Things That Make Me go Hmm

Ravelry is an “inclusive” free site for knitters and crocheters that excludes Trump Supporters.

New Policy: Do Not Post In Support of Trump or his Administration
Sunday, June 23rd 2019


We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry.


This includes support in the form of forum posts, projects, patterns, profiles, and all other content. Note that your project data will never be deleted. We will never delete your Ravelry project data for any reason and if a project needs to be removed from the site, we will make sure that you have access to your data. If you are permanently banned from Ravelry, you will still be able to access any patterns that you purchased. Also, we will make sure that you receive a copy of your data.


We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy.


Policy notes:
You can still participate if you do in fact support the administration, you just can’t talk about it here.


We are not endorsing the Democrats nor banning Republicans.
We are definitely not banning conservative politics. Hate groups and intolerance are different from other types of political positions.
We are not banning people for past support.
Do not try to weaponize this policy by entrapping people who do support the Trump administration into voicing their support.
Similarly, antagonizing conservative members for their unstated positions is not acceptable.


You can help by flagging any of the following items if they constitute support for Trump or his administration: […]
