I feel like if people like this person were in power, they would also start checking people's social media for wrongthink. I found over the years that the people who care about social media the most tend to be the most fragile and sensitive people you'll ever come across. Trump's check this box, but so do so many other people.

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'?"
Good wingman?
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.

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.
It's not linked to my name though is it. So it's not really about me.
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.
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.
You can do this in android if you use a launcher.

Can't speak to a Border Agent if you stay away from that shithole country.

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.
I never considered reddit/lemmy social media myself. The anonymity of it just feels different. Just because im online doesnt mean its social media (to me.)
I can play video games online, and post in their group chats, but thats not social media either. I tend to draw the line around anonymity and topics. If were not talking about individuals, and their experiences, and interests, in the target to promote that person, i dont think its social media
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 can show them my social media stuff and give my DNA if Trump gives me the Espstein files without censorship.
I wish Charlie Kirk was alive to see this. Only so he could be shot through the throat. Again.
It will really depend on if the customs person knows what Jerboa is.
I wouldn't volunteer that information....
~~Trump's~~ USA. The USA is USA, fight back
It'd get me shot in certain parts of the USA.
My genetics already has me barred.
How about like 12, or whenever he announced his campaign?
