If you attempt to promote Pillowfort in my notes, you are a danger to yourself and others. I will block you, AND I will add you to the list of users I make sure to re-block every time I notice that Tumblr has cleared the recent entries in my blocklist, thereby ensuring that it is no fault of my own if anyone ever sees your bad advice.

cohost does look pretty good but i’m kinda torn about joining after looking around their website and seeing that they basically have no plan for monetization. i feel like it’s probably going to instantly die due to not being able to support any sizable userbase without using ads. not that people shouldn’t join if they want to, but it’s pretty likely they’ll end up dying quickly

Yeah, I did wonder how they were gonna make money if they were ad-free. Maybe I'll just resurrect my old pillowfort.io instead.

free PillowFort invites - would you like one? what is PF? glad you asked!

Do you know about PillowFort?  Did you find yourself nodding (nay, weeping) about the post I reblogged yesterday about how the tumblr platform sucks for community building?  The one with the quote, “When Authors stopped being friends and turned into content providers, new fandom members never learned to care.” from  zoinomiko?  PILLOWFORT MAY BE EXACTLY RIGHT FOR YOU.  Lemme explain!

Pillowfort is like the best of the LJ/DW platform and the best of the tumblr platform, if all of tumblr had most of x-kit installed (snort).  (forgive me if this list is long but that’s because PF is fucking amazing - I can’t help it!)

Such as:

following:  you can follow others, they can follow you. your feed will be an endless scroll, like here.

reblogs - you like a post, reblog jand it will show up on your PF blog to all of your followers, just like here.

HOWEVER - if you are the original post creator, you control it. Forever.

if you are the post author/creator, you can delete it at any time - and it will be deleted everywhere. (god haven’t you wished you could do this for some of your tumblr posts where reblogs have content you despise but are now permanently out in the world???)

to reiterate: if you made a post, you are in complete control as to its existence - it never ends up reblogged out of your control, because it’s never embedded on someone elses’ blog as new content, even though it’s visible in the PF feeds of those who reblog from you.

you can tag posts when you reblog them, just like here

you can comment on posts (whether you reblog them or not)

as a commenter, you can delete your own comment at any time.

the comment structure is NESTED - like a well constructed forum or DW or LJ.  If someone responds to you, it shows up indented under your comment. If someone comments on the original post, it shows up as not indented.  Just as you’d expect.

if you’ve only ever been on tumblr you have no idea how much this creates relationships and real community.  That post that I reblogged yesterday that talked about how “When Authors stopped being friends and turned into content providers, new fandom members never learned to care.” - THAT is what a forum designed for real discussion in a comprehensible visual format creates.

As the post creator, you can delete anyone’s comments.  You are in charge of the vibe on your own original post.  

this creates self-selected community involvement - if you’re a jerk, nice people will un-friend your blog and just leave it alone.  If you foster happy healthy vibes, people will appear and join and comment.

  This fosters a huge golden-rule environment that made some blogs a huge happy success on LJ/DW where mean people were banned and kind people were welcomed and celebrated; and some mean toxic successes - where healthy people went somewhere nicer.  I‘m not even gonna bold that.  Because fuck that dynamic on the entire internet.

you can create original posts your followers can read/see on their feeds

you can make these available to all without restrictions

OR you can make them any of these options:

un-rebloggable

un-commentable

marked/categorized as NSFW to help others screen

or visible only to mutuals

(a feature whereby we can create our own curated ‘friend groups’ is promised. remember, this is entirely new code they’re creating. features are being requested and implemented as fast as they can roll them out in a functional way)

Incidentally, if you have a problem, the staff is actually real humans who really respond to you! Shocking, isn’t it?

there are communities you can join or create - have a particular fandom or RL interest?  find or create a community - search by tags!

There are different post types to choose from:

text

picture

video (currently only youtube, but that will expand)

link (shows a preview of the website you’re linking to, just like here) (incidentally, this will embed an instagram photo or video and the video will play - yes!)

audio (currently soundcloud only, that will expand)

You can send private mail to another member (and mail you write does not vanish into the ether, it remains as part of the conversation chain when you click on it.  kinda clunky, but getting there!)

you can choose to receive messages from anyone, noone, or only your mutuals

You can blacklist content based on key-word

You can filter as well

You can block users (god bless the block button anywhere on the internet)

You can check notifications

you can instantly sort ‘replies’ from ‘likes & reblogs’

There are avatars (do they support animation yet? I’m not sure?)

there aren’t themes yet (give the poor coders time!), but you can change your PF’s color scheme to whatever you like

You can deactivate your account - make in vanish, but without deleting it. handy if you just wanna go away, but not lose all your content - and not have your content be visible while you’re gone

You can delete you account (of course)

You have three invites a week you can give away free!  Though PF needs the $5 life-long one-time registration fee to keep the lights on, this is a way to help someone who’d love to be a member, but hasn’t got the cash :) 

If you want to join PF and cannot afford the one-time $5 fee (which is paying for server & bandwidth ), I am happy to give away my 3 invites a week to any friends on here - where ‘friend’ equals ‘nice people who’ve been nice on here!’  Just DM me, and I’ll give you one :)  Please pay them if you can afford to though!

Pillowfort is a great design for fandom, it’s not owned by some big corporate entity - it’s run by fans.  Remember what that feels like?  Dreamwidth?  AO3?  Like that.  Real humans, who will really respond to you.

I really really want to see Pillowfort become a successful platform - COME JOIN US!  WE’RE HAVING GREAT FUN AND MAKING REAL RELATIONSHIPS :)

PF members - feel free to chime in about any awesomeness I forgot to include!  [any haters, eff off]

Everyone keep in mind, Pillowfort is a brand new platform being created from scratch - updates roll out regularly (if they break anything, staff is all over it and its fixed quickly), requested features are being implemented all the time (and seldom break things - how weird), and Real Humans Such As Yourself are doing all of this, without whopping paychecks [any paychecks] and without being owned by some corporation.  (Incidentally, they could use your donation - whether one time or subscription, amount is your choice)

If ‘being nice to fellow fans because they are friends, not simply faceless content creators’ is an unfamiliar concept...please feel free to try it out when discussing PF on this post :D

.

ETA!!!

in her HUGELY THOROUGH pifo info post, @lavender-sprinkles​  also pointed people toward ‘a completely interaction-free Google form” where you can find free invites!!  

The PILLOWFORT INVITE KEY EXCHANGE PROJECT - ‘Itching to join Pillowfort, but can't swing the $5 fee? Fear not! All you have to do is fill out this form and we will connect you with a PiFo user who has a spare key meant just for you! Absolutely FREE! Then just sit back and patiently wait for it to arrive.‘

DUDE. IT COULD NOT BE EASIER TO GET A FREE ACCOUNT - AWESOME!

He turned to her, shoulders square. “Can you explain earlier, please? I want to understand.”

Her breath hitched before she was able to respond.

“You died,” she whispered, bending down to get a pair of jeans from the bag. “You died and nothing was ever the same.”

-- Excerpt from Even in the silence, I heard your voice by Madoking / @oodzz​ on AO3

I’ve wanted to draw this scene for a while, but I could never come up with a composition that I liked. Finally, though, after what might just be a day of endless doodling, I had a pose and rough idea of lighting that worked for me (and also vaguely matched how the scene was described in the story).

Plus I also just wanted an excuse to draw my boi Nat in the buff >:3

!!SPEAKING OF WHICH!!

If you want to see the full version of this picture - I have a Pillowfort! I’ve had it for quite some time, just never used it. Now I have a reason to, since the lockdown is making me draw more, ah, adult content that tungle.com does not like. (Spoil-sports.) You can find it over here >> <3

Pillowfort?

Hello all I was trying to move over a bit to Pillowfort and was curious if anyone wanted codes and or had a Pillowfort already :^D

#pillowfort #pillowfort.io #pillowfort.social

[cybertronsdumbestdecepticon]

Pillowfort won't be coming back because they had to use its parts to repair the doctor in Star Trek: Voyager episode 3.04. Also, because I made my username "drop_table(:posts)".

You know what REALLY sucks?

We had a working system in place.

For YEARS we had the safelock in place for a REASON. Yes it wasn't perfect. BUT IT KEPT THE BALANCE OF THE SITE.

The lock was great. We have always had bots and VERY illegal type stuff on the site,

Here is a list of stuff i have seen under the #nsfw tag or on blogs both of which have been present for YEARS but hidden by the lock.

Gore

Drug use

Satanism

Beastality

Toilet stuff

Anti white semitism posts

Self harm posts

JUST TO NAME A FEW. But god forbid some mother sees a 17 year old girl in a bikini and all of a sudden, *POOF* tumblr is off the app store and they lose their collective minds!

They never cared about us, Folks.

Otherwise we would have had stricter filtering ACTUAL moderators. And they would have kept the lock.

All the problems on this site could be resolved if you had

Kept the lock

Hired tumblr vets (tumblrs with a sfw blog that has been up for 5+ years) as moderators who could delete these posts.

Made an anti bot sweeping program that actually worked instead of worsened the situation.

ACTUALLY LISTENED TO YOUR USERBASE FFS.

YOU SEE @STAFF?

That is all we wanted.

No pedos

No bots

A way to properly filter tags like gore which most do not want to see.

And maybe a proper search feature.

I hope you're happy.

90% of your userbase is leaving.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS LISTEN TO YOUR USERBASE

If you actually cared you would REINSTATE the precious lock and #nsfw and maybe MAYBE your userbase would forgive you. But you don't care. You never did. And thats what REALLY sucks.

REBLOG AND SHARE THIS POST UNTIL YOUR DYING BREATH SO OUR VOICES CAN BE HEARD AND OUR PAIN FELT!!

Here's a link to my Pillowfort feed. Feel free to follow me there if you like. If you want to try PF while it's still in beta, I have nine (9!) spare invite codes that I bought back before they closed registrations for a while. Registrations are open now for 5USD but I know that's a lot of money for some people! Let me know if you can put one of my codes to good use. Unless you are a TERF, have a problem with sex workers, or an apologist for other miscellaneous right wing nonsense. I'm not inviting Nazis or friends to Nazis, but I'll happily share with comrades.
