The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

Using my voice as a creator to put out a small PSA on how to disable the new feedback feature on our favorite overly-nosey payment processor.

Reminder to never comm details on payment websites, and to never directly link your payment pages to your NSFW work.

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

Anyway, these policies and guidelines are following pay processors demands 'cause we know BlueSky will need to implement sources of income sooner than later, and they're bending the knee to Visa and Mastercard to comply.
So keep pressuring paypros!

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

Germany has, unfortunately, reversed its position back to undecided.

folks in the EU, but GERMANS ESPECIALLY, need to call your MEPs about Chat Control and urge them to oppose this proposal!

find your MEP below and yell at them!

Oh, hey.

Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy".

Let that sink in.

Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.
Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

Bill SB-20 is texas bill poised to be a massive overreach by the govt, potentially putting swaths of legitimate art at risk of being criminalized.

Please. Help to demand it be repealed by signing this petition.

It's not over. Steam isn't allowing games with 'mature themes' in Early Access. Call, email, letter PayPal, Stripe, Mastercard, and Visa. Do your dailies.
Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes”

This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it.

Don't stop calling.

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

The feedback due date is tomorrow, so if you haven't filled this out yet, give it a look.
the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content.

bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory
