No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

My “social media account” is my LinkedIn account, which shows my record of employment and links to coworkers.
It’s all information a government could find elsewhere, and seems to generally meet the requirements.
Keep the social media account and don't travel to the US. Problem solved.
don’t travel to the US
Me, already in the US, and its my only country of citizenship:
(Also, I think its kinda speading. AfD support in Germany doubled. RN in France is also kinda gaining support. 😬 Not a good time for freedom in the world)
We had a similar party here in Denmark, that became second largest party of the country with 21% in 2015, When the government introduced tough restrictions on immigration, they almost vanished a few years later, only very narrowly managing the 2% minimum requirement to have seats in parlament.
The popularity of the party was highly based on limiting immigration, much like Brexit, Trump, AfD and AFAIK also RN of France.
God damn,it really is just people being xenophobic everywhere isn't it?
I still agree with the above user it's gonna get worse though, if xenophobia truly is the common factor climate change is going to fuck Europe.
it really is just people being xenophobic everywhere isn’t it?
That's what it looks like to me. Italy too AFAIK.
Marry a Canadian
Only works of they don't become a US State within a couple of years
My US work visas were approved despite leaving the social media section on the form blank
Do you have any tangible proof that you get marked as suspicious in any system?
Also my answer is no. Also, the companies feed on people that have that pathetic outlook of “they aren’t going to stop collecting data”. You can still take measures to protect your privacy and mitigate your information from being farmed. Granted you won’t be 100% unless you are living off grid and away from human contact, but that doesn’t mean you should cuck out to the data farmers.
Do you have any tangible proof that you get marked as suspicious in any system?
Look at recent news of the USA. Shits getting very fascist. I suspect they are doing phone-checkpoints like some other authoritarian countries are already doing.
You… suspect. So no evidence then, got it. This is how false information spreads.
I know they do phone checks at airports, but that's for international travel and not sure it's relevant to OPs concerns.
For all practical and legal purposes anywhere within a 100miles of the border AND coastline is considered the border. You can literally be stopped in the middle of Boston by CBP for customs enforcement.
Just wait a month or two...
I promise not a single person is watching what you do.
Nice try, Fed
As SuperSleuths designated online fed, I can confirm that he's also a fed. It's a circle of online monitoring.
I'm no authority, but no
At this point, the feddiverse is growing fast, and demeta/degoogle/dex are not new concepts.
At this point, it isn't about what service you use, but what you post.
No.
I got linkin as my only mainstream social media
The only have a LinkedIn for anything mainstream and it's been that way for years now. No one has broken down our door so far.
