Rules:

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.

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.

Summary

Tuvalu, a Pacific Island nation threatened by rising sea levels, is creating a “digital twin” to preserve its culture, heritage, and sovereignty.

Using advanced technology like 3D mapping and blockchain, the project aims to digitally replicate the islands, infrastructure, and even personal stories.

The initiative, part of Tuvalu’s “Future Now” plan, also includes digital passports to maintain state functions if physical territory is lost.

While some view the plan as impractical or symbolic, others see it as a vital adaptation to climate change, complementing efforts to physically protect the islands.
