Sorry for the double-reply but I'll focus here on different matters, ok?

I think "we" (people in general) should be doing a few things:

Pressuring governments to implement laws that prevent Visa/MC/PP from doing what they're doing. As I mentioned in another thread, I don't even think Visa/MC/PP would fight against that; if anything this would make them immune to pressure from those groups.
Pressuring Visa/MC/PP directly. There are petitions around that already; we should be supporting them, and creating more as necessary.
Spreading awareness of the real motivations of Collective Shout group. No, they aren't trying to "protect women", "protect children" or whatever - they're religious nutjobs trying to push the Overton Window to the right, until even non-erotic LGBTQ+ content gets banned from those platforms.
Support platforms that don't cave in to demands, in detriment of platforms that do.
