how populated is pf now?

I replied:

I’m not sure. I’ve only ever used it to talk to a handful of friends, so it’s hard to judge the overall site.

tree responded to this post:

that’s so funny because i, too, was recently reminded that pillowfort existed, and i logged in, and… nope. i still hate it. but i paid my $5, gosh darn it, so that account is gonna sit there until either the site becomes useable for me or we all go up in flames. :D

I replied:

I laughed bc I’d actually thought for a moment, “huh, I wonder what tree thinks of it here? hm, she probably hates it.”

tree responded:

i probably should not feel all warm and fuzzy about being known for hating things but i don’t care. :)

I replied:

lolol, I am a patchwork of resentments great and small, so reasoned hatreds is a quality I can respect :P

One of the nice things about Pillowfort is I can change my icon without feeling existentially troubled

Tagged: #i changed this one [ETA 3/12/2024: i.e., my usual Tumblr icon since 2011 or so] for a brief while once and just had to go back #it wasn't Right #even though i chose this in a rush #but i just changed my j/c icon [ETA: Jyn/Cassian] to d/e [ETA: Darcy/Elizabeth] bc i'm on an austen kick right now and it's nice to see the new one #though it would be NICER if we could have icon collections and select them for individual posts *cough*

[ETA 3/12/2024: I'm kind of giggling at my obvious reference to Dreamwidth's icon supremacy. I don't think I even have my Tumblr icon (which is a greyscale promo image of Leia in ANH with her giant blaster) uploaded here. I do have 293 other ones, though, including the Pillowfort one I was talking about!]

I'm not raising my hopes much in terms of the long-term, but I am glad that Pillowfort is going to make its immediate goal (it's got a bit over 39k now) and I figure I'll try it once I get paid.
