What if all of this was homestuck flavoured?

Introducing: homestuck.fr

A small, homestuck-centric social media.

Cool things it has:

Custom CSS themes and limited HTML in posts. No need to take a pic of those pesterlogs you crafted on homestuck5+, just post them directly

Custom emojis and emoji reactions. Like in discord

Asks!!

No character limit

Supports images, videos, audio and PDF, with no number of media limit. Also, inline images

Tags under posts

Reply control

User-defined pronouns next to username. No need to check someone's bio to learn their pronouns anymore

Connect to the fediverse, a network of other social medias

Opt-in Bluesky. Yes, you can interact with bluesky users just like if you had a bluesky account*

Post visibility control. Choose if your posts can be seen by the wider internet, or be for your follower eyes only

Filtering and extensive content warning system

You can post hole (if you slap a content warning on it)

Moderation that doesn't blast you into oblivion for being trans and takes a month to respond to every other report

Also there's an app

A small precision: sign-ups are reserved to people 18 and over for now.

I hope to see you there soon. :)

if you are a linux blog or interested in linux, consider checking out this website: linuxposting.xyz

a collaborative effort from some linux blogs :3

you should probably also consider joining us on our wafrn instance in the fediverse

Also, I'm there.

So Pillowfort does not have reblog chains: https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/7387079

Pillowfort doesn't have reblog chains. You're expected to interact with people in the comment section of a post. This is an adjustment but it brings tons of benefits for site culture, and Staff plans to add a feature similar to reblog chains in the future, called 'featured comments'. Remember to post and share to communities. There's no algorithm and people don't check tags often. Most everyone uses communities and comment sections to follow new people!

But honestly? Having a stable platform that's not throwing unwanted changes at its userbase, is user funded and is against GenAI is just... a nice breath of fresh air. Pillowfort is not Tumblr, but it allows long posts, tags, read mores and if you like comments, they go a long way!

And if you really want reblog chains (from the above link):

Addition: if you absolutely need tumblr style reblog chains, Wafrn may be right for you. It's basically a skin on top of Bluesky and Mastodon, but it's really well executed and has a great indie team behind it. The tumblr feel is impressively recreated.

I haven't tried out Wafrn cause I have too many places already to keep track of, but if Tumblr is really breaking now, then I might as well try it out if folks are heading there...? (Followers/and the like, feel free to let me know!)

Also, here's a how to get started on Pillowfort when coming from Tumblr: https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/186448

And of course, a 50 Multi-use invite link! Given the chaos of Tumblr's post notifications changing...DM me if all the invite uses get used up??

Plus the animosity towards other transgender people (transgender men) is just crazy

And this shit only happens on bluesky and tumblr, so seriously, I don't know what's going on, but I think someone is giving transgender women mind-altering substances… Or they're bots…

Seriously, this is a disturbing phenomenon that can only be seen on these two sites. I don't have a bluesky, but considering that the drama on KOG started there, and I've also heard about transphobia from transgender women towards non-binary people, it shows a very disturbing phenomenon… Just like ableism in the queer and black communities, this issue is fucking ignored

And that one radical feminist who is a trans woman attacked wafrn for blocking her account because she broke fediverse rules (she wrote "I hate men, including trans men"), and many other out-of-touch people joined her… Don't you think you've gone too far and are just ruining trans women's lives and giving shit like TERFs new arguments to attack? Seriously, that's fucked up

You're not fighting oppression, you're aiding and abetting oppression, you've literally been brainwashed into thinking non-binary people aren't transgender enough and you don't treat them as part of your identity (What do LGB tefras do to transgender people), the first victims were non-binary people, you're literally doing to them the same thing queer people do to get rid of transgender people

How are you any different from queer people who want to get rid of transgender people? You're just as hypocritical
