I'm looking at my to-do list for next week and it includes the annoying Elavon fix (their support basically told me to do it myself)

So, in between drawing tits right now I'm looking at other processors.

Anyone know anything about Curo? @zkat ? @feff (You're the first two I think of when talking processors, sorry! 😂)

Techdirt Podcast Episode 448: Transaction Denied

Found out through @kradeelav.com on Tumblr:

SubscribeStar news, as they've updated their TOS: https://subscribestar.adult/prohibited_content#content-review-and-pre-screening

To quote someone I just read: "seems more stringent than Patreon itself" (and SubStar was famously an alternative to Patreon, so...now I guess it's nothing but Patreon anymore. Yay.)

Here's a breakdown thread by Ana Valens: https://bsky.app/profile/acvalens.com/post/3mgqrdolvx22y

3D Asset Marketplace Jinxxy Bans Adult Content:

"These new guidelines stand out as being especially strict; banning the depiction and description of mere sex toys, for example, goes beyond what many other stores had to ban."

Such a move by #stripe could expand usefulness for people presently unable to use it without increasing costs (like me)... but i don't think that is what they will do if they acquire #PayPal.

I have a real distaste for platforms that use stripe. They leave a lot of the world out.

Very odd 'paywall' for many in the world that don't have the access.

Not sure I see it as much of a solution, trading a foreign gatekeeper for a domestic one
