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.

People don't want VC or ads, but they also don't want to pay, and they also somehow wants small staffs of volunteers to have the same capacity for development and management that companies backed by massive corporations do. There's never gonna be a perfect social media site. Tumblr just crossed the line from "imperfect" to "unacceptable".

That pretty much encapsulates the whole thing in a nutshell, I'd say. *applauds*

Sure, and I mean I'm still using Pillowfort. But this stuff isn't immediately obvious.
