Posting here once again to hype @pillowfort.social. It is the best parts of Tumblr and LJ mashed together. Also, NSFW is allowed and AI isn’t. All it needs is more users!

We're thrilled to announce Pillowfort now has a mobile app! Download the Progressive Web App directly from our browser site and it'll behave the same as any other app. Check out the following guide for installation instructions and more info about PWAs: www.pillowfort.social/posts/5881832

pillowfort is ad-free user-funded, pro-nsfw, pro-lgbtq, anti-genAI and is built for fans and creators @pillowfort.social

If you're an NSFWer anticipating your stuff getting kicked off Bluesky next month, casual reminder that Pillowfort is still a thing.

The internet has become a difficult place for NSFW artists and creators to navigate in recent years, but Pillowfort is and will continue to be a home for NSFW communities, providing robust tools to curate and share what you love.

I really was not expecting Pillowfort of all places to be the Last Site Standing for adult art but bsky seems determined to make that happen

Repealing Section 230 would be disastrous for the internet at large, especially social media.

The social media landscape is getting really grim politically. Please consider supporting Pillowfort-- we're NSFW-friendly and not run by insane conservative billionaires! www.pillowfort.social/donations

"Porn bans" ALWAYS lead to trans bans Michigan bill seeks to lock up trans people for posting selfies.

I like Pillowfort a lot. It has bunch of great features for fostering communities and fandoms.

Thanks to Pillowfort users, we're on our way to our funding goal for September! Support a NSFW-friendly independent platform and help keep Pillowfort's lights on: pillowfort.social/donations

This petition is currently sitting at number 3. I signed. If you are Canadian and care about freedom, sign. 🍁 (And while you are signing, check out a few more. There's some great ones on there, like protecting the rights of immigrants and refugees to due process)

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

#SaveSpeech Continue calling your representatives about these federal bills. All of these are some flavor of bad-for-the-internet. additionally, try to emphasize how much you want to see legislation passed to stop paypros from censoring/debanking legal work! www.congress.gov/members/find...

Another cool feature that @pillowfort.social has which seems worth highlighting: You have enormous control over your posts at an individual post level, and can change these settings *at any time.*

We still need help making our goal for this month! We are a pro-NSFW, independent social network, so please consider supporting us! pillowfort.social/donations

Thinking "Someone else will do it" is the assurance that no one else will do it, and everyone will lose. Keep up the calls, keep up the emails, keep up the pressure.

SO thrilled to publish this fantastic piece outlining the problems with age verification and "child safety" by Pratika Katiyar and Rebecca Williams at the ACLU and Cynthia Conti Cook who leads the Surveillance Resistance Lab.

Weekends are a PERFECT time to call your overlords because wait times are low Don't let them have a break just because it's Saturday. KEEP CALLING. KEEP YOUR VOICE LOUD.

Thanks to Pillowfort users, we're nearly halfway to our funding goal for the month! Support a NSFW-friendly independent platform and help keep Pillowfort's lights on: pillowfort.social/donations

Not shocked at all. A reminder that everything is political; if you think that politics won't affect you, think again.

I will once more make the suggestion that people who are anti censorship give pillowfort a try. It's full of freaks (affectionate). I love it there

Grass is green where you water it. Dont be hesitant to try a new site because every app started small and unknown. I urge you all to give Pillowfort a fair chance. The more people try sites like Pillowfort the more we can break away from big corpos trying to 1984 us all.

We have a perfectly fine independent, pro-LGBT, pro-NSFW, anti-fascist, old-Tumblr-like platform in @pillowfort.social… and not enough people are donating to them each month. Put your money where your mouth is, people.

#SaveSpeech Updated list of major US bills ya'll need to yell at your congressmen about, w/ talking points. Tell em to say NO to: SCREEN ACT KOSA IODA www.congress.gov/members/find... CALL EM. MAIL EM. EMAIL EM. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.

August is in full swing, and thanks to Pillowfort users, we're on our way to our funding goal for the month! Consider donating to support an independent platform and help keep Pillowfort's lights on: pillowfort.social/donations

Thread. ...Here's one bit I liked, though: "If the appeals court denies the petition, Anthropic argued, the emerging company may be doomed." ...Good. They brought this (potential) situation on themselves. Let 'em be doomed.

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act. If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification. Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is. Spread this pls. Link: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... #screenact #badinternetbills #stopkosa

#SaveSpeech Remember, if youre american, contact your reps and urge them not to support KOSA and the SCREEN act! Unlike Pay-pros, you dont need to waste time. All they NEED is to know is that you dont support it. Heres some talking points if desired tho: www.congress.gov/members/find...

Demand every processor tell you when they launched an investigation into steam, itch, patreon, and what illegal content they found. When they say it's because theyre "high risk", ask them why they're discriminating against protected groups. Repeat. They're blaming each other because they're scared.

call ur banks but also still call on stripe. you cannot take their statement 100% at face value when they've previously told people calling that they specifically won't support it themselves. that pressure should not go away

Visa is getting a lot of play because there's blood in the water and while we can't stop calling them at such a critical breaking point, PayPal is currently getting off easy when they're one of the oldest scourges of censorship. Put them where Visa is now!

Keep going! Mastercard (US): +1-914 249-2000 Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111 Visa (US + Can): +1 (650) 432-3200 Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440 PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000 Mastercard (Aus): 1800-120-113 Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372 Mastercard (CA): 1-800-307-7309 Mastercard (UK): 0800-96-4767

If you've ever felt like the walls are closing in on LGBTQ and adult creators: call your payment processors. Finally, there's a coordinated action, a chance to actually push back, but it *has* to be in this present window of time, while the attention is on the issue and the iron is hot.

wish people used pillowfort more... communities are so quiet over there :') and yet they're like the only known self funded social media that is also a safe place for nsfw

Cheat Sheet v.2 nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information imgur link: imgur.com/a/wWaLY2i more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

Pillowfort is one of the few remaining bastions of the old internet sans the nsfw censorship i cannot stress enough how helpful it would be if people gave what they are able to help keep them afloat! <3

Going off the last two posts in re: Pillowfort and the like I know many, many creators that are like “there’s little engagement I can’t grow” and the key thing is you have to drive it somehow. Make or Join communities, direct traffic from bsky, etc. You can’t let the “algo” do it for you

Reminder to people that pillowfort exists Color customizable blogs, no small character limit, and COMMUNITIES You can post to communities without clogging up your personal blog, while interacting with people Specifically into the one topic And a variety of per-post viewing options

I'm gonna be annoying for a second. But, like, please support Pillowfort if you value your ability to be a freak on the internet. They're relatively guarded from the current payment processor censorship campaign because they have one that specializes in high-risk content (at the cost of higher fees)

In all this "porn ban" terribleness, the independent websites that fight to stay afloat so that queer content can have a safe home are extra important. Pillowfort, Archive of Our Own, FurAffinity, and the like.

Here’s a multi pillowfort invites: pillowfort.social/users/sign_u... Feel free to use them💖

there is no reason to submit to the censorship and othering of adult & queer content lying down, even if it doesn't affect you (yet)! the time to push back is right now, don't let them shift the window on what's "acceptable" again, fuck that. Queer and adult content is part of a healthy internet

Why are AI LLM's being shoved into everything? Because they need more of your data. They've scraped the internet clean and need more. These "AI devices" are nothing more than data harvesting systems with a cute face. DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM. They're like vampires but for your data.
