This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

This is absolutely BRILLIANT

They didn't listen to our feedback, now we need to ESCALATE

Bsky is at 3.4⭐ - let's see how quick we can tank that!

Don't know what to write?

Copy/paste mine or use it as a starting point!

#SaveSpeech #BskyCensorship

Screenshot of bluesky in the play store at 3.4 stars and 47k reviews.

Bluesky claimed to want to decentralize social media, and then came out with a massive community guidelines update imposing sweeping restrictions to free speech

If I could give negative stars I would, these changes need to be repealed and they need to refocus on user facilitated moderation tools

Bsky's new TOS says it alone has the power to determine whether a fictional drawing shows consent

Demand that they REPEAL this harmful and misguided rule and to give us tools to protect creative freedom instead!

Post your porn with the tag #bskycensorship

Demand bsky listen to its users

The scammers can copy your voice and call your grandma and scam thousands of dollars outta her cuz they're speaking with your voice when they tell her they need money for the fake hospital.

Everything actually important arrives by snail mail or an email telling you to check an account you have.

CAMERON WILSON @cameronwilson.bsky.social · 16d

my most unpopular opinion is that it's a sign of defective moral character if you point blank refuse to answer phone calls from unknown numbers. it's not that hard to hang up on spam/scammers, and you are probably missing important calls!

The idea that a work of fiction MUST "condemn" all evil on screen comes from the Hays Code. They famously used this stipulation to censor all queer art for decades.

Stop trying to recreate the gay censorship code but woke.

This is praxis, I’m so serious. Politely wasting as much time as physically possible. Rage doesn’t work. Wasting their money complaining does. This thread contains a GREAT script for being a confused but polite menace, talking point by talking point

A.L. Goldfuss @ghoulpus.bsky.social · Jul 26

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

Leaf mentioned in the official itch discord server that the open case they have with Stripe right now is probably the most critical right now. Submit a complaint to Stripe here: stripe.com/legal/compla...

I got through to Mastercard and the supervisor I spoke to said they're actually aware of this, they've received multiple calls and it's been escalated to their global HQ and they're awaiting a response. KEEP CALLING!!

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying!

Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups.

stop-paypros.neocities.org

Cartoon monster lady, Sue, in a "Don't Stop Calling T-shirt, pointing at a personification of "puritan activist groups" looming over a personification of "payment processor"

Sue's Dialogue: YOOHOO! These motherfuckers think they can pick and choose what you do with your own money. You wouldn't let them do that, would you?

People have asked for it….another print set for an upcoming con. I wanna do Sam as well, but I’m not sure who should be the other character facing him 🤔

Artists and small business owners who use Stripe- there's a new "AI" feature for payment disputes, it's auto-enabled and will charge a 30% fee if you win a dispute using it. You might want to turn this off. I personally don't trust a slop feature to handle disputes for me either.
