I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.
We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin
Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content!

the way jack dorsey can jingle his keys at millennials and have them come running, don't trust this "new vine" shit lol
Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.

Link's banning is the tip of the iceberg of systematic issues that have been present since the beginning of Bluesky. You may not remember Black users leaving en masse because devs were ok with slurs in usernames but I do.
Bluesky has a serious problem that's never been dealt with. It's time.

I've said this before, will say it again:
The CEO of this place got her career started in the technofascist crypto space, so the idea that she was some leftist progressive stalwart has always been a bunch of horseshit.
She is literally -one- of them and always has been.

Trying to measure all the prints I have to frame the instead of just thumbtacking them to my wall but I’m realizing why younger me did it that way; out of the 24 prints I’ve measured so far, which is only a quarter of the way through the stack, there are 17 different sizes.

Now that these folks have proven beyond a doubt that they can win on such “controversial” positions like Trans rights, it’s going to be incumbent on all of us to stay the fucking course and keep establishment Dems on their heels for the foreseeable future.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

Remind me to post some of my pieces I’ve scanned when I get on my computer tomorrow and also my 2 pieces that I had submitted to my county’s art show (where one won a blue ribbon). I keep forgetting to post art here. 😅

A poor gay middle schooler whose library offered a place of refuge where they could learn and see themselves disappearing because of hate driven ideologues getting their way and banning books absolutely has a real impact.
To claim no one is affected is ignorance at best.

No, I fully understand the entire dynamic here, I'm more left wondering what each side thinks is happening on either side of this front.
It's a performative war that has no actual effect. Banning needs to be answered by our side, but it's interesting that nobody is actually *affected*

I’m gonna be so real; the only places I accidentally saw nsfw as a kid was on Google Images with safe search on. Most of the time I already knew I was in an adult space, such as an 18+ art blog that warned minors not to interact, and just simply didn’t care or actively wanted to see it.

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point

Incredibly disappointing. All this will do is make this an extremely hostile home to anyone trying to post any sort of nsfw material. Such loose, unrealistic, and frankly, impossible-to-define guidelines for what looks consensual will result in false pings for non-con constantly.

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov
all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week
a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again
it hamstrings the cause
