You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
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.
Posts and comments 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 non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer 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.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
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- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Do you have a source for ANY of this drivel?
I was homeless for years, and have worked with homeless addicts for the last 10 years. Never in my life have I heard of these things happening for the reasons you give. Hell even to this day I don’t update a bank with my new address.
Could you provide a reliable source for more information about this actually happening to real people en masse? I have no doubt it’s happened to someone somewhere, but would be surprised if this was a real problem and I wasn’t aware.
I have to say I agree here, hell I've never updated one of my open bank accounts. It still has me under my mother's old house from when I turned 18, and I've moved at least 10 times since then. I've also helped/worked with/am friends with plenty of unhoused or at risk folks and never heard of being 'debanked. Now if OP wants to talk about getting accounts or your ID in the first place while being unhoused then that's a different story. Plenty of times I've seen it be next to impossible to get these things w/o an address. Not so much maintaining it w/o an address.
Although im sure anything is possible, so I wont discount it completely.
Yeah im not buying it, but the next line says instances of Muslim people having accounts closed have been covered by media. Although that's shaky at best. What media? Who specifically? Im not convinced that this even happens often enough for people to clutch their pearls
Edits: that claim to "Muslim money" is cited and links to an ebook about Canadian Islamophobia, but its using this book as a source to say Muslim accounts get closed in the USA and its covered by "media"
Duh your moms not returning your mail to sender is she? Derp a derp
I mean she might have if she still lived there smartypants. She lives in a trailer now. Bold of you to assume any of my family still lives there lmao
BOLDNESS IS ALL!
Job done, nobody will bother you and you can use electronic statements as proof for accounts. Just don't commit fraud with them and nobody cares.
This is just disguised anti-Trump nonsense under a veil of bits of facts tossed around. This is the equivelant of the right claiming that Joe Biden is wearing a mask. Ppl on the fringe are crazy.
Sorry where did I disguise my anti-regime feelings, here? This is an anti-regime post. I am not crazy. I am your enemy.
You’re not my enemy. You’re batshit crazy, but definitely not my enemy.
collapsed inline media
OOOFFF GOT ME
The Wikipedia is linked with its references...
The Wikipedia in on the term debanking and what it means. Not some wild anti-Trump conspiracy to come after you.

What part of that is related to this? I just read it.
Umm.... that's a terrible argument. Like, really, really terrible.
That said this does feel a bit like a red herring. I don't think having an open bank account is gonna do shit to help anyone kidnapped by the Y'allqueda Gestapo.
But, seriously, "this can't be true, cause if it was I'd already know about" comes across as really arrogant.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sorry you feel that way. While I am very experienced in the field, and as such would be surprised that this snuck by me, I miss things from time to time. That’s why I asked for references.
If experience in a field isn’t an argument for being knowledgeable in the field, you’re likely hard to please.
Wow.
I'm so sorry for doubting your infallible knowledge and wisdom!!
Well...no I'm not.
And don't even play that "I'm sorry you didn't react the way you were supposed to" crap.
And, no, your grandiose posturing means nothing at all to me. No one cares. You say you're an expert? Then you already know what evidence to cite to support your argument.
Your claims of experience are not evidence of anything but your over inflated ego.
I’m genuinely sorry that my words upset you.
Good day sir.
🤣
Yeah, whatever
Yeah, that's what I told my doctor when he said I didn't have unicorn pox. He was like, "that's not a real thing, and if it was I'd have heard of it," and I told him he was just an arrogant jerk. He doesn't know all the diseases, just cause he's a doctor.
