Some posts about issues with Pillowfort

Pillowfort bans someone for NSFW content in a very hamfisted way

Expect anything you do on Pillowfort.io to be publicly-visible and temporary

Also see: VidMe or Why Platforms Aren't Your Friends (which someone posted to tumblr with some Pillowfort commentary but I didn't save the post)

I do get that a good replacement for tumblr would be amazing right now, and Pillowfort seems the closest on the surface. And I'm really enjoying having active lj/dw style communities posting lots of art. But I would not trust the site in the short or long term.

Hmmm. I really want to sign up to Pillowfort, but their latest TOS flip (and also watching the entire Kuroshitsuji fandom break apart) has made me so wary now. I also just don't understand the arbitrariness of pulling some kinds of art but then not also noncon or incest, or just moving straight to a censorship model, and maybe they will feel the same way and flip themselves on the matter.

I do have like 4 keys there waiting for me to use (and share) when I'm ready. I don't think it helps that PF is currently closed to new registrations, making them not actually appealing as an exodus site right now. I don't know, I'm still waiting it out to see what will happen. *sighs* But I really appreciate the links and the updates! You always have access to good information on these matters, and I feel have far more awareness of what might be happening around the place than I do. I pick up fragmented bits and pieces.

I'm glad they were useful!

Right. A site willing to flip so suddenly and opaquely on one thing will probably do it again on another.

What happened with Kuroshitsuji fandom?
