I'm deeply concerned about the new rules on pillowfort, the fact that they banned an artist already, the use of the words "good faith" and "bad faith" in their discussion (good faith specifically is one of the terms we have issue with in the Article 13 situation), the precedent it sets and the arguments happening in the comments. Oh, and all the people who seem more offended that people are disrespecting the staff/the beta than the nature of the site's response to these issues.

As an example: If they want to get an app in the app store, they're gonna have to play by exactly the same rules, and this is an example of the actions they're going to take when they need to change them. It doesn't bode well.

Do go and read Dreamwidth's policy explained here. Note Denise's way of responding to those issues, with the experience of years of discussing and policing those issues.

I am leaving tumblr because I stand with the community and I stand with artists. If Pillowfort is going to treat artists just as unprofessionally based on the content they're producing, and on a whim, then I can't justify going there either. Which is frustrating af because people seem determined to go. Twitter offered no reprieve. If anything the influx of new users only made the wankstorm more profound and it's an even worse place to be than it was before.

Also I can barely load pillowfort, so... Guess I'm resolved. Dreamwidth or bust.

I'm still hedging my bets; i've got blogs on both, will be cross-posting on both for the time being. There are things i like better about one over the other; neither are perfect.

Is there a way to auto-cross post or are you doing it manually?

At the moment, doing manually. There looks like there might be a way to crosspost from WordPress (I just set that up, haven't tried it yet).

But in general, for my original content-stuff, I type everything up in Word or Gdocs first, and then copy paste into Tumblr (previously) and PF/DW (now), so copy-paste into a couple blogs isn't that much more work than doing it in one blog. And that means I already have a backup copy on my computer/gdrive should something happen to the blog site I'm on (having lived through FFN and LJ Strike through, I've always kept backups of my original content stuff)

That's fair and understandable stance. Right now, everything feels pretty up in the air. I hope the dust settles sooner rather than later and we can see where the chips have landed. The uncertainty of the fandom migration (or lack of migration) is the really frustrating part to me.

I'm torn; on one hand, I've spent 5 years on Tumblr, I have built up followers, I've cultivated my dash, there's a lot of content, I'm familiar with it. I stayed on LJ for years after Strikethrough because that's where my friends were (my RP fandom peeps, we went elsewhere, but for chatting with my friends, we stayed on LJ). I don't want to have to start over.

On the other hand, I don't like what Tumblr is doing, and I don't want to condone their actions.

So at the moment, I'm everywhere, I'm trying to help build communities here, at Pillowfort, maintain my Tumblr. See what happens, where people go, try to help support the new options.

I was just thinking this today too. Um....why are we still acting like its business as usual, people. But I guess the average user age on Tumblr maybe skews younger and they're not ready to leave yet. For me, I'm like, well, the writing's on the wall. Plus, although I can enjoy Tumblr, the pace of constant input is overwhelming sometimes. I like my reading page here so much better.

me too. which is why I just deleted. I don't want to support it. I will not support. I even trawled through my email addresses and discovered I had 5 tumblrs, so they are all deleted as well, even though they were SFW.
