Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

Welcome to the weekend! You made it sailor. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first? Thanks to my moot @dieselbrain.bsky.social for the Stripe number, can confirm it works

Unfortunately, PayPal doesn't have any e-mail address, as it uses its website's customer support. You will need to log in to your PayPal account if you wish to access Customer Support lines or messages. Here's a few lines we found so far :
• 1-402-935-2050 (US + Canada)

the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is.
however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message:
(877) 887-7815

To be 100% clear on this:

Emails cost them nothing. They can delete them, ignore them, forget they exist, whatever.

But there is a dollar cost associated with every single customer service call. That's why most phone trees are over-automated these days. Calling messes up the C/S team goals.

LMAO I called Visa’s customer support service - the guy on the other line was like “are you ALSO calling about the video game payment processing? Please send us emails instead.”

Keep up the calls, folks, we’re definitely gumming up their works

Void🔞 | VGen @voiddebris.bsky.social · Jul 24

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

↻💬♡ to boost

We CAN make a difference 💕

This is so fucking depressing. With each year, a major platform is hit with more censorship of adult content (Gumroad, Patreon, Etsy, and now Itchio).

If you want to help fight back, please consider signing the ACLU petition here:

if you've been watching the community defenses against ICE and thinking, "i support my comrades but i don't feel comfortable being on the ~front lines~" please know there are many other ways to support! you can drop off a case of water and snacks, buy medical supplies, donate to jail support, etc

Transphobes, homophobes and racists will try to gaslight you with the same narrative: that they are being reasonable saying minority groups deserve less of shouldn’t exist outright, but in the same breath, swear that they’re the victim.

There is no such thing as good faith in pure hate.

I don't know if there's a word or term to describe the sets of shows like Pee-Wee's Playhouse, MST3K, The Weird Al Show, Beakman's World, etc. but I am a very big fan of whatever you'd call that.

LEFTIST: Dude, you need to grow up and get a hobby. Start treating women like people and find a useful role in society.
RIGHT WING INFLUENCER: You’re a pussy. You’re a beta cuck. You’re poor because of the soy in your blood. Suck my dick, simp.

Wokeness has not been destroyed, it has merely gone underground. Every weekend my comrades and I get together in a secret location and say pronouns to each other
