A social media community for those who knit and crotchet has taken the drastic step of banning supporters of President Donald Trump.

Ravelry describes itself as “a community site, an organizational tool, and a yarn & pattern database for knitters and crocheters.”

But nowhere in that description of the company and the website does it say that users are banned for how they vote.

And it is important to note that it did not simply ban any crotchet patterns of President Trump, they outright banned anyone that supports him.

“We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry. We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy,” it said.

“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,” it said on its website.

“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,” it said in a section titled policy notes.

And then it went on to ask its other users to actively participate in the witch hunt to find and eradicate President Trump supporters.

“Projects: Unacceptable projects will be provided to the member or made invisible to others. Patterns: Unacceptable patterns will be returned to drafts.

“Forum posts: right now, only posts written after Sunday, June 23rd at 8 AM Eastern Profiles: Please do not flag profiles yet if the only banned content is an avatar or avatars. There is not yet a flagging system for those,” it said.

The company said that it had adopted its policy from a policy on another website for role playing games at RPG.net.
