I think I went on a rabbit hole reading about this island online awhile back. IIRC they speak creole Portuguese, while EG speaks Spanish, and have been punished by the government for wanting independence for years. This Internet shutdown is just a drastic and recent punishment.
It does seem like a nice life there. But very different than what we in the west are accustomed to. They lack many basic necessities, there's shortages of everything that's imported.
It would be important to not be a burden to the community. Starlink isn't available there, so I'm not sure of another way to work remotely from there. And unless you have a skill they would benefit from, you might be a strain on a community already stretching it's resources. But I do see the appeal of an island like annobรณn.
