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.

> This is, genuinely, the hardest decision I have ever made in my life

May we all be blessed with lives where shutting down the small blogging platform we've lost interest in running is the hardest decision we ever have to make.

But they're not closing a hobby project. They're shutting down a business, laying off staff and ending a service that people were paying for. That should always be a hard decision.

It was like AI slop pre AI. Great traction with the nsfw stuff but failed to capitalize on it.
