- you place an overdue library book on the floor in front of the front door. the library book merges seamlessly with the environment. six weeks later, you trip over it on your way out the house to go to the library.

That's not your decision to make for everyone else who comes here for access.
If you want an instance that defederates on political grounds, start one yourself.
please debate this somewhere else, this is not the place
gasp! not a ... hang on, let me adjust my glasses ... not a blurry outline of something resembling a tank! 😱
People need to stop agitating for defederation on the basis of politics.
If you want a safe space for one or another "team," start one yourself. I'm not interested in participating on instances which engage in this type of petty behavior.
Came back around to update: my mood improved greatly after I woke up and was able to take more control. I hid from the ongoing hangout and re-sorted all my gear such that I can now load an entire mess kit (including stove & fuel), and a full daytime hammock setup, into my car in 1 box each, which makes it far easier for me to just leave for the day when things are not going my way at the house.
That gear, plus my tech backpack of laptop, VPN router with LTE capability, large power bank, various cables & chargers etc, is what I referred to in the original post, been painstakingly collecting for several years. All of it was to get me where I am now, namely, able to do my kind of work in my way, even if it's not possible where I live, even if I'm starting in a (hopefully soon to be defeated) catch-22 of environmentally driven burnout which makes jumping straight into full time or even part time traditional employment a pipe dream.
I just now arrived at the threshold of getting out of this long burnout, so it's ironic that I felt the need to complain so much now, but peeps, this shit is hard. I can feel it physically aging my body much faster than what it should be. To say nothing of my mind and heart. I hope anybody going thru something similar may find something illuminating in my post & followup.
Ha!
