I didn't want to make a sequel to a previous question which got discontinued for the very reason that one of the people in question began attacking the question itself in ways that are relevant here, but I've run into an issue and was wondering where the line is drawn. Because people know the person in charge of the fedilore community won't do anything about things when they occur (usually based on whether they are partial or not in a situation), some individuals have begun amassing as large a mob as they can to incite matters about me (of note, the majority of what they are saying is slander and/or taken out of context) even when absolutely irrelevant, with at least one of these individuals taking advantage of being invisible in certain instances. Where are the lines drawn, and may something be done?

So for reasons previously touched upon, Tuvalu is going to disappear in the next century. Because it's required as per protocol, they want to transfer themselves into the informational world as a substitute for what they need to keep all the perks of sovereignty (that moment when we get both such a nation and a Muslim pope before we get GTA 6). This, of course, doesn't come without its own challenges, such as exploitation by bad actors. So I was thinking... what if, in this state of existence, they were federated, mastodon-style? Would this win in the win-win department?

I was watching a lecture today about the fact that a number of Polynesian islands will be gone in about a century due to rising sea levels, and the people are currently looking for places to relocate to. And I was thinking to myself about how we're as worried about money as we are while not being worried about land in the same way. Alongside the nations that need to evacuate, there are nations with one person per couple of square kilometers and nations with one person per couple of square meters. There are people in need of a home and homes in need of more people. And there are people on foreign land and land nobody owns that's not claimed. You'd think it would be easy.

Nations have a lot of stuff going on, like overpopulation, war, natural disasters, etc. and half of the world has the potential to help. For example, Russia could receive half of the Chinese population to ease overpopulation, or the US (or even a billionaire) could set aside parts of Alaska for the countries being conquered by nature. But they won't. They see it as a nationalistic issue. But that doesn't mean you wouldn't or couldn't help. You, of course, see everything that's going on. In a world where your hometown could literally save another town somewhere, what would you do for refugees, even if law was on the line?
