IDJIT MOVING TO A NEW BLOG! PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ AND SIGNAL BOOST! ❤️

Hey, everyone! Carrie here. As some of you might know, Tumblr has basically completely dismantled my ability to share my edits with the intended communities by blocking me from using tags. The only explanation I have is my blog is permanently marked explicit. I have sent emails, asking that the problem be fixed even before this debacle started and they refuse to respond, leaving me wondering what that will do to my ability to actually share with my fandoms. Editors/gif makers frequently use tags (#spnedit #b99edit #tgpedit etc.) to have their creations seen by a wider audience and my ability to do as much has been completely squandered by Tumblr. This is incredibly upsetting for me considering I’ve been here for for about six years and in that time, I amassed a decent follower base and made many wonderful friends. I do not want to lose that, nor do I want to lose the ability to share my creations with my fandoms, namely the SPN family and have them go virtually unnoticed.

So, I have remade my blog. A fresh start, a brand new tagging system and rebuilding might do me some good and give me the ability to start sharing my edits again as this blog is nice, new and clean. I’m leaving my old blog with over 20,000 posts up as an archive with the tags, old creations and all still in tact and will be switching my url back asap. It’ll take some time to get some posts going and tags filled so I hope you guys can be patient with me. This is the only way I can get Tumblr to stop hiding my posts since support won’t do anything. :(

❤️ If you like what I post and want to continue seeing me on your dashboard, please follow me here and signal boost this post as much as you can! I am going to lose a LOT of followers in the process of this but if you guys can share this to spread the word, it would help a whole lot! ❤️

A Few Things About Pillowfort

Alright so I’ve seen a LOT of opinions and incorrect information all over the place regarding the platform and Im sick of it. What a time to spread misinformation tumblr, never change.

I’m an extreme newbie on pillowfort but I wanted to clear up misconceptions and dumb talking points:

It Doesn’t ‘Cost Money’ in the way you keep suggesting

Pillowfort was a kickstarted platform and it is still in BETA (keep this in mind it’ll come up a lot) - It costs $5 to get a ‘key’ and enter. There are no subscription fees, no secret additional costs, its literally just $5. The cost is there to help support the building of the website, since the website is NOT owned by a giant company (like the one screwing us rn) so the money goes directly into supporting the platform.

I understand there is a barrier for people who are extremely poor or unable to easily make online purchases. They have stated on their twitter that they are looking into ways to make it more accessible right now with Tumblr shutting down the way it is. Also there have been people floating around willing to buy keys for friends, followers, mutuals, etc.

It’s not “Broken” or “Down” and it being offline for MAINTENANCE is a Good Thing

Pillowfort has been offline for a little bit because they are working on fixing security issues, yanno, making sure the website is safe and functioning for its users. Its unfortunate with the timing, considering how many of us are ready to pack up and leave now. They have said they are pushing to have it open Dec 4 or 5.

I’ve seen people say that their servers crashed, or that they dont trust a website that isn’t online 24/7 and thats all hogwash and you know it. Pillowfort is in BETA and they are still building functions and ironing out kinks, thats a GOOD thing. I would rather ride a rollercoaster that shuts down for maintenance for an hour every day rather than ride one that hasn’t been repaired until the tracks literally snap. Pillowfort is new and under construction, you gotta learn to be patient and understanding.

There are PLENTY of people using it and more coming!

I keep seeing people say “but its empty! no one is there!” like yeah Becky, its NEW. But there ARE a lot of people online using it, there are easy to find communities already up and running and with tumblr doing what its doing there are going to be WAY more people showing up. Joining any new social media is going to give you that awkward time where you have only 5 people you follow cause youre not sure how to use it yet, let yourself have those growing pains.

Its Not ‘Ugly’ or ‘Bad’ its UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Gods help me. They are still building the website and have a huge list of things they are looking to implement soon once the foundation is secured. There is transparent blogs from the developers where you can suggest what you would like to see if its not there already. Its NEW its UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

You “Don’t Trust” them? Okay have fun on twitter?

I dont even know what to say to people huffing and saying they dont trust any alternative. Like, do you trust tumblr? Do you? 

The fact is, if you PERSONALLY aren’t interested in another blogging platform that takes the good shit from tumblr and LJ and other sites and makes it new and their own then thats fine. But you dont need to spread misinformation to people to discourage them from trying it for themsleves. 

If you just dont want to use it until its ‘busy’ or whatever, then just shut up, take down everyone’s usernames, go to twitter or facebook or club penguin or whatever, and wait. But please stop spreading misinformation.

Also PLEASE

Pillowfort has accounts on Tumblr and Twitter and have been VERY vocal. Go and read and look into things yourself.

Dear people planning to move to pillowfort:

As someone not involved in the development of pillowfort but am a web developer, I think you should lower your expectations, but not for the reason you think.

Pillowfort is a baby. A newborn. A smol bab. If you were here during the early days of Tumblr, think of that. 

Pillowfort simply cannot be the immediate solution to your woes. It needs to be nurtured and cared for to become a mature and happy adult. 

If you want Pillowfort to work, they’ll need feedback, advice, bug reports, etc. This is a chance to make Pillowfort the Ao3 of Fanfiction.net. It’s not gonna happen overnight, you need to give it time and love and it’ll get there. 

If you don’t want to pay money to get into the beta, that’s ok. It will be open to the public soon enough and you won’t have to pay a dime. Their financial model moving forward sounds good (a subscription fee for super extra features), but even an Ao3 model would work swell for them probably. 

We’re living in an interesting time on the internet. Governments across the world are cracking down on content and yet community run websites are starting to thrive more and more. 

Tumblr once upon a time was what Pillowfort is today, but this time, let’s make sure Pillowfort can stay independent from mega corporations.
