The mainstream articles often fail to mention the differentiation between retail and wholesale CBDCs. Here is a World Economic Forum document that clarifies some of the dystopic potentials of this differentiation:
What I like about crypto are the aspects of decentralization and transparency. Meaning for a project to be transparent, it needs to be 100% open source, otherwise nobody can verify their claims. Worldcoin is one of those totally centralised project, that everyone should keep away From. I would call it a scam, cause the way I see things capitalism is a scam but I think a dystopian control project would be more accurate.
In the article it says:
Portugal joins Kenya, (...) in raising regulatory eyebrows
I'd say this is an understatement. Kenya spotted this and suspended it early August 2024. It was launched late July of the same year:
@SharkAttak in the link you provided it says stuff like:
There's threads denyng the oppression of Uyghur muslims (...)
Other posts deny that North Korea is oppressive.
I don't understand how these posts are a proof that lemmy has a bunch of devs that are tankies, since there is no link to the problematic threads they mention. If somehow I missed them could you point those out to me?
Also not too sure I understand how this is a topic related to devs and not mods?
To my understanding this is a general issue at this point, it happens with upvotes, boosts and all sort of things. Here is a related post and for updates this is the relevant collection
It's atrocious that the UAE was going to do any business with Israel in the first place
I'm not so sure about that. To my understanding the Abraham accord for instance was a way for the UAE to try and "push" the Israeli government towards peace in the region / Palestine:
Does anyone know how a moderator can restore a thread that they deleted? I mean I have the impression it is possible, this is why I'm asking. If I manage to find out before someone replies, I'll add a comment bellow.
The way you describe it I would say this post is in the news-like content.
Apart from that, in the description of this magazine it says otherwise and does not limit its content the way you describe it. It doesn't mention what the source should be, talks about the content. I will use only the part I find relevant to this conversation:
@politics on kbin.social is a magazine to share and discuss current events, analysis or other informative content related to politics both domestic and international.
So what you say just doesn't make any sense according to this community's description, rules and guidelines. Unless I'm missing something? If you have something to add, I am all ears.
@HandsHurtLoL and the other mods, for starters, thank you for your time.
I am trying to understand how the rules are related to the removal of posts in this magazine. I ask this because I have had so far 3 articles that have been removed but to my understanding they where totally compliant with this magazine's intentions and rules. I only contacted you for the 3rd one, which was reinstated but I was not given any explanation for the removal. I was no exception, I saw in the mod log that explanations are rarely provided.
So may I ask, why were the following 3 articles removed in the first place? I am trying to understand the criteria of this magazine in order to comply to those and be part of the conversation.
