So, Pillowfort?

Do any of you all think it has promise?

I mean, I'm right there when it comes to supporting fannish stuff: that's why I do Kickstarter and Patreon. But a social media site needs to have some stuff going on, and I'm not feeling super creative right now.

I'm on PF right now (I was in one of the beta waves) and it's fairly quiet -- which I like, frankly -- but that means it's hard to find people to add / follow if you don't want to join one of the big comms explicitly for friending people. I really do like the autistic comm they've set up there, it's a good insular place to discuss things and ask questions and get to know other autistic folks.

Overall I would say yes? Even if you're not creating fanwork or original fiction there are still things like the Blanket Boxes ( community for that here if it lets non-users see ) which are pretty rad.
