Another lo-fi site trying to create friendly community without corporate greed bites the dust, in this case apparently due to burnout on the part of the main person running it. I hadn't used Pillowfort much but did browse and explore some blogs on there and it seemed like a positive community. Always sad to see stuff like this happen.

I wonder if why people rejected the site is because there seems to be no way tos scroll the page?

You have to accept the cookie notice. If your user agent hides the notice there's probably no way to do that.

Seems kind of cool actually. Unfortunate that this is the way I heard about it.
