Enter a foreign country and start slinging hate speech, that's never gone wrong for anyone

    If it was just them leaving the house and wanting to leave even if that is against the rules I don't think they would have gotten jail time, making online insults for no reason is the thing people won't be as accommodating for.

    if this were some form of state enforced punishment over insulting islam or the like we’d see people throwing all kinds of derision

    this kind of behavior for something so minor should elicit disgust

    that said people should be respectful to other cultures or not go

    You go to another country, you respect their rules.

    See nothing wrong with this.

    That's absurdly excessive. Also against free speech, no matter how shitty it is.

    If you’re a guest in someone’s house, it is very rude to insult the host, as much a snowflake they may be.

    sure but anyone supporting jail time over hurt feelings needs a reality check

    hope they enjoy the hit to tourism

    only responding to the second point because indonesia does this shit constantly to dumb ass tourists but whatever.

    idk if im "gatekeeping" a social media (not sure if you mean lemmy or reddit), im moreso just pointing out the decrepit culture of reddit that is a little bit ingrained in lemmy. idk, i was gonna say something dumber abt giving you a gold or whatever the fuck but thought just being direct would be clearer.

    potentially this is gatekeeping lemmy? if so, id happily do it again. The gross and wholely netpoisoned nature of thinking one story abt a white guy being a fuck ass in a foreign country bringing down the neocolonial tourism wealth that pours in from first world is... childish? idk cant think of a good word.

    anyway ill stop rambling to myself, im sure you didnt get anything out of this.

    places have reputations

    just because some people are dumb enough to risk places with draconian laws doesn't mean doing this shit doesn't hurt your tourism, especially in related time windows (you wanna bet this event is running in the news back home for this guy?)

    (also see USA ICE and the World Cup for an obvious example)

    i mean idiots go to North Korea and now the USA still

    and yea i don’t care about reddit or whatever hang up you have over it

    you’re going to be really disappointed if you lemmy or any other site will be different at large

    i seek advice - there are those who see Earth - the planet - as their house.
    It is rather difficult to argue that it isn't, especially when they do genuinely believe. [Edit]
    forgot to write the question - How to be respectful (not rude) to them?

    i agree kinda, i think you make a good point.

    but the earth is home to everyone else too, cultural differences are real, and should be respected. im not trying to say jailtime is a fit punishment (i dont think it is for most crimes), however, one should be respectful of places they are not from.
