Tell Mastercard and Visa about this. When you call tell them you're going to petition your bank to switch. Doesn't matter how much you think they would. It happened.
Funny story: my bank recently sent out an emergency notification letter, which stated they were sending me a new debit card, because they had changed vendors. The old card was a MasterCard. The new one arrived - it’s Discover.

Looks like even banks are noping out of MasterCard’s madness.
MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

The reze arc movie was so stunning i have no words. The score was incredible, the animation was gorgeous, and reze’s jp va is perfect casting it feels like it’s a once in a decade type movie but maybe that’s just recency bias

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

You know what to do: www.stopkosa.com

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

Bluesky has enough moderation tools to curate our feed in case we don't want to see nsfw stuff and the new rules are too vague about adult content. Please speak up! A lot of us depend on social media to make a living and they're making a hell to promote fictional adult works 😩
