hey okay i wanna hear from fedi people who moved to another country (especially when they were forced to do so due to various circumstances); 1st generation immigrants, refugees and so on, everyone else stay out of it
is it bad that i wouldn't want to come back to my home country even if the situation would vastly improve in terms of civic rights?
like, sure poland isn't war-torn by any chance or under a full on dictatorship like some countries; but i don't want to go back there permanently. for a visit or such, sure okay, but i'd rather settle here in NL and live here even if i don't speak the language.
there are very very few circumstances where i would consider coming back (and those are pretty unrealistic come on) - i simply have plenty of trauma when it comes to life in poland (most related to my DV situation but still)
idk, most of the time i see the trope of people using immigration as a temporary solution and then coming back to their homeland after years (war ended, they earned enough money and so on) and i feel like an outlier for wanting to stay

@kaaskop Personally, I would consider returning to Poland only if some particular aspects change for the better. However, considering the current political climate I doubt I'll be living long enough to see it.
So far I'm preparing for acquiring Dutch citizenship.

@agturcz yeah, i don't know what sort of a fucking miracle would need to happen in poland for me to consider going back, especially when i don't have any sort of proper support network over there… unlike in NL where i have an entire group that i can rely on in case shit goes wrong
maaaaybe if they'd improve working conditions, queer rights and the housing situation but we all know you might as well go gamble and hope to hit a jackpot

@kaaskop I am a little bit envy for having a support group here. Covid and burnout have messed up things for me. I need to catch up 😅
I've left Poland because of the working conditions, and I'm not getting back because of lack of queer rights.

@agturcz they say by the age 20 you should have at least one online friend from another side of the world that you've never met but whom you trust with all your life
and to be fair, was it not for them we wouldn't be talking right now. i wouldnt make it to 2025
sure, life isn't as good as i'd want it to be (i still need to find a job…) but it's improved by tenfold
actually, we should meet one day methinks, depending which part of NL you're in (if you want to ofc)

@kaaskop I'm not saying "no" for a meeting, but please check my pinned introduction post first. However I would suggest to postpone it till the weather becomes more friendly for riding a motorbike 😊
