Genuinely in awe at how quickly this has gone from a "a few of us are kinda pissy about this" to "we're a Real Org, with Increasingly More Funding, and Actual Official Applications". Anyway, we're looking for folks with marketing experience too. There'll be more, but this is the next one for now.

We're looking for dev volunteers as part of our Sand Witch Circle—experienced engineers who care about fast, efficient software and making the best of the Web as part of our mission to help online creative communities and fight censorship. Apply here:

Approximately 30% of all job postings are fake, with millions of ghost jobs making a tough hiring process even worse.

I remember years ago reading about an image recognition test where they tried to get a bot to distinguish dog breeds in pictures It kept seeing huskies in pictures even without dogs in them Turned out its training images always had huskies in the snow Its pattern recognition thought snow = huskies

Starbucks' CEO is paid $95.8 MILLION. The median worker at Starbucks makes $14,674 a year. Instead of recognizing its worker union, Starbucks writes off its union-busting expenses on its taxes. That's why Starbucks workers are striking today. I won't cross the picket line.

When I evacuated from the hurricane in 2005, the Red Cross offered us cash to help with expenses. The Salvation Army offered us "a hot meal" which was just a smoked sausage soaked in cheap barbecue sauce with a stale slice of white bread we had to say how thankful we were while getting preached at.

Where the devil did they find a newspaper? #webcomics

This is exactly what happened.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️ But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold. So take care of yourself. Your soul is beautiful.

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

we should do that

LRP "Ask yourself: why do corporations get a pass and indie creators get silenced when it's the exact same topics?" I think this every day, both about payment processor bullshit and policiing of fictional content

never let anyone tell you everyone was united in support of the Iraq War. I saw a guy on the news, on 9/11, on the street in NYC as the WTC burned behind him, telling the reporter "I just hope Bush doesn't start a war over this". We have literally always been here don't let people tell you otherwise

Now, I don't hate Donkey Kong Bananza, but I still don't understand the hype surrounding it why do people love this game? I had a pretty okay time with it. But, game of the year? What am I missing?

Regardless of the legitimacy of the original ban, it trickles out to everything it can. I'm not personally financially impacted by this, so I try not to complain, but I do hate these companies and it's despicable what they're doing to you and others. And anyone banned by paypal - get off venmo asap

Throwing my bit out there: I'm not a creator or business or anything, just a regular user. paypal banned me (still unsure why) and several months later so did venmo. I've never used venmo for anything but friends and family, but paypal bought them, so it must have transferred the ban by proxy.

We have words for this in English: Phrenology and eugenics It’s nazi shit

By the way; this is not only an example of banks and paypros targeting specific individuals who spread the truth- it's also an example of the end goal of Digital Identity. They want your ID online to access so they have an easier time of doing this to you.

My new Buy Me a Coffee account was suspended before my first payout was received, the site stating it is “required to deactivate accounts that contain or use adult content to generate revenue through Buy Me a Coffee” Adult content was never referenced on my page nor used as a motivator to tip

God this is so fucking messed up

To the best of my knowledge this is basically Mastercard Threat Intelligence and Recorded Future in a nutshell, and it’s easy to see how this could be used to discriminate based on numerous other qualities

This looks like a screenshot from a fighting game Patrick about to heavy kick Spongebob in the face

I hate when that happens

If the view numbers on my comic pages are anything to go off of, it would be Aubrey

Very specific complaint of mine: I hate videos/discussions about "what we missed out on" or "things we lost" when referring to early drafts of movies/shows/games No, we didn't lose out on anything! These aren't amazing things "we could have gotten"

Just a reminder to artsy folks, if ever you need something to draw for warmup, practice, fun, or whatever, you can always use my characters sfw or nsfw. I’m comfy with most things so long as it doesn’t promote hate :)

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.” “But we can open the box,” said Toad. “That is true,” said Frog.

A lot of people really aren’t getting it. In less than a year we’ve seen it leap from the *most* objectionable content that I’m not even really comfortable talking about here to far more innocuous stuff, they’re not going to arbitrarily decide to stop here

I'm usually not 1 to fearmonger but this should scare LITERALLY everybody. Institutions used ai to target and debank a person BY NAME over PERFECTLY LEGAL CONTENT. EVERYONE needs to join the fight, b/c it does not matter if your content is SFW, IF THEY DO NOT LIKE IT OR YOU, THEY WILL DEBANK YOU.

All that writing about Silksong & shit while the people you care about slowly get debanked and pushed off the internet. What are we doing man

Okay so I hope everyone and especially politicians see how this is fucking vile & downright mafia behaviour? That's why we need regulations, these companies are targeting the reporter that broke the news on their censorship & are now trying to cut her off from financial means. End this, period

Spoke w/ source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard. Says this is very targeted, shows AI from MTI is working as designed, and that while my lewdtubing content puts me at a higher fraud risk — my activism work has likely been flagged. Giantess voretuber categorization suggests AI scrape

This is why AI is so dangerous Financial institutions will use it to scrape the web to discriminate against you — yes, YOU — and debank you Today, it’s for being an adult VA Tomorrow, for being trans? Gay?

Banks should not have the ability to unilaterally deny funding to people who have committed no crime. It is bizarre that this is even an issue.

Every purchase I've made from Steam lately has been flagged with the "IS THIS YOU OR NOT??!!!" alert, as if I've never done this before :I

If I go out and buy booze and a gun the Paypros won’t bat an eye; but if I try to give money to a Vtuber for sexy ASMR suddenly they’re locking down my card and sending the SWAT team. I don’t like the banks deciding what I can or can’t do with my money. Fuck banks.

Yeah no. Fuck that. Won't be long before even wholesome creators can't get money because pay pros hate them for whatever reason. Don't think for one second you're safe from this kind of shit.

this shit is so fucked. use your imagination, if they can debank kinksters, then someone with enough money could persuade them to debank any marginal group for any reason. for twisted morality, to crush competition, to force creators to use one platform, etc.
