      Kickstarter is a US company. Stripe is HQ’d in California. We are clearly discussing American financial regulations and payment processing.

      It’s nice to see some Canadian exceptionalism out in the wild.

        This post is on lemmy.ca, so it should be safe to assume that it referred to the Canadian Government

      Apologies, I saw a post in a community on lemmy.ca and foolishly presumed that its default view wasn’t one of Americentrism. Silly me I guess.

          Ouch, I guess I’ve triggered you. Apologies. I believe your previous post is in violation of Rule 1, but hey I get it. Life’s busy and it’s easy to get caught up in and forget civility and respect. I’ll block you in a bit and you can continue on your way.

            Triggered? 😂 I’m just trying to help you understand why things turned out this way for you. But sure, go off, king.

        Welcome to the Fediverse! :D

        I joke, but I’ve made the same mistake too.
