      If you have stuff like this. MAGA+swastika, or something that says Trump is a Nazi, is that considered bad though?

      Because I assume people who support them have that stuff too.

        Funny thing, they get to call themselves nazi as an edgy in-group point of pride, behind closed doors. You publicly calling them nazi for doing nazi shit is “hateful” rhetoric.

    jokes on them, I don’t use social media, other than LinkedIn, where it’s sole purpose is for job/career stuff.

        It’s the antithesis to social media. We’re all not socializing, but nerding over some topics nobody else is interested in. I don’t know you and I won’t know your user name five minutes after I’ve written this. And that’s not meant to be an insult, I really like it that way. We’re here for topics, not people.

        Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/whatever is about people, and I hate it.

          I’m guessing they consider reddit to be social media. Which means as a reddit clone, Lemmy would also be considered such.

          Though I wonder if Lemmy is popular enough for them to know or care about it.

          Fair, I am probably using it wrong, hehe. I definitely am picking up quite a few names and occasionally socialising. For me it’s just the current platform nerds are socialising on until this one gets too popular/ruined and we have to move again.

            I mean of course that’s how we use it. It’s just vastly different to the other networks, at least for me. The topic vs person difference is something I really enjoy though.

        I mean, if I google my name, lemmy doesn’t appear in any of the results. My personal info is not associated with my lemmy account. So, how would anyone know that I have an account? I don’t even use gmail, and people are confused enough when I tell them that, let alone that I use something called lemmy.

    Create a Facebook account with your full name that is on your passport and just post endless cat memes and nothing else. Keep it active regularly and post at least once a week. Whenever you have a block of time, post dozens or hundreds of cat memes, and comment with other people about cats.

    Maintaining this account will become mandatory if you want to travel from now on. If you want, do the same with Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Just non stop cat memes.

    Log on to these accounts when you go through immigration.

    If you want to use Facebook \ Instagram \ Twitter \ YouTube with friends, use a second account that is not remotely connected to your real name.

    User anonymous accounts for everything else.

    So in 5 years these young tourists from the countries that banned kids from social media will do what? They were legally mandated to stay off. And since they are brainrot free why would they start? Hell, why would they come to the US?

    Lol, jokes on them. Not only do I not use social media, but I also don’t want to visit the US. Been there a few times. Never going back.

      I’m in this same boat. Unless you count Reddit, or Lemmy, they ain’t finding shit.

      Not that I want to go to that shit hole country.
