stuck up white woman who hates being around people especially people of colour: I should be…a nurse…some kind of…caretaker…a high-empathy based role of sorts…
Stuck up white man who believes no one is ever right but him: I should be…a doctor…a police man, perhaps..some kind of job where I must listen without bias to solve the problem ..
I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis

Tumblr is apparently doing some crazy nonsense again, so it seems like a good time to remind everyone that Pillowfort.io is a new social media platform that aims to give users control of their content and how it’s seen and shared, as well as provide better communication tools to promote conversation and creativity. If this sounds good to you, you can donate $5 to our PayPal and you will receive a registration link the Friday after your donation. And if you decide the site isn’t for you, you can request a refund for up to three weeks after you sign up. (All money we receive through this process is going towards paying our hosting expenses and compensating our programmers.)
To reply to those who asked what pillowfort is – pillowfort.io is a Tumblr-like platform that has been growing of late. About a week ago, they discovered some major security issues and they took the page down to address those (and kudos to them to recognize the problem and addressing it head one), but they’ll be re-opening on either Tuesday or Wednesday this week (12/4 or 12/5). Both mod unforth and mod whistlingwindtree already have accounts there, and we will be cross-hosting MCU Kink Bingo round 3 on both platforms, so if you have a pillowfort account and are uncomfortable with posting your works to Tumblr, we strongly encourage you to consider pillowfort as an alternative platform. We’ll post more information and links once the site is back up and we can access that information.

okay, so here’s one alternative: pillowfort.
Oh btw this was how livejournal died
Alternatives to Tumblr if Yahoo goes any further
- Soup.io – well-known alternative to Tumblr. Reblogging, post types, themes, collab blogs, dashboard, artsy, great community already there. Soup can auto-import everything you’ve posted on Tumblr.
- TypePad – Includes reblogging. Dashboard and post types similar to Tumblr.
- Jux – Artful posts, beautiful blogging experience
Reblogging cause one day it just may be neccessary.
It became necessary

Fuck this shit!!!!! The KEY THING that separated Tumblr from all the other soulless ~social media~platforms was its acceptance of sex as a normal part of the human experience. Tumblr was never the sterile, censored, curated fantasy that fb and ig and twitter all enforced; We made our own “adult content”, directly supported sex workers, contributed to and viewed porn that ACTUALLY REPRESENTED us independent of the hetero male gaze. I learned SO MUCH about my own sexuality by engaging with actual lesbians and queer-created content on tumblr. It was a much safer place to explore sexuality because it was THE ONLY majority-women erotic platform on the WHOLE INTERNET. God. This is infuriating. Where the fuck are we supposed to go? What the fuck are sex workers supposed to do? Where in the goddam actual FUCK are women and gay/queer people supposed to experience sexual community? This is some fucking conservative bullshit. I can’t believe it.
THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!
Have you joined pillowfort? Why or why not?
I personally don’t have a Pillowfort account yet, but my partner does and she has let me look at her account fully to see what it is like. I’ve also viewed Pillowfort’s demo account which is linked to on their Kickstarter. I am waiting with anticipation when I can make my own account, but right now Pillowfort is in a closed beta which means the only people who have access to the site are ones who have been given special registration links. They were doing waves of free beta accounts a bit ago (which is how my partner got her account), but right now for every $5 you pledge to their Kickstarter you will receive a registration key if the Kickstarter gets fully funded (they are as of today 40% of the way to their $39,900 goal).
Here is why I’m excited for Pillowfort:
- If you delete your original posts, every reblogged version will be deleted too. Edit your original post and the changes will appear on every reblog,
- The ability to make posts visible to everyone, just followers, just mutuals, or just yourself.
- A functional blacklist where you can blacklist a post body & tags or just tags.
- A terms of service that explicitly states you hold all rights to your own intellectual property. It also states clearly that it forbids callout posts, doxxing, degradation, harassing, hate groups, spamming of tags with unrelated or offensive material, and slurs against minorities. If there is a user that is doing anything offensive or hateful, it is encouraged and mandated you don’t make posts about it and instead flag it and let the site moderators take care of it. This sort of system cuts down on “dashboard drama” and harassment that sites like Tumblr are known for.
- They have threaded comments which means discussions or praise no longer clog up your posts and your blog, keeping things much more organized and clean. We can also use tags for their ACTUAL purpose, tagging of posts for ease of search and organization instead of talking.
- They have communities and a more connected user-based and user-led environment.
- Posts in chronological order like they should be!
- A staff that actually cares about the input of their members and is driven to listen and collaborate with their members to create a site that the users actually want instead of being led by a corporation that has their own agendas in mind.
- A staff that wants to avoid corporate involvement, unwanted ads, and selling of user info to fund Pillowfort.
- The future possibilities of what the staff can do with the site that we didn’t dream could be possible to have all in one place including accessibility and a functional mobile app.
So far, I’ve seen a lot of good things and I’ve been really impressed with how the staff is handling the site and how they have explained their plans for the future of Pillowfort.
If you say you really want a social media site that actually cares about their users, this is it. This is your chance to have what pretty much all of us want. This new blogging platform is all the best parts of Tumblr (and for those who miss Livejournal this is like a wedding between Tumblr and Livejournal) with all the parts we hate and loathe about the site scraped out of it.
If you like everything that you’ve read about Pillowfort.io, please pledge to their Kickstarter. Even $5 can help and it will get you a registration link to get on Pillowfort yourself if the Kickstarter gets fully funded.
If you can’t support Pillowfort monetarily, then please, please reblog, tweet, share, and spread it about everywhere you can.
This is our chance to have a social media made with us in mind and it’s already starting out so well with 10,000 users in the closed beta. Let’s bring it to the next stage of its life!
