I still don’t understand why people want to come to this shithole country.
Would they believe if I say I don’t have Fecesbook and Xitter accounts (because I actually don’t)? I’d just lie for the rest…
And if you were a criminal, you would create a false account with unicorns on it.
Lol. The only people who would want US visas have handles like bigballs and 14heil88trump6969.
This is not new. I believe they’ve been doing this as far back as Obama (although it might have been less widespread back then).
Doesn’t make it any less wrong. They don’t need it, so they shouldn’t be allowed to ask.
What happens if you don’t have any mainstream social media accounts? What happens if you say you don’t have any mainstream social media accounts? What happens if you give them a the handle of a respectable “friend’s” account? How far do they go to actually verify or enforce this?
I did go through this on 2022 with no real social media presence. I just didn’t add anything to that section of DS160 and got through the process with no issues
I still say 4chan was ahead of its time. No handles, just a big mix of unknowns.
It was also raw as fuck. That allowed for some very honest interactions but also introduced a shitload of trash to filter through. Then the whole political influx came in a decade ago and fully ruined it. lemmy seems like a good middle way. no senseless karma farming but also some tools to moderate.
Was? Is. The political influx is just more trash to filter though.
It’s pretty much dead to me. I know it was always ass but at some point the OC/spam ratio gets too bad to bother. Lost memes were a good time. Now I’d have to sift through 80 incels calling eachother tranny to find a single post with a shred of an original thought behind it. Eh, maybe it’s the same and I just got too old for it. Doesn’t matter in the end.
you just outgrew it. same shit, different words of the day
Handles do exist, they’re just optional and most channers don’t use them.
