The people with negative scores are the ones you can trust to be a decent person.
Best to delete all “social“ media.
No joke I got raided by police who must have realised they fd up big time, they spent about 3 weeks questioning me where they repeatedly tried to get me to name a non existent Facebook account despite the fact the Internet was nothing at all to do with their retarded raid.
Nomatter how often I told them I don't have a Facebook account the question they asked next is what's your Facebook account.
Holy shit!
What the fuck
It was bad enough when potential dates stalked you online.
Then it was shitty when bosses started doing it.
Then infuriating and decimating when potential employers started doing it.
And people were just ... Okay with it for some reason.
And now the ACTUAL GOVERNMENT is doing this?
No. Actually no. This is only going to get worse. Literally stop and think about this for one minute, this is actually terrible and we have to put a stop to it.
There's far too much stuff trying to control me and I'm fucking sick of it.
-100000 social credit for you bro. With such a low trust score you will never found a traditional christian family \s
Thank fuck
Were these politicians Made in China?
Authoritarians like other authoritarians, until their paths to more control collide.
As far as I'm aware the Chinese social credit score is almost entirely propaganda.
Yeah it was blown way out of proportion but I think it’s still something that exists, even if not implemented. Sesame credit.
These monsters crave power. They see oppressive regimes all over the world, stepping on people in a variety of ways, and think: "yeah, that's the stuff."
Trump: To defeat jina, we must become jina.
Not saying that a lot of people get arrested for posting their crimes on facebook, instagram, etc but a lot of people get arrested for posting their crimes on facebook, instagram, etc.
I mean - don't use those things. Delete them. Now.
What about committing crimes facilitated by facebook, instagram, tiktok? Those fraudsters (fake ads for high paying jobs, famous people peddling snake oil, etc) rarely get caught.
All the more reason to delete them.
And ideally don't commit crimes. But if you do, don't post about them on any social media, or anywhere for that matter.
The problem is when your previous posts are suddenly now crimes, and nobody cares about ex post facto any more.
Yeah it didn't used to be a crime to genocide. Genghis Khan got away with it.

Crimes are for the poor.
Agreed. And since Meta and Xitter are avowed fascism hubs, delete them anyway.
Sure. I deleted my Facebook >10 years ago, and I haven't missed it.
Just make sure to solve the real problem though. The police will still eventually find your posts even if you're using Lemmy or something else relatively niche. Just don't post crimes.
Let's see what a "crime" is in two years.
Right what are we talking about

As long as you call it Freedom Points or some other pandering bullshit the super patriots will cheer for it.
He can suck all of the fucks.
Terror groups like The Heritage Foundation, Proud Boys, Turning Point, those won't get you deported?
As if they care about hypocrasy. They actually enjoy being hypocrites because it "triggers the libs"
Trump is and always has been a spoiled child who's never been told "no" in his entire life, and he's going to continue to act like one.
For fascists, hypocrisy is a power move. It communicates to others you're so powerful you're effectively unstoppable.
Those would get you always a pardon.
In March 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio launched an AI-fueled "Catch and Revoke" effort to cancel the visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups. This program relies on the AI to scrape people’s social media to revoke visa applications of people who have been protesting Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. As of early April 2025, at least 600 people have apparently had their visas revoked because of this AI monitoring, a massive incursion into people’s right to free speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to protest.
The speed with which social media monitoring is growing is staggering. As of March 2025, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) has been working with web-scraping contractor ShadowDragon to pull data from over 200 different sites, social networks, apps, and services across the web to map out a person’s activity, movements, and relationships.
If they can do this to people with fewer rights than citizens now, they will do it to anyone they can, at any stage, as much as they can get away with it.
Normies love doing big talks about shepooh and his regime doing social scores...
But when faced with the same thing domestically, he will tuck that dick and pretend like it ain't the same 🤡

The magats will clap because this is what they want
(Apologies to parent, this is something I’ve been itching to say, but the parent isn’t the problem I’m discussing.)
They will clap because it makes them feel good. It makes them feel good because they think we don’t respect them, that we celebrate their losses (in the Laslow’s Hierarchy sense, not the political sense) and that we don’t want to lift them up with us.
So yeah, we have differences. (Stay with me for a bit.) They think a foul in basketball is something you’re allowed to do a certain number of times and then you have to stop. We think a foul in basketball is something you Should Not Do.
Is the solution more hate for the people who got duped by Trump’s team? Yeah they got played. Yeah they have cognitive dissonance. Yeah they’re on Facebook too much, fed poison by an algorithm that optimizes for engagement (you know, happy, horny, angry, anything except writing letters or volunteering or registering to vote). That’s no reason to hate them.
Help them. Love them. Even if there’s no internet points in it for you. (Certainly none for me because I’m usually a crappy communicator.)
A big reason to hate them is because they’re racist, hate filled shit bags. You are giving them too much benefit of the doubt. Any experience I’ve had where I try to help them in good faith has always been left with me realizing they were acting in bad faith only and know better, they just have the agenda of furthering white nationalism. So no, I will not give magats any quarter. It has nothing to do with internet points btw. This site doesn’t have karma to create some false hierarchy, who the fuck cares about upvotes and downvotes
