When logging into lemmy.world the banner now says “Israel - ni**a style” (full word unredacted) and it starts linking to lemon party and a bunch of other NSFW sites.

    So they don’t accept payment in RMB over AliPay or Wechat is what you’re saying?

    What. A. Surprise.

    Credit cards are incredibly unpopular here: I’ve literally not seen one in use that wasn’t by a tourist in a tourist-oriented shop in 20 years. “Debit card” is so vague it’s almost charming. Paypal isn’t easily available as an option in most of the world. (I, for example, to use Paypal, would have to jump through incredibly time-consuming and expensive hoops to use its ‘letter of credit’ option.) I don’t know what “ACH” is, but I can pretty much guarantee that I can’t pay from my bank account given the currency export restrictions, etc. etc. etc. etc.

    So again: today’s lesson was “the world is not the USA and vice versa”.
