For maximum disruption, phone, then email. If they don't respond in a timely manner (or it's boilerplate bs), another phone call to "clarify" things.

Just remember, the grunts on the phone aren't your enemy. Your goal is to maximise the amount of time you swallow, not to upset them. They could often be allies in hiding.

We don't have to truly break them. We just have to be more annoying than the religious nutjobs.

I’m calling to urge [company name] to immediately end the policy that unfairly targets the adult content industry. I’m also asking that [company name] sit down with stakeholders- specifically sex workers and adult content creators- to develop solutions that ensure equitable access to financial services, create stability, and reduce harm for sex workers.

Despite what religions say, this is what they actually do:

They attempt to control your life based on their fiction.

Every time. Every year. Every century. It never stops. This is what religion is about. Controlling everything and everyone. For the better? Nope. Definitely not.

@DreamAccountant@lemmy.world @bytesonbike@discuss.online

It's a dangerous generalization, stating that "{all} religions want to control your life".

I'm somewhat Lilithian-Luciferian with many syncretic influences such as Thelemite and Hermetic concepts, and the very core values represented by Lilith and Lucifer are "do what thou wilt". Also, my belief neither chains me nor others, especially because I don't follow a religion or a religious group (and, well, having any dogmas wouldn't match the non-conformist, rebellious and anarchist values imbued by Them).

So, before conflating Abrahamic dogmas with the broad terms "religion" and "faith", be aware of how there are a plethora of different religions and belief systems around the world: some religions want to chain everybody, others want to break the chains.

The reason they want emails is because the phone calls are slowing the call center SLA to a crawl and tanking their metrics for the quarter. If this keeps up, the payment processor will push back next time and Christian authoritarians won't be able to get away with shenanigans like this again.

They probably have their customer support laid out as phone, email, and maybe chat. Phone is the most expensive support channel because it's 1 person to 1 problem and it's impossible to scale, so they can't roll out a bot or ignore the metrics for long. Keep up the pressure!

Are they a religious org? I thought they were explicitly feminist, or is that just the CEO?
