Writer, artist, Star Wars fan, prolific reader. I never do well with these things, but let's have-at! Eternal The Blackout Club fan, and co-GM of a FATE-based TTRPG centered around Deep Structures.
I like ttrpgs, FFXIV, Star Wars, Sailor Moon and more!

Funnily enough, tumblr is... getting there. The communities are a lot like the old LJ communities, and starting to get more interaction capabilities. So there's... something coming back.
the 'clubs' they mentioned are a thing that just does NOT exist anymore. I honestly think that's the biggest hole
like, clubs, or lj comms, or single-interest forums just do not exist. Today you toss fanart/discussion onto an open sea and pray other fans will see it and engage, and if not, too bad

tl;dr - the reason why pro-censorship groups, notably Collective Shout, have influence over the payment processors is because they’re backed by a lobbying group called GOSRN (the Global Online Safety Regulators Network)
if you’re looking at the PP censor situation, you might want to look into this.

They told me they're getting a lot of complaints about this when I called, tried to push me to do an e-mail. Politely told them I would prefer to leave my complaint by phone and they took it. Easy. If you're calling Visa, hit 0 and lead by saying you'd like to file a complaint.
DON'T STOP CALLING.
email them if you want, sure, but the fact that they are requesting people to *email them instead* (presumably because emails are much easier to ignore) means that the calls are WORKING, i.e. becoming a massive nuisance and interrupting workflow.
once again, DON'T STOP CALLING.
