Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I was lucky enough to go there when they still allowed people to go up the temple at Chichen Itza, and it was pretty cool, but I couldn't image just climbing shit they tell you not to. Especially when the reasoning is protecting heritage.
Honestly, he's lucky he didn't trip on the way down. Those stairs are steep.
Fuck yes. Doesn’t matter if you’re a German tourist in Mexico, an American tourist in Japan, or a Chinese tourist at an American buffet— respect the local etiquette if you are going to travel.
Hell yeah! When you're visiting another country, you are a guest in their country and should obey their laws and rules.
Good, now sacrifice him to whatever God they believe in
Lucky they didn’t get their heart cut out and show to them like in the good ol days
Good. Wish more locals in tourists hotspots would gang up on asshole tourists. Like Bali is infested with entitled westerners and asshole bogans. It’s the colonial mindset these tourists have.
The rise of the digital nomad is just soft colonialism with tech bros.
Colonialism is about extracting resources. Living in a low cost of living area on passive income attained globally is quite the opposite.
Is it, though? You aren't contributing anything to the local economy or culture while simultaneously stimulating gentrification...
How is buying local goods and services not contributing to the local economy? It's the same economic effect as tourism.
Of course they are contributing to the culture. Enriching it with their own culture as immigrants.
They are strengthening the indonesian rupiah by Selling other currencies for it. Then they are spending idr on the local economy.
A developed economy is more expensive to live in. Gentrification just means that the area gets developed. The people that can't stay there economically are people without education.
This can be solved however with policy. Policies that aim at social mobility like here in the EU.
Tax paid education.
Indonesia is a tax paradise, very attractive.
Very cheap labour. Very young population.
My brain can't comprehend their cost of living, so I always tipped the Uber drivers in Batam with 100k idr. They often wanted to decline, but it's like the normal price of transport where I'm from.
I see a lot of international companies there.
Their poverty rate has been in decline since the 80s.
Very friendly people in general too.
Globalism is the way, bruv
Colonialism is also about displacing native/local culture which is what a lot of these digital nomads are doing. One example I’ve seen are the digital nomads trying to stop locals from walking on the public beaches in front of their properties.
You're not a digital nomad if you own property though, or my definition of digital nomad is wrong
I suppose the ability to rent or lease property is much easier for digital nomads than the locals. I think the definition is mostly about people who have the ability to just kind of go anywhere as their income isn’t tied to the local economy.
But, I don’t know. Read this article and maybe it’ll make more sense:
https://www.vice.com/en/article/digital-nomads-work-from-home-gentrification/
So the Turks are colonising my country 🌝 wolf or whatever they keep saying
If it's a public beach then there's nothing they can do about it.
Just go there with the whole family and let Karen frown
I know a woman who is insanely entitled and is currently in Bali. I feel bad for the locals who have to experience her presence
How's Bali
I hear it’s infested with westerners and bogans.
No shit, it's the Paris of Indonesia. I mean, how is the place doing. During COVID they were struggling.
oh shit... i was there on that day! and i missed it...
I bet you'd have been able to see it from the top of that pyramid though.
Sounds like an episode of Always Sunny.
Good. That's what they get for being a jackass.
Not an American tourist this time
There's a weird moment where it's "Fuck, here we go aga... wait... it's not our fault this time?"
UN: "USA, NO!"
USA: "What? I'm right here."
UN: "Sorry, force of habit. GERMANY, NO!"

I wish more people got their asses kicked for violating historic places and things.
Or, really, any stupid shit when visiting somewhere. I'd have loved it if that "influencer" that yoinked that wombat got flogged in the public square like she deserved.
Remember how a bunch of pissants from LA were damaging and even killing Joshua trees? I do, the trees still hunger for profligate blood.
Hang on. What?! I have to look this up now.
Edit: I am so pissed now. Glad she's left.

It's great that we're enforcing laws that are there to protect our anthropological heritage. It's not so great that it means this violator is attacked by the locals.
As an aide, I feel like Mexico themselves have quite a ways to go to protect the heritage site. The grounds of Chichen Itzá are absolutely overrun with "tour guides" telling dumbed down or outright fabricated stories and literally hundreds of souvenir stands with obnoxious sellers that don't shy from any tactic to try to get your attention.
Walking around in that area should be serene, educational and immersive. Instead, it's like being in a kindergarten, where hordes of salespeople are incessantly calling out to you ("where are you from, sir, where are you from?"), literally throwing cheap Chinese junk in your direction, playing drums and pan flutes or squeezing squeaky toys and gimmicks that are meant to sound like monkeys. It's a cacophony of cheap garbage and harassment from locals (and nonstop clapping to hear the temple's acoustic effect) that takes you out of experiencing your surroundings in an inkling of tranquility. In fact, only from specific angles is it even possible to capture a photo of the Temple of Kukulcán without the brightly colored eye sores of a hundred nearly identical souvenir stands visible directly adjacent to it.
Mexico should also take more pride in this site and treat Chichen Itzá with more respect.
Virtue signaling BS. That motherfucker deserves his ass to be beaten to shit
Honestly wish he fell from the top
It's not so great that it means this violator is attacked by the locals.
It's not?

A German tourist
Sorry for not sending out best. I hope the guys wore socks in sandals at least to properly represent our national outfit.
Eh don't feel too bad, death valley will consume 10 of your countrymen by the closing of summer. Seriously there's running bets on my area about how many Germans will die and from what, safe bet is 5 from heatstroke.
