Hey anyone who uses #etsy, they are changing their terms and conditions so you cannot participate in class action lawsuits against them. You can opt out using these steps, but you have to do it before 23rd August 2023.

It applies if you have a profile there, whether you sell or not!
Below are step-by-step instructions on how to opt out by Wednesday, August 23, 2023. This will take < 10 minutes to do.
Sign in to Etsy and go to this link: https://www.etsy.com/your/account 
Scroll down and note your email address associated that's with your account under "Current email"
Next, scroll to the top of the page. In the top right corner, click the "Your account" icon (to the left of the shopping cart)
In the drop down menu, click "View your profile"
Look at the URL of this page, and note your username. It should be found in etsy.com/people/[your username] (it may also be like etsy.com/people/[your username]?ref=xyz)
If you sell stuff on Etsy, note the name of your shop. If you don’t sell anything on Etsy, continue to the next step.
Draft an email to arbitrationoptout@etsy.com with the subject line Opt out request
Copy the template message below, replacing the fake info I've used here as an example, and send the email:
Please consider this email my valid request to opt out of arbitration as described in Section 11 of the Terms of Use.
Name: John Smith
Account email address: johnsmith@myemail.com
Username: johnsmith
Shop name: Appleseed Designs (or N/A if you don't sell on Etsy)

Time for an #introduction

Magpie Market is a federated platform aiming to be an alternative to #etsy; leveraging the Fediverse to help #artists, craftspeople, and others promote and sell their goods and services. We believe the #fediverse deserves a marketplace built with federation in mind.

Shop/Business accounts Only on this instance. No personal accounts.
