Maintenance is complete! Thanks for your patience while we worked on this.

Pillowfort will go offline at 5pm EST today so we can perform server maintenance. This should hopefully take less than an hour and we will update this post when maintenance is complete.

We're 73% of the way to our funding goal for this month and we just need a little more to make it! Pillowfort is an independent, anti-AI, pro-NSFW social media platform and we're funded entirely by our users. Help keep Pillowfort running by donating here: pillowfort.social/donations

lol

I really wish more people and especially artists used Pillowfort. I really don't understand the unwillingness other than just laziness and not wanting to put the effort into setting up a page. Which I get, but it sure is a bummer.

since patreon, subscribestar, and bsky all hate "a drawing of adults having sex but they don't look happy enough, it's banned for being noncon art" i'm begging artists again to post your art to pillowfort because they use a paypro that doesn't pull this shit and their TOS restrictions are minimal:

Please use every We The People cell in your body for this

If you want to revive your old #Pillowfort account PLEASE remember to make a post on IntroduceYourself. No one will find you through tags alone. Communities unlock the true power of @pillowfort.social

I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept.com

As of today, it's the deadline of Thursday. Please call your Reps to demand KOSA does not get through AT ALL! For KOSA is a bill that will harm Trans communities; our individual safeties and many more. Don't delay, make calls. All from outside the US, share FAR AND WIDE! #TransRights #StopKOSA

Since many have removed their discord nitro subscription, maybe support places that actually seem to care more like example: comicfury and pillowfort and such?. Keep smaller profited place alive so we can still thrive on those. Specially places who are nsfw and artist friendly and don’t allow genai

CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON NOW!!!!!! Tell them: — NO to KOSA — NO to Section 230 reform — NO to the SCREEN Act — NO to the App Store Accountability Act —NO age verification laws —NO to digital ID systems

With all thats happening with *gestures vaguely at everything*, its important to have independent platforms like #Pillowfort. Bluesky is doing well, but I've always preferred platforms with more versatility towards long-form blogging.

We're only 48% of the way to our funding goal for this month. Pillowfort is an independent, anti-AI, pro-NSFW social media network. We're funded entirely by our users, instead of right-wing billionaire oligarchs. Help keep Pillowfort running by donating here: pillowfort.social/donations

These guys aren’t even halfway to their funding goal this month and this is the last week of February. If you want a genuinely anti-fascist, anti-AI, and even NSFW-friendly platform, PLEASE donate to Pillowfort.

We released a site update that includes a long-awaited revamp of our image uploader widget! You can now upload up to 4 images at a time and easily rearrange them in a grid. Read more about the update here: www.pillowfort.social/posts/7232136

Started using Pillowfort more lately given, yknow [gestures], and not only is it anti-AI and largely queer but it’s also very very pro-NSFW content so 👍🫡 waitlist is like under 30 minutes, get out there and microblog

I can confidently say if you want to be on a website that confirmed ISN'T evil, it's Pillowfort.

This is a good time to consider making a pillowfort account

If you are looking for alternatives to social media owned by right-wing oligarchs, Pillowfort is a leftist, NSFW-friendly platform that protects user privacy. We've been around for almost 9 years already! You can join our SHORT rolling waitlist to get started TODAY. pillowfort.social/waitlist

Pillowfort: Good folks, good art & posts, can get good discussions on a variety of topics, especially web & all the garbage going on in the world. In particular I love sharing my art and my neocities web progress & I love seeing others share theirs too. It's funded by users and is against genAI. +

Update: Everything should be back to normal, sorry for the hiccups! :) Let us know if you still encounter any issues.

Hey all, we've received your reports of site issues and are investigating, thanks!

I've got a Facebook and an Instagram because that's where readers are, but I am not relying on them. Alternatives: Pillowfort is small right now with a delightfully random jumble of a userbase. I suspect many will like their policies on NSFW (allowed, just tag it!) and AI (not allowed).

There are multiple reports of TikTok censoring anti-ICE content since the site went under new ownership. It has never been more important for independent social media to exist

Maintenance is complete! Thanks for your patience. :)

Hi all, we're going to be doing more database maintenance today, so you can expect the site to be down for a while (I'd estimate an hour or more) this afternoon. We'll let you know when everything is back up and running.

Hey all, we're going to be doing some server maintenance shortly, so Pillowfort will be down for a little while. We don't expect this to take more than an hour and we will let you all know when things are back up and running!

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

pillowfort not only allows most of the content b/sky doesn't want but also does not allow 🅰️ℹ️. also has privacy settings b/sky doesn't have. it's not a "lesser-evil" it's a decent functional site, but ppl complain bc "no one is there". that can be easily remedied, lol

people on bsky: i sure wish we had a website similar to old LJ and tumblr pillowfort users: yea, it literally exists, it's called Pillowfort?? people on bsky: too bad a website like that doesn't exist 💀💀

hey look it's another site that's exactly the thing everyone keeps saying they want!

If you're looking for a social media site that won't subject you to this kind of awful nonsense, Pillwfort.social not only has zero AI-powered features but we don't allow AI-generated content on the site period. Read more about Pillowfort here: www.pillowfort.social/posts/922593

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

Congress is trying to force through mass surveillance/censorship laws THIS WEEK BOOST THIS EVERYWHERE before it’s too late. 👇 www.badinternetbills.com Call and tell your rep: —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO online digital ID laws —NO age verification laws

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW. www.congress.gov/members/find...

Re: Some slowness and downtime on the site in the last week or so, we're dealing with what looks to be a bot scraping situation which is slowing things down. We are working on tweaking our access filters to address this issue and we appreciate your patience in the meantime!

Both Ana's patreon and kofi have been suspended within 24 hours of each other. She's been doing invaluable reporting on this exact censorship

For those unfamiliar Ana Valens has been one of the 2 big names organizing and spearheading the protests on payment processors. And one of the first journalists to had covered the topic of collective shout, their hypocrisy and war on adult content.

Good time to push @pillowfort.social again: - Not just allows but *supports* NSFW. - Genuinely no algorithm at all (which does put people off. However, we have communities, tags & each other to share posts.) - Completely 100% user funded. No ads. - Older than Bluesky. - Dedicated user base.

ok pillowfort having a queue already puts it leagues above twitter or bluesky
