RavelryReviews 510

Ravelry's administration run it like a communist country. They have a group called Ravelry Rubberneckers that troll all the forums for things to make fun of and then post links to members and their conversations. Then they ridicule these people and make fun of them. When Ravelry says it's against hate speech, it's only against speech they hate. If you ask a question, you get attacked and insulted. I cannot recommend this site to anyone.

Ravelry tries very hard to be all inclusive but requires the people who post to be good to each other. You can believe anything you want to believe but you can't put anyone down for their color, their race, their religion, etc. Now if they are stupid it might be open season. The politics got out of hand recently but most of the site is a very helpful place to learn more about the crafts of knitting, crocheting, spinning and weaving. If you have a question about a technique/a pattern/a yarn someone will have the answer.

Ravelry is a knowledge site for crafters, run by real people who are some of the best coders, UI developers, knowledge managers and customer service team I've encountered, anywhere, in a 30-year (so far) IT career. The site aims to catalogue all things yarncraft and makes massive databases of patterns, supplies, and projects available for free to its users. It is a sustainable and ethical small business, subsisting on voluntary user contributions and relevant advertising content from human-vetted small business contributors.

An originally small part of the site was its extensive forums function, which is moderated by volunteers and governed by an exceedingly well considered Community Guidelines that the rest of the social media world could stand to take a few lessons from.

In addition to being extremely user-friendly and intuitive, Ravelry's staff and team of volunteer moderators work tirelessly around the clock to ensure the site is functioning smoothly. I can't imagine planning a knit or crochet project without Ravelry, and keeping track of my yarn stash would be a nightmare. Plus, they've taken positive steps based on user feedback to ensure the community is safe and welcoming for all members.

White suburban Harvard elites, the founders of Ravelry believe that only privileged people like themselves can save the little brown people of the world. They lied to create a situation where they could feel justified in banning conservatives from their site, tarring and feathering Trump supporters, one and all, with the label of "White Supremacist". They lied to their advertisers about their subscriber count to inflate their advertising rates, creating fake accounts at a time when the site was closed to new accounts. And never forget: they accepted $71,000 in donations from their community -- so much money that they didn't even need it for the business and used some to purchase CARBON CREDITS -- and later, when they no longer needed these donors, they BANNED THE VERY SAME PEOPLE IF THEY WERE TRUMP SUPPORTERS. At the same time, they welcome with open arms hate speech against President Trump, Sarah Palin, Jews, and others. This website is run, and populated, by hateful people, and any veneer of civilization that was once there is long gone. -- Ravelry member 2008 to 2019

This site used to be about sharing knitting and crochet patterns and loving the crafts. Since the owners of Ravelry decided to come out of the closet' with their anti American, anti-US Constitution, full blow hate for our President Trump, and ban anyone who has the audacity to stand up for everything America stands for, true Americans have decided that we aren't going to stay in a group that has these hate values. Allowing $#*! Trump' scarves and patterns on their site while banning and closing accounts with MAGA 2020' and Make America Great Again patterns and items is discriminating, lying about being all inclusive, and stifling our American freedoms. It also shows that they are afraid. Because they know that President Trump has more support than any other President has in decades. President Trump is for ALL Americans and America. He wants us United and Ravelry wants us divided. The picture has never been more clear. Sad, but true. But the right side is now standing up and fighting back against bullies like Ravelry. We aren't gonna take it anymore! Rise up!

Website is run by a person who censors all speech, thought or ideas other than his own. He allows Trademark and Copyright infringement He holds data of every account including those of any and all designers once they close their accounts. What you think is yours, isn't. It now belongs to the website owner. He has falsified accounts to make it look like there is over 8 million when there really isn't. He's scammed his followers out of donation money. Ravelry isn't what the owner claims it is. Don't open an account. All patterns you can find elsewhere on the internet. You can find the designers directly on their own websites.
