Dear Trump administration… I’ve already decided never to visit the US, you don’t have to sell it to me.
Perfect fit
Chill bro, we didn’t need another reason not to visit. We got it.
🤦🏻♀️ What about the people who don’t use social media? Or have used social media for less than 5 years?
Or people who disclose a suspiciously wholesome 5 years of social media use? Or use social media platforms that allow backdated posts - how well are those going to be scrutinised?
Why am I even asking? This is all so stupid. People only want to travel to places where they won’t be immediately grilled on what they think of the dictator. (…Out of curiosity, what’s the process like for North Korea? Strictly for comparison.)
If they find out, out the door you go.
I’m pretty sure the only posts I’ve put on Facebook in the past five years are all a version of, “Hey, I’m just checking in so y’all know I’m still alive.” I haven’t updated my personal information on there in about a decade.
None of you better come here. I’m not saying this because I don’t want you here, I’m saying it because we are literally on fire right now. We have a lot of finding out to do.
Check under your couch for Russians. Or Venezuelans. Or is it Chinese? Whatever it is, it’s certainly not a home-made problem.
Wow. Even China doesn’t do that.
edit Might be that they don’t need to get it from you
Ikr? Yet people are so afraid to visit China by contrast…
(Not that I blame theme)
Between China and the US I’d currently be less worried about visiting China. And I’m a white dude who has bashed the CCP online plenty.
china cares more about money, they do suppress news about thier country often to not scare away tourists.
This should be in Not the Onion. This is so farcical.
More realistically: tourists will just stop coming here.
Maybe that’s the intent?
I mean it genuinely is, seems like others are still in denial and not getting the message.
European: Haha, yeah I hate foreigners too! Now, onto our vacation in the Florida Keys-
Trump: No, you. I meant you. Get out.
He’s getting his buddies those covid-era interest rates, one way or another. Our sacrifices are ones he’s willing to make.
Pages 732 and 736 of project 2025 (50% complete already btw) outline the “suffolk banking system” that they’re forcing.
Combine SCOTUS ruling on the 14th amendment in summer of 26 and you can start to see the narrative of canceled midterms. Dude jerks off to the thought of surpressing riots
Wow. Next year’s World Cup is going to be either the biggest debacle, or played to empty stadiums (in the USA anyway). What a complete and utter fuck up.
Yea yea got it, US geography is all nice and that but I am not trying to visit there until there is zero chance of getting detained by ICE or border control “because of reasons”.
You can always be white and rich, that usually works.
Lol - looks like my old man is never getting to the US. He posts at least 1 meme a day on Facebook that comedically shits on Trump. It’s become something of an obsession.
Meanwhile, my brother-in-law is hoping to get to Boston with my nephew to watch Scotland play at the world cup. He’s been frantically un-liking dad’s posts and deleting his own for days.
No thanks
Yet another reason to avoid the US as a tourist. Looks like hotels and airlines did not bribe Trump sufficiently.
Seriously, this is so stupid. I’m never setting foot in US soil ever again.
What if we Holy Roman Empire and the feds just become a figurehead element?
Yet another reason to avoid
the USsocial media as atouristconscious being.Lemmy is social media
Lemmy is just a malagasi fish-basket hand-weaving forum for enthusiasts though.
Not yet rotten by algorithmic rot, I think as well. I see quite lovely comment sections and doesn’t feel infested with bots.
Could be wrong though, if anyone has any insight please provide!
Tbh the fundamentally fragmented, federated model the fediverse uses as a core design element does seem like it’d be far harder to centralize and comprehensively corrupt.
Definitely agreed with that, which is why I like it so far but am just worried or hold back. Hope there is going to be more activity on the whole system.
I see it as a win-win. I only have to open the app for a bit while on the loo. I don’t give a damn about hemorrhoids, this is my shitposting time!
Pre-sleep bedtime screentime is now reserved for Balatro (likely equally terrible to social media feed) or light reading (probably miles above those, but pales in comparison to paperback).
also less potential for AI slop too, reddit has been infested with so much bot, AI posts.
Wish there was far more clarity for any platform to see that. The dead internet theory isn’t a wild concept anymore.
Forums are social media now
o rly?
I’ve been sending emails to hotel companies and urging them to oppose this. I urge you to contact your congresspeople and also companies in the travel, hospitality and tourism industry and demand they oppose this policy and more broadly ask them to stand up to Trump because he’s causing people to rightfully boycott the US.
Also to everyone who is boycotting the US thank you so so much, I’m really grateful and as are so many Americans who also hate what the Trump regime is doing. The more people who boycott the more pressure it will put on companies to finally stand up against the Trump regime.
Yeah man, just remember we love you guys despite your insane government.
FIFA world cup is going to be a shit show.
