unspeakablehorrorWell, Pillowfort was up for a bit but now it is down again. Maybe the upgrade needs some adjustments. One reason I am on multiple social media sites is because I do not think it is unusual for a small social media site to have more extended downtime for some things. And I am certainly not going back to any of the big social media sites. Pillowfort has also had extended downtime before. I don't know how long this downtime will be--perhaps it's just a few minor things to work out. I guess I'll find out in time.
The other thing is that smaller social media sites could at some point be completely abandoned either due to the creator losing interest or no longer having the resources to maintain it. For example there was a site called NewTumbl that I only know about because it apparently abruptly shut down for good at some point and I started seeing people from there joining Pillowfort. While none of the sites I've chosen have shut down yet, nothing is forever. Even big sites have a lifecycle, even if their end tends to be much more drawn out.
