| ▲ | trueno 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | i encountered it once. it felt like tumblr though i kept running into weird furry cartoon porn. im sure this site has a lot of valuable media on it, woulda been cool if they just handed a backup over to internet archives. | | |

| ▲ | nkrisc an hour ago | parent [-] | | Yeah that’s the problem with sites like these. They just turn into furry porn and drive everyone else away. |

| At first I thought this was a Fediverse instance, but it seems like it was its own isolated thing? Shame. |

| https://www.vice.com/en/article/buzzy-new-social-media-site-... It was like AI slop pre AI. Great traction with the nsfw stuff but failed to capitalize on it. |

| Another lo-fi site trying to create friendly community without corporate greed bites the dust, in this case apparently due to burnout on the part of the main person running it. I hadn't used Pillowfort much but did browse and explore some blogs on there and it seemed like a positive community. Always sad to see stuff like this happen. |

| I wonder if why people rejected the site is because there seems to be no way tos scroll the page? |
