WalkAway from Ravelry: Intolerant knitting site Ravelry losing members
WASHINGTON. More Ravelry members are voicing their objections to Ravelry banning President Trump supporters by posting videos on YouTube. Well-spoken, moderate, and reasonable, these women provide some unexpected points of view concerning their reasons for departing. That said, it seems that a significant number of Ravelry members have launched an ad hoc WalkAway movement. But this time, it’s WalkAway from Ravelry.
Some of these knitters are mothers of six and seven children who are starting or running small businesses. Others established designers issued calls for their groups to disband. They are conducting orderly shutdowns of their Ravelry accounts, which includes removing shops, patterns, social media references, and videos, as well as tweets, Facebook entries, and website references. Their choice to WalkAway from Ravelry involves a significant amount of work, moving in some cases a lifetime of patterns and videos to other sites and / or creating their own. It’s not a trivial matter.

I can't figure out why a freaking knitting website is talking about politics. The crafting sites I used to go to fought about proper technique and which sealant was better.
