hmmmmm

interesting that my post on the cross-stitch subreddit about supporting the Etsy strike was removed... by a mod who is a very successful Etsy seller who is NOT participating in the strikes at all

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

(cross stitch peeps, i am tagging it as such in case anyone has insights, but please don't reblog, i really don't want drama. please do reblog the other posts you see about etsy strikes tho, and if you can think of some way to make it ~relevant~ for the subreddit, please do lmk and i'll try again)

idk im just like. our hobby seems so innocuous and harmless in every possible way but nothing exists in a sociopolitical vacuum and it's disingenuous to pretend that isn't the case. things that affect our small business owners are important to the entire community.

#she said it was removed bc it's not relevant to cross stitch #but like #everyone on the subreddit buys patterns on etsy and i mentioned i nthe post that theres been a lot of discussion around sellers leaving #etsy because it keeps getting worse and worse for small businesses on there #the mod is a star seller and as far as i can tell #she works on her shop full-time #so she doesn't care about the star seller issue bc it is possible for her to be attending to the shop 24/7 #and ig the increase in listing fee doesn't hit her badly enough??#idk if im reading too much into her removing my post or if any of the mods would have done the same #but imo its a little scummy #anyway i'm not gonna do anythign else on the subreddit bc i don't want drama #but im not happy and i'm certainly going to avoid buying from her in future #not that i'm particularly interested in any of her stuff #via shitposts #cross stitch #x stitch #cross stitching
