I’ve been vocally anti-american for nearly 10 years, but the real question is “why would I want to be friends with someone called ‘Tindertranslator’?”
Honestly, if you spend that much time on social media, would i want to be friends with you?
What has time to do with anything? You can spend one hour a month on social media and still make your disdain for Trump and MAGA clear.
Oh, i see you decided to misinterpret me on purpose. I’ll rephrase.
Why would i want to be friends with people that place such a value on social media?
Isn’t Lemmy a type of social media? I know they meant the popular apps, but in my opinion Lemmy is still social media.
I can show them my social media stuff and give my DNA if Trump gives me the Espstein files without censorship.
I don’t think I would be allowed in the US anyway. Given that my last 5 years of social media history is non-existent I suspect they would think I was being subversive.
You’re starting to make China look progressive. What are you doing?
What are you talking about? Your lemmy profile is over two years old… Lemmy is social media.
Ditto re social media. I bet not having social media will get you discriminated against for being old.
Given that Trump’s USA is no longer an ally to us in Europe, I’ll never set foot in that country again.
It’s not “Trump’s USA”, he’s just one tiny, orange facet of the same beast, which is world-wide (with USA being the source).
NVIDIA, Apple, Amazon, Walmart, et al find Trump very useful as he is motivated by greed alone.
You’re pretty naive if you think the US is the source, lol.
How so? USA is money central, the capital of the biggest economy since at least WW2.
I’m not saying the original source, I didn’t mean to imply that. I think that would be the banks if I had to pick just one.
Who do you think is the source today or how far do you go back?
Ha! I guess.
Based on what we learned in the very short window when Twitter let people see location information about specific accounts, I think we can trace a lot of Trump’s “grassroots” support back to Russia.
Russia has a much smaller economy, not even equivalent to California.
I think you give them too much credit, Trump even played a rich businessman on TV; he’s an “ideal” Republican candidate (name recognition and for sale to highest bidder)
Ahhh, you’re talking about economically, not politically.
Is lemmy social media?
If not, i have no social media in the last 5 years except 1 post on facebook trying to rehome a dog.
100%, absolutely it is.
I don’t consider reddit/lemmy as social media. The lack of ‘necessity’ of having your personal info plastered about and inserted into every exchange makes them something different. They’re just a different form of forum, in my opinion, with nested comments instead of a long chain.
Forums are a type of social media. It’s a media platform where you can be social.
Yeah I never really got the whole “forums aren’t social media” thing. Only difference I’ve ever seen is lacking a need for followers which I guess for a lot of people is enough.
I am a bit torn. I think social media has kinda moved from things like forums and chatrooms, to twitter/Instagram and so on.
Forums are a part of social media, but when asking about someones social media accounts or activity, you don’t really go to what forums they are on, it’s always ticktok or Facebook.
You could also say that comment sections under articles are social media as well, but that’s not the typical association with the term.
You could also say that comment sections under articles are social media as well
I think that comes down to what the primary purpose of the site is. News media is mostly about disseminating information with their comment sections being a sad, withering afterthought where nothing of value ever happens.
But you can also be anti social and just bark on lemmy. So it’s not 100% social media (at least I don’t consider it as such).
I wish Charlie Kirk was alive to see this. Only so he could be shot through the throat. Again.
Trump’sUSA. The USA is USA, fight backHow about like 12, or whenever he announced his campaign?
US boarder agents - show me you Facebook
ME: I deleted it in 2016
BA: okay show me your insta
ME: I don’t have insta
BA: wtf.jpg, okay Twitter?
ME: nope.
BA: visibly frustrated … Reddit then?
ME: deleted that account when they fucked over 3rd party apps.
BA: writing refused to comply, rejected.
Same, but if they’re trained to look for the Voyager icon I could be in “trouble”
But for now, this is the last place I can say it:
I hope Trump is hanged for treason and violently shits himself to death out of fear and panic in the seconds before the noose snaps. And then a buncha hand-scrawled notes confessing his pedophelia, sexual assaults, rapes, and love for AOC’s feet fall from his pockets
I think Signal has an option built it in to disguise the app as something else. Lemmy apps should start adding that function.
I think Android in general has a way of hiding certain apps.
I couldn’t find the options so I just don’t go to the US. Seems like the easier response.
Why not travel with a burner phone?
Voyager does have a face-id-to-unlock feature that enable. But yeah, a facade icon/name would be awesome as well
They wouldn’t hesitate to hold it to your face to unlock it.
Passcode would be better, but I’m not sure the 5th amendment works at border crossings like it should.
From my understanding it does. The only thing is, that while they have to let citizens back in, they don’t have to let their phone back in
I hope he gets Ted Kaczynskis old cell.
same but interstellar for me.
I wish I knew a Genie to make your wish come true.
The Monkey Paw says “nah, all good on this one, no downside”
Can’t speak to a Border Agent if you stay away from that shithole country.
*taps forehead
They want to make us all antifa terrorists if we’ve ever dissed capitalism or Christianity. Or christo-fascism presumably.
sadly I’m stuck in the center of the shithole (in a thankfully blue area).
Depends… some people are just more careful with their internet usage and don’t post every political opinion online.
Some people need money, have families…
But anyways: trump can suck my dick
I’m a citizen, y’all can’t deport me.
(I mean, if they try, I’ll get a bigger press coverage than Mahmoud Khalil, so if they do, so be it, I’ll die a martyr and my name would live down history)
I’m a citizen, y’all can’t deport me.
Considering how ICE ignores things like “Due Process”, you won’t even get the chance to prove that you’re a citizen.
We’ll see how far this shit deteriorates… its quite possible… I just hope I get my name in the history books lol.
trump can suck my dick
Careful there, he might take you up on that
😳 Ok nevermind, I recind the offer. I bet he can find some horses somewhere.
I was talking to a recruiter the other day and apparently it’s almost impossible to recruit internationally for the US.
Out of curiosity, why would you get bigger press coverage? Zero judge, just curious.

I think you have a very optimistic view of the US if you think the people that don’t care if one group of non-white citizens are deported is suddenly going to be shocked and appalled when a different group of non-white citizens is on the chopping block.
I sincerely hope that it never comes to that, but thinking that your deportation is going to be the straw to break the camels back is a little arrogant.
Considering the categories of people that have already been deported in the last year, I think you’re not taking the threat seriously enough.
I mean I’ve been avoiding going outside, that’s my way to reduce risk.
It’s because of this very political issue that I feel so anxious and even more depressed, which is why it’s hard to make plans.
What am I supposed to do?
Its like nuclear war, shit can go down at anything. It’s outside of my control.
Canada won’t take me. EU won’t take me
I hate PRC.
Moving isn’t so simple, I don’t have the advantage of being young when I learned English, I’d stuggle a lot. Moving take a lot of effort, something I’d struggle to do with depression.
I think you are overestimating the amount of things someone can actually do.
You realized during the Wong Kim Ark era, my people faced worse? They still have the guts to continue living. I mean… am I supposed to run every time there’s a problem? It’s not like there is anywhere to run to.
(cant think clearly right now, sorry if I’m rambling)
People also said that Roe v Wade would be a red line that’d lead to mass protest.
I wouldn’t bet on it.
I mean, there were mass protests, they just didn’t do shit.
My genetics already has me barred.
Honestly true. Especially with how angry these snowflakes get about the smallest things.
Did you truly life, if you didn’t make at lease one passing reference to that “I have read some obituaries with great pleasure” quote about Trump? Don’t think so.
It’d get me shot in certain parts of the USA.
If I travelled to the US, my latest post would get me and three generations of my family sent to Aligator Alcatraz
