This is ultimately why a lot of content creators stay on Twitter. Viral on Twitter vs viral on Bluesky. Pound for pound, engagement is easier on Bluesky, but the reach on Twitter is huge. I’ll update this thread in a day

You tried 11. Just go in branch across every bank you can find, and check their response.

I've tried a whole handful more. I think it was 36+ at the last count, but l've left my folder at my accountant's today so I'm trying to remember a list off the top of my head.
I was hoping somebody on here could signpost

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"
"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."
"Can we see the store page?"

Rejected by HSBC too. Sorry, I really should update the original post to include all the ones people suggest.
I've basically asked every major high street bank from Halifax to RBS to Lloyds TSB; AND every major phone banking app like Revolut/Monzo etc.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Let's remind of the Discord Incident that happened a day ago where over 70,000 User's were Hacked and their ID'S were doxxed and the Hacker threatened to release and Sell their ID'S which would cause harm to the User's, because they needed ID to Verify themselves.

I want to remind people that when there is a call to action to "contact your reps", it needs to be more than once

Going forward, contacting your reps needs to become part of your routine, at the very least during the work week.

Sustained pressure over time is what matters!

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

and hey on the topic of ID laws

do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord?

these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps
