Merry Christmas.
I'm going to appeal it. I've never taken payment for any adult content, nor have I posted any, or made reference to any on my BuyMeACoffee page.
Yay puritanical capitalism!

I contacted customer support and made an appeal. They very quickly responded that I'm permanently suspended from the platform (and Stripe) because my *Mastodon* profile (@alice) associates me with @AltAfterDark.
So, that's that.

Watch BuyMeACoffee/Stripe send me a cease and desist for posting about them banning me.
Then watch Fedi Streisand Effect the shit out of that.
I'm sure they're already going to lose a (insignificant to them) chunk of money over this, because not only will they not be taking 10-20% of my tips, but whenever I call out a company here for being shitty, I get dozens of replies from folx canceling their accounts there.

@alice @AltAfterDark What the fuck, this is absolutely ridiculous. They're censoring you for your activity on a completely unrelated platform?

Banks have been pulling this kind of shit for years, refusing to open accounts for people doing stuff they don't like even if it's legal. Early on in medical cannabis legalisation, dispensaries couldn't take card payments or pay employees with normal payroll services, they had to do all their business with cash. Recently itch.io had to pull all adult content because payment processors (visa and mastercard) threatened to cut ties. This is just the next step. -
