I just woke up this morning to an email saying my BuyMeACoffee account was suspended for adult content.

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.

I'll be looking for another way to accept tips (as it's kinda my lifeline); if you have any suggestions that *don't* involve platforms that'll ban me for posting some wholesome-ish adult content *on my own social media profile*, I'd live to hear them.

Screenshot of email response from Buy Me A Coffee:

Hi Alice,

Thanks for your patience. Unfortunately, your account has been permanently deactivated due to a violation of the Terms of Use related to adult content. Please note that even if adult content is posted on other websites, it can still lead to account review and banning- masto.thefword.club/@AltAfterDark lgbtqia.space/@alice/media. This decision is based on our payment partners' strict policies, and we cannot reverse it.

Regrettably, we are unable to process your remaining balance, as doing so would violate our Terms of Use. Our payment processor will initiate a refund for your outstanding balance and payments to your supporters after 30 days from the account deactivation.

For more details, I suggest reviewing our Terms of Service, Prohibited use cases and the payment providers' guidelines.

I appreciate your understanding, and I’m here if you have any questions.
