Pillowfort wants to be the Tumblr alternative, but it’s not ready yet

Recommended Posts

Tumblr users are on the brink of an exodus. In the search for a new home, many are pointing toward a relatively new and unheard-of website to house its orphans: Pillowfort.

Pillowfort is a young, blog-centric social platform inspired by early LiveJournal communities and Tumblr fans. People can post their photos, written text, illustrations, and GIFs, and share those creations with others. There are options for both public and private settings, but the site is designed to allow people to spread their work, connect with like-minded individuals, and create communities — including ones that appreciate sexual writing and imagery.

Now, it’s being thrust into the spotlight ahead of Tumblr’s decision to remove “adult content,” a controversial change met with scorn from its impassioned community. But Pillowfort remains a work in progress. Since launching on Kickstarter and Indiegogo earlier this year, Pillowfort has only rolled out beta invites to a small group of people for testing. And although it’s active, the site is often barely functional, according to people who have used the service over the past couple of months.

As people look for a new website to host their writing and photos, Pillowfort is the name on everyone’s tongue. Thousands of requests have flooded the team’s inbox since Tumblr made its announcement on Monday, the site’s leader says. It’s unclear, however, whether a site without a dedicated development team that’s still in its early planning stages and is unprepared for an influx of users can act as a suitable replacement for Tumblr’s vibrant communities and millions of users.... etc.

Pornography of any kind is detrimental to society, especially child porn.

dont know why people are so sad that they can’t watch porn on one site, or draw pictures of dicks. And for those who were sex workers, make a Twitter and link a fans only. 

Problem solved!

We all already moved to Twitter so moo1

 

They tried ny1 

It's really hard to compensate Twitter for Tumblr, tho. Their interfaces are totally different and Twitter is just... less organized and personalized, tbh. Idk anything about Pillowfort but the move to Twitter is probably temporary for people, until we get a real replacement.

I don't disagree with you on child porn, but I refuse to believe a human being enjoying two consenting adults (or more) perform sexual acts is "detrimental" to society. jj2
