It really boggles the mind why we have to go through private corporations to use our monetary system in the digital realm

If we had to use private corporations then there needs to be enough competition to prevent what is happening now.

I have seen it mentioned quite a few times on websites. Can you actually pay normal shops using that?

Make it. I will be there.

Also, Please play "Ripples" even if you don't like Lewd Game. It's story is so good that the Lewd Scene just feels like reward

Edit: Forgot to say but it's completely free

Could be great links to share over Riot Games streams.

• MasterCard has asked Riot to keep an eye out for negative sentiments on official Riot streams
• Riot has asked esports content creators working with official Riot properties to watch out for any negative sentiments toward MasterCard
• Moderators have been told to look out for any unusual activity around the MasterCard issue

No better publicity than getting their own efforts thrown back at their faces.

MasterCard is running an effective PR campaign against themselves.
They can't stop giving their critics all this gold.

Did you mean "make it"? If you made it already, link the community!

I don't log into my Lemmynsfw account much these days. But I know that a lot of "copy" subreddits were made in the days after the API shutoff. So it very well could be a community already but I'm too lazy to look.

If it was about money, MasterVisa would have already given up. There are people who claim that MasterVisa bent the knee to Collective Shout for the sake of money, yet when a much bigger demographic speaks, MasterVisa tries to ignore it.

This is about the power to shape society.

Megacorp be megacorping.

We should always fight giants like this.

And think to not feed them indirectly.

(Not to mention that such basic infrastructure should never be for-profit.)

FedNow became a thing just two years ago. With transaction fees of just $0.043/transaction, it's cheaper than every other payment processor out there. Hopefully it can gain adoption and push out Visa/Mastercard.

Ahh sorry typo. Can you suggest any instance for the LewdGame?

If I make one it will likely be on lemmynsfw.com. I doubt that there is an instance specifically for porn games though.

God, imagine thanking a fucking corporation lmao

Man wtf can we DO about this shit? I'm planning on calling and shit but damn they don't give a fuck.

Is it too late??

Do you have to have assloads of money to file a class action suit? Like would steam or GOG or itch be down to be a part of it or is that just a pipe dream.

I am not promoting it, but I will say that this is the exact reason shit like cryptocurrency exists. Stupid overreaching shit like this.

Yeah, Stripe is the reason itch.io had to pull all paid NSFW games.

However, it isn't exactly their fault, either:

We spoke with Stripe yesterday about their content policies. They confirmed that they will not be able to support adult content that fits the following definition: “content designed for sexual gratification.” Stripe asked us to pass along the following message to our users:

"Stripe is currently unable to support sexually explicit content due to restrictions placed on them by their banking partners, despite card networks generally supporting adult content (with the appropriate registrations). Stripe has indicated that they hope to be able to support adult content in the future."

In the Itch.io incident, Stripe laid the blame for that on “banking partner” rules, claiming they were looking for ways to fix it.

As much as everyone here hates it literally the only way to ever do that is cryptocurrency unless you receive precious metals in the mail.

I wish they weren't a duopoly. There isn't really any other options even if they would be better, just because of the marketshare hold they have.

I'm super pro crypto but it isn't a magic bullet. The companies being restricted are victims of a monopoly who will retaliate if they try alternatives. It's the same reason NFTs haven't killed Ticketmaster.

I wonder what incentive these companies have to force censorship… hmmmm.
