We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

reminder that I'm chaos posting more on Mastodon as opposed to the cursed butterfly app mastodon.social/@jenjenjen pf is for longer posts about writing. hoping to do more soon, as I'm very inspired by @extension-cord.bsky.social in that regard www.pillowfort.social/jenjenjen

Reminder I’m on Mastadon and PF under the same names, here’s the quick links for your connivence www.pillowfort.social/robotummy mastodon.social/@robotummy

I’ve joined Mastodon! Idk if I’m going to stick with this instance or not, but I’m committing to blorbo.social for now since I wanna try out an instance other than the main mastodon.social one. Drop your account name below so I can follow more people! blorbo.social/@robot_horde

Really hammer your reps about how catastrophic this is and how bad these laws are for peoples online safety

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Here's my Mastodon: mastodon.social/@REYDELCASTI... And my AO3: archiveofourown.org/users/REYDEL...

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as: "You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right? what?"

Funny how this is the only post I've found from a Bluesky employee with the word "trans" made in the past 12 months. We can definitely trust this teams unbiased opinion that the biggest transphobe here hasn't broken any rules.

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky? There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide! docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to...

Here’s a multi use invite link to join Pillowfort. If I missed any misconceptions, let me know! I’ll do my best to answer questions The users want more people & the site could always use more support. So don’t be shy to ask for help, they’re very welcoming www.pillowfort.social/users/sign_u...

Bluesky now demands age verification for Ohioans but Pornhub says the Communications Decency Act supersedes Ohio Revised Code 1349.10 because Pornhub provides “interactive computer services.” I guess I can see why Pornhub is willing to take a legal risk that Bluesky isn’t. Still, very annoying.

I've been on it more and can confirm, people just use Pillowfort to post anything lmao. It reminds me a little bit of a golden age of Tumblr. Anybody can join and do/post whatever on Pillowfort within the rules, so if you're tryna commission artists, it's worth considering

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

i dropped spotify a while back. moved all the music over to a different service, but tbh i dont really rely on music streaming anymore. I'd rather drop like 10-20 bucks on an album or two on bandcamp every month and curate my collection that way

This is genuinely some bullshit on bsky's part. A reaction meme of charlie kirk gets a Black person a permanent suspension, but people who actively doxx and spread hate against marginalized people not only get to stay, but het followed by mods? We see you, bsky, and it's pretty fucking disgusting.

Hey @moderation.bsky.app once again, yall are banning people for posts that are not against the TOS, what's up with that? Marginalized people criticizing AI is against the rules now? Yet Jesse Singal still gets to roam free?

Oh they’re just continuing to scramble to find a justification. Lying about Link’s alt text is a particular kind of evil I’ll say If this is the alleged post, you can check the alt text for yourself pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

Pillowfort have specifically taken measures that have negatively impacted their reach to support NSFW. - They pay more for a high-risk processor. - They are not on app stores to avoid censorship there. - They are 100% user funded to avoid needing to appeal to advertiser whims.

and hey on the topic of ID laws do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord? these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

This is a misconception we've heard a few times, I'm not sure where it comes from! But Pillowfort can be used for lots of things-- a lot of people use it to post their art, but you can also use it for fandom posting, talking about hobbies, just general blogging about your life, etc!

Time to Blue-ski-doo outta this mess. I'll continue shitposting for awhile, but this is my sexy airplane escape slide. You can find my work here: archiveofourown.org/users/NyonSu... Here's my new Pillowfort page if you wanna chat: www.pillowfort.social/NyonSuperstar

If this really goes through and I get nuked - find me elsewhere!! www.pillowfort.social/blueberry_gore As well as mastodon.social/@blueberry_g...

If you didn't before, now is actually the best time to! Rolling waves are effective!!!

yea I don't think this is some elaborate plan, I think she and others on the team just genuinely value the Singals of the world over us and get a little upset at the idea of the uppity trannies and faggots telling them what to do

given our ceo is having a hissy fit and being mean to the userbase, now is a good time to include this in your reviews of the app

Ya know how this site has feeds? Well Pillowfort has a similar thing called "Communities". The big difference is that when you're in one, you can choose to post to that community instead of your main page. Pretty neat, eh? Join em all, join Pillowfort.

I really wish people were talking about Pillowfort more. It's nsfw-friendly, variety of features, user-funded and not beholden to corpos and tech-bro bigots... I'm still surprised bluesky caught on faster and better than it did, though we're seeing how that's going now.

A lot of people have been talking about Pillowfort on BSky lately! If you've heard about us but aren't really sure what we offer or where to get started, here's a handy guide to help you get started: www.pillowfort.social/posts/922593

I think its very cool that the moderation team is completely at odds with the morals of the majority of the users here and also actively hostile about it

It’s funny because it’s true

For real. Especially if you live in a red State, they're always harping on and on about how X and Y need to be banned because of protecting people's identities and protecting people's data, well now is the time to use their words against them.

I'm serious email your representatives and link this article RIGHT NOW tell them this shit sucks and is going to put everyone's ID/data at risk to hackers online. the proof is right here US- www.congress.gov/members/find... EU- www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home CA- www.ourcommons.ca/members/en

Everyone in EU, UK or any US state with ID laws on the books [or even ones without them] should contact their representatives and mention this data breach specifically and [link the article if emailed] Show them the actual, tangible results of all this digshit online ID legislation

dubious Jake fic for polishtober 🔞⚽🤖 archiveofourown.org/works/71393471 need an ao3 to view. read those tags.

Jay created a dog whistle that’s crazy

If you guys are considering jumping ship, might I suggest Pillowfort? It's a bit quieter, but there are lots of communities to join and share your work. It's NSFW friendly and user funded, so no worries about ads or appealing to investors. And of course, it's anti-AI!

the biggest joke on bsky is the idea that a meaningful number of people are here for the promise of eventual decentralization. if we gave a shit about that we’d all be on mastodon. we just want less shitty twitter with fewer nazis. but the staff is too tech industry libertarian brained to understand

anyway. if you miss tumblr but hate that you can't post porn, pillowfort still exists and has probably the least restrictive adult content policies i've encountered so far

The waitlist is literally like 5 minutes and it's super easy (like 3 clicks) to get the app on your phone

does not surprise me at all that multiple Bsky staff people are pro-AI (even if they mostly hide that fact on here). the signs have been there for ages

this is about Gazans btw

If nobody got me I know Pillowfort got me I only have 20 invites codes on this link left, so use it now to skip the short waitlist: pillowfort.social/users/sign_u...

I think the biggest difference between The Internet Then and The Internet Now is how Being Mad Online used to be the one thing you could never admit to, under pain of death, and now, Being Mad Online is a whole career path with a skill tree and an ever-expanding variety of debuffs.

mastodon.social/@VitrificVit... Transphobia mad unsexy sooooo bababababa new app time!! lemme just uhh. I’ll make a pinned at some point today with some proper links but rn have fun searching my profile. will be moving quite quick bc it is. Disheartening to see
