It's looking very unlikely I will be at PyCon US in 2026 (or anywhere in the US for that matter):

I have a ton of email addresses thanks to Fastmail's masked emails, plus my mod work for discuss.python.org might be “responsible for, or complicit in, censorship or attempted censorship of protected expression in the US”.

Add in https://snarky.ca/why-i-wont-be-attending-pycon-us-this-year/ being interpreted as showing "hostile attitudes toward its [US] ... government" and I don't feel welcome in the US.

Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan

Plan would apply to countries not currently required to get visas to the US, including Britain and France
