What happens if you don't have any social media? I haven't posted under my name on anything in a decade...

    Honestly speaking I see a future where people like us are left out of an integral part of the economy.

    Many jobs will already disqualify applicants if they don’t have any social media, or refuse to provide account names. The rise of cancel culture means many businesses are extremely risk-averse, and don’t want any employees who are prone to posting inflammatory things.

    I would think that having no social media is a good thing for employers then...

    You will have to disclose your lemmy account.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if a random immigration official knows about your anonymous lemmy account you were already mega-fucked on the immigration front. They've been watching you and probably have a 3 inch thick file on you before you walked in the door.
