Yurinating on everything

stop payment processors from censorship by calling them and expressing your distaste & discontent with their restrictions on not only adult content but also queer art - show proof of call and peg or get pegged by a big buff woman (more information and links in replies!) #SaveSpeech

So, obviously the whole Itchio / Visa / Mastercard thing is very bad, and I see a lot of calling campaigns kicking off, so I tried to put together a list of things that can move the needle at a call center. Do with this info what you will.

So, WFM guy here, I crunch call center numbers all day and advise management on performance and staffing requirements. Here are some concrete goals to keep in mind with any sort of calling campaign: 🧵

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 💕 #itch #censorship 1/🧵

PLEASE SIGN! Steam just updated their TOS due to payment processors' pressue to remove content that "violates terms". Visa and Mastercard are targeting adult content again. Patreon's stringent rules around 18+ work exist bc of them and onlyfans was pressured too (along with many others). Push back.

Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word. action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs
