Explain to me how punishing a bunch of unrelated businesses helps the movement? There has to be a way that doesn't have as much collateral damage.

Explain how Etsy will get the message if you continue to shop with them and give them the only thing they care about - money? Venders need to complain too.

Sure, block and report those accounts to Etsy reducing traction and potential pushing of those accounts. Contact Etsy directly to try and bully them into removing those sellers. Try to find seller personal websites to purchase directly through them. Just trying to reduce collateral damage here.

There is not a way to block a seller This is a moral issue I will not patronize a site that provides access to hateful or fascist merch

I have reported, I have contacted Etsy,sent a message to a seller only to get a threatening email from Etsy. These places only care for profit. They don't even conform w their old identity which is handmade items since 80% of their crap is dropshipped merch from China. $ is their language.

That's good, we all need to do that in mass. Still got that e-mail? Yeah that's true. The amount of A.I. filling that site is pretty disgusting. I still don't like that idea of punshing small businesses because they happened to be on the site when they made a fucking terrible decision.

I like the idea of buying from the seller if they have a personal site. I don't like innocent sellers being harmed but sometimes you have to have some inconvenience for the sake of decency. This is the email.

I could understand if my message to the seller was violent, etc but I said: (their shop name was Red White and Faith) 'How does selling concentration camp merchandise mesh with your faith?' My guess is the seller reported me. Lame. 😆

They probably did. Shit, blue sky is modular anyone make up an independent sellers page yet? Could be a solution to get actual people off Etsy.

That would be great. I wish someone would make a youtube alternative too. 😆 For now I'm just waiting for Bluesky to add a dang edit button.
