I really really don't think I can do this site anymore; the Twitter-esque format seems to always be a glue trap for my tendency to doomscroll, and it's been drastically spiking my anxiety.

remember: they don't want to ban porn for themselves, just tax-paying adults. they'll continue saying "protect children from vulgarity" to justify and conceal their raping and pillaging until they're stopped.

They think we don't have time for this shit. Yet they're the ones who took away all our work, meaning we have all the time. Call your reps.

UK folks you need to pound the f*cking doors of your parliament reps if this nasty thing gets to them. This MUST BE the line. It is the right to a public existence- INCLUDING for people who aren't trans. Imagine having to carry your birth certificate on you at all times to take a piss. Full fascism.

This means Mastercard in particular is actively afraid of people bringing up Riot's connection to them negatively. I think people should raid Riot's official livestreams and start spamming things like: "#SaveSpeech from Mastercard!" "MASTERCARD HATES THIS --> (.)(.)" "#stopkillinggames" and more

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. Evangelical Censorship is death to progress

It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement. The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

If you have ever wanted to yell directly at a Mastercard CEO: do it!! do it NOW

Holy crap! There's an ACTUAL NUMBER for PayPal in this! PayPal is NOTORIOUS for never giving out numbers!!! This is pure gold!

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Still trying to find a roomie, hmu!

#SaveSpeech Remember, if youre american, contact your reps and urge them not to support KOSA and the SCREEN act! Unlike Pay-pros, you dont need to waste time. All they NEED is to know is that you dont support it. Heres some talking points if desired tho: www.congress.gov/members/find...

It’s good to remember there are still people out there doing the right thing.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms? If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on: 1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player. 2. Click "Report Playback Issue". 3. Select this option. Hopefully this will work!

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵 how to call: stop-paypros.neocities.org info and resources on pay discrimination: cartoonist.coop/censorship-p...

With ongoing pressure campaigns, not everyone can push 100% all the time If you and maybe a friend or two can jump in "late"? You give people a chance to recharge their batteries, so they can take over again once you need to recharge yours Its a marathon, not a race

Finished the first Devil May Cry game and I think I can say it's probably a new favorite series if I end up REALLY fucking with DMC3 and the later titles.

Proof that bullying people for using AI works and we should bully them as hard as possible.

it's funny watching people redevelop Marxism from first principles over and over again but good on y'all I suppose

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

Hey, it would mean so much to me if y'all kept up the pressure with phone calls to payment processors to show to them how much people care and that they can't just ignore it—my livelihood depends on adult games not being censored! You can find info and phone scripts here: stop-paypros.neocities.org

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act. If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification. Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is. Spread this pls. Link: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... #screenact #badinternetbills #stopkosa

#SaveSpeech its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well! PHASE 2: START MAILING PHYSICAL LETTERS imgur: imgur.com/a/3pVupWQ more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money

It really is now or never. Both paypros and government are making the big push to effectively kill the internet. We might be talking about porn now but porn is step one in a process that moves blindingly fast

Another week begins! If you want to help adult and LGBTQ+ creators, AND help yourself stay safe from having big companies decide what you can or cannot purchase online with your money, call your payment processors again. Daily if possible! 📞☎️

Remember if you're calling, a good way to 'refresh' the bit is to act like you just heard about this issue from this article.

All three Canadians out here with me, don't let them win a fucking inch of ground.

I just read an article that Mastercard is denying any involvement in the Collective Shout censorship issue. Since they were named by both Steam and Itchio, I'm taking this defensive posturing as a good sign. KEEP CALLING MASTERCARD, VISA, PAYPAL AND STRIPE UNTIL THEY BUCKLE! No censorship!

I sometimes get reminded that Dane Boe came out as trans woman a while back, and seeing someone I grew up with that inspired me to start making shit also have that realization makes me hella happy.

Can confirm this works, the rep was kept insisting "there was adult content," I kept repeating "but the statement form mastercard says 'illegal,' adult content is not illegal," and I got him to agree that yes, he has seen no evidence any illegal transactions happened.

Great work by PC Gamer showing MasterCard shares much responsibility for what happened to Steam www.pcgamer.com/games/master...

incredibly happy to see Valve being this terse and no nosense about this the calls and emails are WORKING and this is 100% the sign to keep at it

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-. Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure. Keep it up

Stripe, Visa and Mastercard have all made some kind of public statement within the last 24 hours about the #SaveSpeech backlash. While theyre continuing to dig in their heels, a response is MEANINGFUL PROGRESS. it means we are having an effect. yall are doing great. keep up the energy! Call! Mail!

Heyyyyyy so like. My birthday is in a week from today. So uhhhh it'd be so awesome haha

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️

So while Stripe and PayPal should keep getting calls, Stripe has said that their banking partners are giving them issues. Who are they? • Fifth Third Bank (!!) • Evolve Bank (!!) • Goldman Sachs • Citibank • Barclays (UK) Sources: techcrunch.com/2020/12/03/s... stripe.com/treasury Keep calling.

This doesn’t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is we’ll stop calling. Don’t stop calling.

HAPPY THURSDAY DONT FORGET TO

LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR MASTERCARD’S CEO STEP 1: CALL +1 914 249 2000 STEP 2: TYPE 0 STEP 3: TYPE 6432224# STEP 4: TYPE 1 Congratulations, and have fun calling the executive who matters most in this Steam / itchio censorship situation

— YOU CAN CALL IN PROTEST #STOPCensoringGames #VISA #MasterCard spread the message !!
