I think people saying itch should fight back is kind of interesting. Like what they gonna do? Steam would have been in the perfect position to fight back and they went down without fighting. Itch is a much smaller outfit than Steam, there is no way they could have pushed back in any way, hence their really hard move into just cutting out all sensitive content on their platform.
It’s still redics though, that payment processors just blanket assume any NSFW game is bad and not worth processing.
But er, also, Mastercard has a non-disparagement clause in their contracts (§5.12.18) that forbids merchants from saying anything bad, or they’ll sue. So that is primarily why Valve and Itch haven’t pushed back either, it would make things way worse for them financially

icedquinn@blob.cathell entire populist revolts have been fought to shove out creditors. they failed.
to say mastercard is a hard target is putting it lightly.

@icedquinn yeah I was speaking in a conditional. Obviously they wouldn’t have been in a position to push back as much as itch, but you can see that they had a slightly less of a response to their overall library in comparison to itch

icedquinn@blob.catthey said they didn't care if he talked about dajooz and jesus but first order of business was he was no longer to support bitcoin.
cutting finance is running directly in to the heart of the machine and they are not in the slightest bit amused by the attempts

i think porkbun and some accept it, but they do it through crap like coinbase that auto-converts it to USD for them and thus defeats the whole point.

nicholas@aklp.clubOh man I totally forgot about that. I watched a documentary about guys who messed up their lives on crypto. One guy's wife left him and took their kids when he put their life savings in doge, but he got out at the top and made bank. At the end of the show he took it all and put it in libracoin..... I hope he's okay.

mrsaturday@shitposter.worldI agree with @sun that USDT/USDC would be just fine for this, at least until Congress gets off its ass and starts mandating credit card companies stop. Supposedly there's a bill, but it's stalled in committee.

mrsaturday@shitposter.worldStill, it's difficult to get in the US and unfortunately people aren't going to want to jump through a bunch of crypto hoops when their bank card is 19 numbers away. I think they should learn, but you know how it is.

xianc78@gameliberty.club@mrsaturday @nicholas @icedquinn @Ree @sun Supposedly, Zano is even more private that Monero (not even the amount of money sent is publically viewable), but I haven't tried it.

xianc78@gameliberty.club@mrsaturday @nicholas @icedquinn @Ree @sun It's new so there probably aren't that many vendors selling it right now, legal or not.
