VISA and MASTERCARD are now refusing all calls related to their policy changes. So call up as a concerned shareholder, prepared to short-sell their shares to reduce financial harm and loss to their portfolios.

They're trying to ignore us. Don't let them.

"As a shareholder, I am gravely concerned with the financial irresponsibility of cutting off a legal stream of revenue based on the actions of one small group of activists. If action is not taken to remedy this, I may be forced to sell my shares while they still have value."

if you call and they hang up on you, call back and immediately say you want to escalate to a supervisor because you were just hung up on. you don't even need to say any other details, just that you were hung up on and need to escalate

SITREP from 4Chan /v/ Re: Collective Shout.

Visa and Mastercard are taking on substantial damage to their sales quots and support times for this. Don't stop calling.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

We got like way more people than that don't we?

Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · Jul 24

ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.

are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

sent an email to [email protected], strongly suggest other writers, artists, game devs, etc. who give a shit do similarly

Email to support@itch.io, subject line "De-indexing of NSFW and adult work." Email content is too long for alt text, so slightly edited for character limit:

Given recent rumours of the delisting and deindexing of adult work across all of itch.io, I wish to ask if these rumours are true (and a binary yes/no answer would be preferred to the question 'Is concealing NSFW and adult work from search and indexes now a policy of itch.io?') and voice my strong opposition to this for a multitude of reasons if it is.

1) "Adult" and "NSFW" are often used to discuss queerness, as queerness almost inherently brushes against topics of sexuality, bodies, and human desire. There are ways to create content about queerness which ARE 'safe for work,' however--

2) There are ongoing campaigns to cast all forms of queer life as sexualized and perverse, not fit for consumption by decent people, and so on. Itch.io risks legitimizing these attitudes by suddenly deplatforming immense amounts of queer art, and thus

3) the de-indexing of adult work will inevitably disproportionately impact already precarious queer artists and writers and game-developers who have trusted itch.io and promoted it as a safe, accepting, place for art that the mainstream may reject. This is a betrayal of thousands of members of your artistic community who have put faith in your website and organization that will inevitably crater the reputation and user base of itch.io.

If this is not the new policy, then I hope whatever technical error occured is resolved. If this is the new policy, I hope you will backtrack. If you will not backtrack, then I will be joining the exodus of writers, artists, game devs, and other creatives who once trusted you as we search for a place where queer art may be, for a time, safe.

Got a busy busy weekend so might not get another one in for a couple days so I thought you boys deserved a double dose of Orc

These beauties belong to @squippit.bsky.social & @4giogio4.bsky.social

from my experience, feelings of inadequacy fades with exposure. If it's something you don't feel confident in then i recommend sharing it with friends and gathering feedback from them. after that, make something more. It won't be immediate but those feelings will disapear over time.
