Furries keep the Internet running. Fansly is going to experience a bunch of outages.

Sadly, Visa and MasterCard are well-established as the ones who get to decide what is and isn't acceptable online.

I really hate how all-powerful they are regarding internet payment

Excuse me, what? It’s tumblr all over again. Unless they’re ducking hardcore to woo advertisers or something.

My understanding from the reporting I've seen about that is that was being prompted by payment processors like Visa and MasterCard threatening to stop processing payments to them if they didn't remove sexual content. A little less stupid than Tumblr not understanding how much smut is on their site and trying to court advertisers.

It's probably a mention from 2021, when Onlyfans announced they'd remove adult content and "pivot to general market or some bullshit, which sparked the super expected response from the community. Unlike tumblr, OF realized they'd die out immediately, so they backed out mere days after, which was enough time for a number of people to realize that they couldn't trust OF and look for a different platform

Yeahhhh, there really needs to be fediverse software for things like that. That or comradery needs to start allowing payment for lewd content.
