Create a Facebook account with your full name that is on your passport and just post endless cat memes and nothing else. Keep it active regularly and post at least once a week. Whenever you have a block of time, post dozens or hundreds of cat memes, and comment with other people about cats.

Maintaining this account will become mandatory if you want to travel from now on. If you want, do the same with Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Just non stop cat memes.

Log on to these accounts when you go through immigration.

If you want to use Facebook \ Instagram \ Twitter \ YouTube with friends, use a second account that is not remotely connected to your real name.

User anonymous accounts for everything else.

Another alternative is don't visit the US

Yup. It's unfortunate. I want to visit the US but it had become one of the countries I would not visit alongside China because of Orwellian surveillance.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Exactly this. On the plus side, Canada is a great country to visit too.

If you have stuff like this. MAGA+swastika, or something that says Trump is a Nazi, is that considered bad though?

Because I assume people who support them have that stuff too.

jokes on them, I don't use social media, other than LinkedIn, where it's sole purpose is for job/career stuff.

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Wait... is this not social media? What we are doing right now?

This is an anonymous forum.

It's the antithesis to social media. We're all not socializing, but nerding over some topics nobody else is interested in. I don't know you and I won't know your user name five minutes after I've written this. And that's not meant to be an insult, I really like it that way. We're here for topics, not people.

Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/whatever is about people, and I hate it.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 hours ago

I’m guessing they consider reddit to be social media. Which means as a reddit clone, Lemmy would also be considered such.

Though I wonder if Lemmy is popular enough for them to know or care about it.

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Fair, I am probably using it wrong, hehe. I definitely am picking up quite a few names and occasionally socialising. For me it's just the current platform nerds are socialising on until this one gets too popular/ruined and we have to move again.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 points 6 hours ago

I mean of course that's how we use it. It's just vastly different to the other networks, at least for me. The topic vs person difference is something I really enjoy though.

Not posting JD Vance memes to LinkedIn? Coward.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Just say you made it with AI to show that the future is now and LinkedIn will shit themselves for you.

insightful! 💡

So in 5 years these young tourists from the countries that banned kids from social media will do what? They were legally mandated to stay off. And since they are brainrot free why would they start? Hell, why would they come to the US?

Only the most deranged, cursed and absolutely hilarious. Wanna take a look?

I personally wouldn't want to do that.
