What a shame. I used Etsy back before it was a big platform… it used to have a chat room for sellers, and my teen self made friends with a bunch of super supportive and nice older ladies.
Froggy fibers springs to mind and if you have any reason to buy dyed wool or yarn from a POC, find her, she’s a fucking lovely person (or was 20 years ago; she bought a hat from me for her year-old son when it turned out child-size because I wasn’t skilled with crochet in the round, and it made such an impression I’m talking about her a full 20 years later.)
I haven’t touched it in years because of how… just absolute shit it’s become. From changing from verifiably handmade to… whatever bullshit it is now…
I still have all of the pay it forward “freebies” I ever got.
I’d love to see a fedi alternative, or even just some sort of… open software or p2p network but sharing sales details maybe? Idk.
I’ll send my message, but I’ve largely written off that platform for being just trash.
