn’t intend to integrate with local culture, so their approach is quite different from most legal immigrants. You can’t really compare the experiences of war refugees with Americans that come work in another country for five years, even though they’re both forms of immigrants.

    I don’t just consider the Brits and Americans to be expats, I’ve also met expats from eastern Europe, India, and South East Asia. Maybe the rich expats don’t like to be grouped together with them, but I also consider the cheap eastern European labourers that do jobs like working the fields for half a year to be expats.
