and don't even get me started on how all this "fictional crime depiction = real crime approval" is not even a slippery slope it's a fullon water slide straight into the "Thoughtcrime" pool

imagine painting a burning house and getting charged with arson

it's fucking tiring

regarding all the new TOS bs down here (and there) i just wanna ask if we, as conscious adults, can have at least one place made by adults for adults, where we can consciously decide and moderate stuff we wanna see, for ourselves, as adults should?

also yeah

WHY? Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3. STRIPE: (Headquarters): +118881 963-8955 (France): +33 805-11-19-67 Stripe: complaints@stripe.com 4. PAYPAL: (US): +1 (888)-221-1161 (outside US): 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116 TRY TO HIT ALL 4 TARGETS PER DAY This is only going to have an effect if as many people possible call EVERY DAY for as long as possible. THIS IS A MARATHON, NOT A RACE. If you can, it is also a good idea to try to spread the word to organizations and groups that can either actively combat these huge companies legally, or can spread news, in a manner supportive of this movement, more effectively than your average person. example of orgs: ACLU CCLA govt representatives exanple of spreading the news: newspapers special interest pubs streamers

Currently on the phone with Visa

Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use

The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch

YIKES!!!!!! thank you for sharing this wlswarts!

copying this from the tumblr post for reference
aerialworms That is awful! If you're looking for a gdocs-like replacement, Ellipsus @ellipsus-writes is an explicitly queer friendly, anti-AI equivalent with online syncing and sharing - I've been using it for almost a year now as a replacement for gdocs and absolutely love it. They are pro-fanfic, so much so that they have a dedicated "export to Ao3" option that preserves all your formatting. They don't have an app (yet) but you can add it to your home screen via your mobile browser if you want.

Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.
It’s almost impossible to come up with an exhaustive list of unacceptable products to sell, so often we have to take content reviews one at a time. If an issue arises with your account that isn’t already covered by our policy, then we will contact you and share what options you may have. If you've collected money while in violation of terms, we may be forced to refund or freeze all pending transactions, as accounts that are in violation of our terms are not eligible for payouts.

one option for backing up the entirety of your google drive, open gdrive in your browser, navigate to "My Drive" on the left, select all files/folders (CTRL+A), and click the download icon.

depending on the number of files, it may take a bit to zip everything together.

You know lads, I have to truly say: of all the possible forms of pornography, going after the one that doesn't even involve real people really does put an end to the idea that anti-porn crusades are ever about protecting women

it is utterly deranged that we live in a world where something can be legal to buy and yet you are not allowed to buy it because the piece of plastic you use to buy stuff with is owned by jesus freaks. any sensible democracy would have nipped that shit in the bud half a century ago

🌊 What remains of us in the deeps

Little birthday gift for @aichan92.bsky.social of their OCs Yuu and WooJi because we love to suffer

WooJi and Yuu sitting inside an aquarium tunnel. WooJi leans his head to Yuu’s shoulder, who is looking to the fishes on top of them. There’s an aura of nostalgia around, unspoken words.

It's time to weigh anchor, because One Particular Harbor is today's free #ttrpg!
OPH is a Firebrands hack about Pirates, a Royal Navy, and Merfolk making messy entanglements as they battle for control of a chain of islands.
