The Death of Ravelry and Pinterest

Just recently, Pinterest banned a pro-life organization, Live Action.  Now I come home from church tonight to find that Ravelry bans any mention of Trump support (presumably it is still fine to be derangedly negative about him.)  They carefully state in their announcement that they are not banning conservatives, etc., which simply means they want us to keep contributing to the knitting database, but never out ourselves as Trump voters.  Even though most of us have stoically endured their obscene pink hats, nasty women pro-abortion rally photos, and blatantly left-wing politics.

As of now, I have deleted my Pinterest account.  Since Ravelry just instituted their anti-American policy, I am making sure I have all my important data first-- Unless they ban me first, since I quickly changed most of my project names to things like "Make Knitting Great Again Scarf" and "Conservatives Have More Fun."

I still have a personal policy of never unfriending people unless they are obscene or excessively profane, so I welcome everyone who enjoys fiber arts here--even if you otherwise hate me.  I also keep my facebook friends of various political flavors because, unlike the left, I don't fear opposition.  I know in the end truth always wins---if not now, then certainly in eternity.

Now go out and keep knitting great, no matter how the SJWs whine and rage and ban.

For a truly diverse and inclusive platform, without snowflakes and pompous, self-righteous liberal virtue signaling and banning, try STEEM.   Decentralized blockchain technology will eventually trump facebook and all the other banning Marxists.
