This lil fella is as friendly as a puppy. It’s actually seeking attention. Only attempted hand feeding em twice. Also the eldest of the 4 and likely half English budgie. These are only the second batch of babies that I’ve ever had and the first was only one chick who got a lot more attention and was never this friendly. Very excited to have at least one bird that doesn’t require so much effort to win over!
LOOK AT THIS PRECIOUS, SMOL CHILD TRYING TO WILL ITSELF THROUGH AN INVISIBLE FORCE FIELD TO SAY HELLO OOOH MY HEART
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.
yes this
most of the criticism i’ve seen of pf so far ultimately come back to this
is it an alright platform with a good community? yes. does it have a lot of potential? yes. does it have a lot of problems still being worked out? yes. are the staff open and responsive? absolutely. do i recommend it? yes, if you’re willing to live in a house while it’s being built.
but it’s not a ready-made replacement for tumblr. set your expectations accordingly.
Yes. If you get an invite and move to Pillowfort, then be a good and patient beta user. It takes time to shape the User Experience for a social media platform, and the backend will likely experience some issues with increased use.
That means that you’ll probably want to maintain at least two blogs while PF matures.
when will cis people learn that couching cissexist concepts in vaguely trans-aware language just makes you sound deliberately cissexist as opposed to accidentally
Like if it wasn’t obvious that dumbasses like jacksepticeye, jontron, markiplier and pewdiepie all exist within the same circle of people and have a distinct interest in keeping each other at the top before, it should be now. And they’re all shit, each one of them. I don’t know if jack or mark said nasty shit like jon or felix did but the fact that they STILL support them, that they STILL actively shill for them shows that they are at least ok with supporting white nationalists if it means staying popular. I havent watched mark or jack in a while, but my young [below 15 yr old] brother does and it makes me so fucking mad that these dumb, uncaring fucks are willingly funneling kids towards racists like jon and felix for big bucks.
And of course of COURSE the people constantly defending these people are either literal children who have been TRAINED via this “bro army” nonsense to consider “liking pewdiepie” a personality trait and are woefully ignorant to the bigger picture because THEY ARE CHILDREN, or dumb whites or affluent types who consider consistently bigoted behavior a passable, easily forgivable thing that those darn minorities just won’t let up on.
So my advice is, if you’re a kid, know that this man is a
He does not deserve praise or fame, only scorn and removal. And if you’re an adult fan of his defending his shit, go fuck yourself. Now.
I get it, I used to be super into mark and jack and all of these folks but you HAVE to not let your rose-tinted glasses get in the way of the truth. Felix and Jon are racists and nasty, Mark and Jack actively profit from supporting them and their actions. I don’t care if they don’t actively say this shit, this is what they mean. Take it or leave it.
