BREAKING: @stripe disabled my account. They’re also holding onto my funds and won’t release them. I called and emailed and they aren’t giving me a straight answer. This has been going on for a month. Nobody has been able to subscribe to my newsletter and my funds are frozen.
UPDATE: @stripe fixed my account. Took 30 minutes. All thanks to the backlash on X. I really tried handling this internally before blasting them. Thank you all. Thank you X.
I think we’re all wondering what @stripe and @patrickc are doing to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
This also happened to libsoftiktok, apparently in January, but then she publicized it a couple of weeks ago and it magically resolved shortly afterwards. https://nitter.poast.org/libsoftiktok/status/1760699849861984629
Years ago, Stripe admitted that they weren't the ones pushing for the debanking efforts. It was MasterCard.
Libs is an idiot to use Stripe going forward. Your money is not safe with them. They are the enemy.
And if you have a MasterCard, you're funding the enemy.
