Well by now we've figured out that in essence, what they did was give us a place to party, (as long as we paid our fees on time). So my compatriots and I have begun a I DON'T GIVE A F*** thread.
In the words of Patti Smith: We created it... Lets take it over!!
We're having a give-a-way for the dispossessed, betting on what post will be our last. Etsy employees do not qualify, and the rules my be a bit distorted from the effects of our beverages of choice, but the spirit is there, the one that will outlast any attempt at corporate co-option, the solidarity that dares to say "I see through bullshit, and I call shenanigans!" It's all in good fun. We will deal with the Etsy #coralgate hangover in the morning. For now, drinks are on us, and this time it's not Kool-aid!

WOW!!
Well, this thread has NOT been closed.
Oh and look what propaganda the Cult Of Etsy just put out!
MAYBE BECAUSE THEY DONT ACTUALLY DO ANY WORK!!!!????
A Place To Heal
Dear Fellow Etsy Refugees,
It has been a rough week for many of us who have chosen to seek refuge outside of EtsyCorp, mostly due to the coralgate scandal which has rightfully upset a large portion of sellers.
As I write this, I am physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I'm hoping this can be a place where we can come together to support one another in this difficult transition, free from censorship, muting, deletion, and undue criticism of our motives and integrity. I hope you will join me in crying, venting, celebrating, laughing, and hopefully, finding a way forward.
Leaving a place that was like a second home to you, and closing up the shop you worked so hard on, is an emotional experience, and I know I sure could use some support and camaraderie!
Welcome and grab a seat, a cup of coffee, and a box of kleenex if necessary.
Love,
Joan
