I haven’t get my #viss, but since last year I was thinking about it. With these news and for what you see from the #USA, there is no way that I’ll throw myself into that humilliation
People want to immigrate to the USA still? Bizarre.
You can need a visa for tourism.
People want to travel to the USA still? Bizarre.
Ideologically unaligned visitors need not apply. Got to keep America pure, without the pesky freedom of subversive thought.
It’s a chance for
everyonevisitors to practice right think.While looking for a link, I found links that make me think some folks are trying to unironically reclaim the term “right think”. Gross.
Too many people aren’t reading 1984 anymore, while billionaires thought it was a “how to” guide.
Just don’t wait to ask Grok what it thinks “Right Think” is, as Musk plans for it to rewrite human knowledge and understanding with a new lens. :')
Good thing I delete that crap 10+ years ago. Enjoy the shitty data and memes!
Same, but it worries me that now I look like I’m hiding something.
I guess technically I am hiding something: It’s disdain. Disdain for shitty social media is what I’m hiding.
This is kind of stupid. I don’t even remember social media tags I’ve used. Who would want to go through this shit to get into redneckville?
Exactly, they are talking about dozens of names. Who on earth would remember that, let alone want to share it.
This was explained to me years ago. They don’t give a fuck about what you said. They want you to lie, in case they need to fuck you up. If for some reason they want to screw you, they’ll look for these uids, and if you hadn’t declared, they’ll slap perjury charges on you.
I legitimately do not, and have never had, any of the usual social media. This lemm.ee account is the only one I have, and that’s closing down soon.
However I would also never visit the us. So it’s all a win/win for me.

“Well that can’t be right. Highly suspicious. What do you have to hide?”
“What do you have to hide?”
Grizzly murders. Loads of them!!
…
…J/k. It’s my privacy. All those horrific murders were really easy to get away with, keeping my privacy private however…
Lol, now even the dumbest asshole should understand that they should cancle their US vacation…
Well, that’s one more reason to never come to the USA again
welcome to Autocracy ladies and gentlemen, sit back, grab some popcorn and pay attention to your neighbours, some might start dissappearing soon
dont threaten americans with what they want and voted for.
football selling out to Qatar who use slave labour and stone gay people to death, now US who hate foreigners and will detain you at random, and being in 2034 in Saudi Arabia, who also hate human rights is just the icing on the cake. I wanted to fly to the US for the world cup, but fuck that, fuck Trump and his cronies across the globe
What if you don’t have social media accounts?
That’s even worse.
Right away, jail!
“quite suspicous what do you have to hide?” and then they smack you with batons arrest you and put you in jail with gang members muders and every evil and vile person
This is stupid. This will not stop spies and terrorists, they will just create fake accounts. This will only hurt legitimate immigrants.
This is for non immigrant visas it says
What I said can be applied to any type of visa. The policy is not going to fix anything, it’s only going to invade peoples privacy and turn away legitimate visa applicants.
USA being USA
Btw don’t forget to switch instance
Seriously, what’s the advantage of having social media? Just seems like a liability with every account.
If you don’t have social media you must be “hiding” something and will be denied entry.
will be denied entry
Source:
look at the news, airhead. They detain tourists and journalists for far less nowadays. Even fucking Senators. What else needs to happen for you to wake up?
Who was denied entry for not having social media?
Make a fake one that posts like… idk post random tech stuff that you could be reasonably interested in. Make nothing critical of authority. As a decoy profile.
Then you can rant about big brother on an anonymous Lemmy Account over TOR.
and then they check their palantir database and see your lying and throw you in a south american gulag
But a super recent account would be suspicious
You have to do this over a couple years
I can see a black market for decade old “clean” social media accounts to bypass the system lmao
Finally a killer app for AI. Create social media profiles and use AI agents to populate them with bland uncontroversial drivel.
Sure why not, since my name is Anthony O’Neill. You can find my short form username: Anon.
What could they find? I bet I’m save.
I’m betting on the opposite problem,
We show here you’ve been VERY active. Please have a seat in this chair until we come for you.
You can find my short form username: Anon.
What could they find?
Yes, what possible community full of people named “Anon” could they find that would get you in any amount of trouble?
4chan. they call each other anon all the time
👀
America is such a fucking joke it’s no longer funny. I wish we could isolate the rest of the world from your madness but unfortunately we can’t.
Yeah, keeping our shit to ourselves has never really been our strong suit.
Sorry :(
As a Middle Easterner, I genuinely feel sorry for the non maga Americans, but unfortunately that’s your fight to fight.
Good luck.
And fight we do. I’ve considered myself an activist for almost 30 years now. I thought fighting for marriage equality was gonna be hard. I’m really not looking forward to this.
The comments are ridiculous.
People: if ThE cOuNTry sUcks, wHy doN’T aMeRiCAns dO anYthiNG aBOut iT?
Also people: LoL siLLy aMeRiCAn, AcTiviSm doESn’T wOrk
We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. Keep fighting the good fight. You’ve got a good decade on me, but I see you and I’m right there with you. ✊
[X] Doubt
“And fight we do” LOL
Unleash the devastating power of the Kumbaya warchant on your little stroll to the streets!
The regime will crumble before your eyes.Last 30 years of dismantling of civil liberties and it will continue
But at least gays got to marry ✊
That’s 5% max.
The Blue MAGA are just as bad for the world, they only cry now bcs they’re getting a taste of their own shit domestically.Depending on where you live in the world America has been pretty bad for a pretty long time. But I agree under this new technofascist oligarchy it will become a nightmare
For much of the world, it was already a nightmare
As a Native American this attitude would be a lot more understandable and palatable if America wasn’t colonized…
These immigration raids and terror tactics are terrible on their own, but it’s especially absurd when Native Americans get caught up in it, and it just fully exposes how disingenuous and transparently racist the whole effort is. So I’m sorry that your peoples have to suffer even more because of this racist mindset.
From a January article:
”If you can’t say, ‘we’ve been here for time immemorial,’ then you’re an immigrant. You’re not from here, so who are you to classify our Indigenous people? These lands have been a melting pot for many ethnicities,” Hatathlie [a Native Arizona state Senator] said.
I heard another more recent example of a car full of Native Americans being pulled over, aggressively questioned, and asked for their papers, but I can’t seem to find it. It’s utterly shameful how we treat people.
Can the native Americans just kill the leader of the colonizing force?
The terror inflicted upon Native American peoples has been complete, it seems. AIM is a good example of what happens when you step out of line with the controlled opposition.
I totally understand your sentiment. Undoubtedly the USA is built on stolen land, much like Israel.
All of history is one people taking over another peoples land. I’m not saying its right, but in virtually any part of the world there is a history of some invader or colonizer coming in and displacing or swallowing up the existing people, probably multiple times, down through prehistory as well.
and there are no illegals on stolen land.

My US visa officer: what do you mean you did not have ‘social’ media accounts in 5 years? No, these weird sites don’t count. Underground terrorist? Straight to gulag.
