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).

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 💀💀

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

We fixed the issue and everything should be back to normal! If Pillowfort is still rendering a broken page, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page.

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

Since I see misinformation spread about Pillowfort often, and I think it’s a great site to join if you don’t want all your social media eggs in one basket, here’s a thread debunking common misconceptions I’ve seen over the years. 🧵

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 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!

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.

Just a reminder that Pillowfort is NSFW-friendly, anti-AI, 100% user-funded, and not owned by fascist billionaires! You can join for free today via our (short!) rolling waitlist: pillowfort.social/waitlist

Pillowfort is still not dead! You just need to tag and repost to relevant communities, and your posts will be found! 😊

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.

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.

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

#Pillowfort is NOT dead. Consider PF as another site that you can post to. Think of it but Tumblr but smaller & more casual. Check out my other posts (will link below) for more info.

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!
