actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

The bad news keep coming These go into effect Oct 15th

Tori milking you with her milkers!!!

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

They're trying real hard to gain mass control over what we're allowed to say and do online, regardless of it being lawful free speech or expression. Call your reps y'all. It's worked before and can work again. We CAN beat this, but only if we rally together. www.house.gov/representati...

Don’t stop calling stop-paypros.neocities.org

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

i dont know how else to drill it into people's heads but you are going to see this happen to more and more creators until there's no one left, or at least until the infrastructure that allowed us all to share our work as a community and create careers out of it is completely gone you have to act

more of *her*

I remembered I have acrylic markers

WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT AND PAYMENT PROCESSORS STILL AREN'T BACKING DOWN. WE HAVE NOT WON YET.

"Mysterious disappearance" Seikret lost her hunter somewhere, would you help her search?

ICYMI: This is one petition Canadians do NOT want to miss. This is not your average Change-dot-org petition. This is the kind that could lead to serious changes against paypro censorship www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

They went from banning porn to full blown authoritarian overwatching over everything. Just like we said they would :)

Canadians, this is a parliamentary petition, not a random online thing. Takes a minute to sign. An easy good deed for the day.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

This sums up this payment NSFW fiasco pretty well.

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with! All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers. In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

We need to seriously ramp up pressure. Porn bans are coming, if not officially, then at least in effect. We need to start moving things in the opposite direction. Stories like this provide more ammo to use when talking to representatives.

If you're in the UK, ask why an American company is able to cut you off for legal purchases. If you're in the US, raise hell with your representatives too. This is a dangerous escalation that has me worried, and is also extremely valuable ammo for getting press/congress to focus on the story again.

For political representatives and news organizations the goal is different - it's to be persuasive, the whole thing is less antagonistic. You can call them, physically write to them, or email them - the goal is to build political pressure (which will really scare Paypal) and to get news coverage.

News coverage is something that I don't see talked about very often, but is very important for building awareness. "Payment processors ban *customers* for what they buy" is a much bigger story and is a GREAT opportunity for us. But news sites won't cover it if it's not brought to their attention.

This fight is winnable. The extreme backlash from companies like Paypal is wild, but it's also them overplaying their hand, and it's proof that they are genuinely mad at us. They know how we're protesting, and they hate it. That makes it a good protest. So if they ramp up the pressure, we do to.

Bird meat

#SaveSpeech Bill SB-20 is texas bill poised to be a massive overreach by the govt, potentially putting swaths of legitimate art at risk of being criminalized. Please. Help to demand it be repealed by signing this petition.

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

How do animators not get their wrists fucked up from... Animating. This one loop is making my hand feel like it's gonna fall apart any minute.

LRT: There is no kind of furry that The Enemy will accept. There is no amount of kink The Enemy will accept There is no amount of queerness The Enemy will accept. However much we try to appear "respectable", try to sweep the "undesirables" under the rug, The Enemy will still deem us worthy of death.

Two-seater, you can also ride him on the front !!

"l-like this? i-is it really t-that big? ;;;;;" you asked the dad to lean forward with his chest out.. you were not expecting the sight..

You have to defend the right for art and media to be "sexually gratifying" You have to defend "gratification" You have to defend the right for people to get off nasty style You need to be more disgusted with people who want to say what people can do with their own time and money than x or y kink

CONGRATS SOLDIER, we've hit 2 weeks of solid #SaveSpeech pressure! Youre doing a great job! Reward yourself! And keep on calling/mailing! stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money www.congress.gov/members/find...

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

Hey furries: all that work that's been done to pressure payment processors not to ban NSFW and queer media will be for nothing if any of these bills pass. I know democracy is dead in the US but we have a duty to try anyway. Peep the linked post for info about what you can do to help.
