Good bye 👋
With the new policy by Tumblr I think it’s best that I go on a hiatus as posting beautiful pictures of panties and women wearing panties will not be tolerated.
So I say goodbye to all my followers and hope to meet them somewhere we can all enjoy our love for panties
I to will discontinue any posts. I loved it here because I could indulge with those of a similar mind without all the commercialism. To all my fellow travelers. Goodbye and may we meet again.

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!
This is probably where I’m going! More updates to come!
Honestly, this looks like a great alternative.
ooh la la
J'Accuse!
We can’t in good conscience condone or support Tumblr’s recent decision to arbitrarily remove and censor any and all content they deem “adult” in nature! Especially since their definition is so broad, that anything remotely resembling naked skin is potentially subject to censorship and deletion. They have already begun rolling out their faulty algorithms, and so far we have had several posts “flagged” that didn’t even come close to depicting anything “adult”, let alone nude.
Nudity in and of itself is not sexual. The naked human body has been portrayed in art throughout all the ages of Man - at least since the Upper Paleolithic over 30,000 years ago. It is the single most common depiction of the Human Being in all art forms since the very dawn of civilization. While we absolutely understand the need to crack down on unlawful pornographic material, tumblr’s decision to wipe out nudity in all its forms across the site is an act of extreme overreaction and overreach. It takes away the very freedom of artistic expression which attracts people to this site in the first place. And to add insult to injury, they leave this monumental task of grotesque censorship to a mindless code - an algorithm that can’t even tell the difference between a human foot and someone’s naughty bits.
Is this what the internet will ultimately come down to in the end? 30,000 years of human expression stomped out by a line of corporate computer code, because a bunch of frightened shareholders are more prudish and uptight than the entire Victorian temperance movement put together?
We foresee that this awful decision by tumblr will vastly reduce the number of users and ultimately spell the end of the site down the line. We can only recommend that anyone who disagrees with this destructive choice, voice their objections directly to the staff as we have done.
And spread the word!
REBLOG IF YOU’RE A NSFW BLOG
We all have seen the Tumblr communicate about forbidding nsfw blogs or those which have “adult” posts.
They think it won’t cause them any harm, but we are a really big part of the community. Let’s act and tell the staff that tumblr will slowly die after taking this decision. Follow these steps:
- First of all, REBLOG THIS POST, so any NSFW blog can post and see it.
- Give tumblr the worst mark at the App Store or Play Store
- Write a negative comment about how they’re banning accounts and censoring the freedom of expression.
- Purpose as a comment below a new site to move as a NSFW community.
If you do this before the 17 of December, we can change this decision. Let’s make the staff hear us. Make tumblr great again, a free place for free minds and free content!!
Personally, I enjoyed every single moment here at tumblr, and I appreciate everyone of my followers and blogs that I follow. If they delete my account… It was a pleasure to know you all. But we can still change this!!!
Regards!
I fully endorse this!
