Strongly considering leaving Tumblr for Pillowfort

I have been having a LOT of trouble lately with obnoxious ads which autoplay audio. No matter how many times I have submitted @support requests to @staff/@wip about it, they have failed to offer me any meaningful help and have clearly outright refused to actually fix the problem through any of the routes available to them as the company that runs the damn website. My user experience is bad and it's starting to outpace any remaining benefit I get from using the site.

I paid the $5 for a Pillowfort join code back in 2018 when we all thought Tumblr was going to die, but never activated it. From what I understand it's easier to get in for free now as they have expanded beyond a closed beta, but if I move I will happily share invite codes I receive with folks here who want to follow me over. They offer a lot of the same social functionality as Tumblr, but with a lot more control over privacy/who can interact with you and other issues that matter to me - and they're user supported, so no ads to cause this problem in the first place.

More info if you want to have a look around:

(Especially if you're reading this on one of my sideblogs) I'd love it if y'all would leave a comment in the replies regarding your thoughts on whether you'd be interested in moving as well. I know our fandoms are pretty dug in here on tunghell.gov but the malicious ads and the bots and the numerous other problems/dysfunctionalities this site has really are pushing me to my fucking limit.

Personalized User Experiences

Personalization is becoming increasingly important in interface design, as users expect tailored experiences that cater to their individual needs and preferences. Designers are leveraging data-driven insights to create personalized interfaces that adapt to user behavior, offering customized content and recommendations.

Microinteractions and Animations

Microinteractions and animations play a crucial role in enhancing user engagement and delight. From subtle animations to interactive feedback, these microinteractions add personality and charm to interfaces, making them more engaging and enjoyable to use.

Challenges and Considerations

While the future of interface design holds immense promise, it also presents several challenges and considerations for designers and businesses.

Accessibility and Inclusivity

As interfaces become more complex and immersive, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity remains a paramount concern. Designers must prioritize accessibility standards and guidelines to ensure that interfaces are usable by all users, including those with disabilities.

Ethical and Privacy Concerns

With the increasing collection of user data and the proliferation of smart devices, ethical and privacy concerns are becoming more prevalent in interface design. Designers must adhere to ethical principles and privacy regulations to protect user data and maintain trust and transparency.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

As users interact with digital interfaces across a multitude of devices and platforms, ensuring cross-platform compatibility is essential. Designers must optimize interfaces for various screen sizes and devices, providing a seamless and consistent experience across platforms.

they actually didn't get rid of this functionality, they just made it a non intuitive PITA and changed the landing to the permalink (individual post only) rather than the post in situ on the blog that made it (older posts visible in chrono order if you scrolled)

It works for reblogs too, click the same area on the reblog comment you want to go to

This isn't a defense or endorsement of staff just an attempt to help out the folks trapped in here with me

not joking I would kind of like to brutally murder whoever thought it was a good idea to take away clicking on a person’s name to see their reblog and make it borderline impossible to get to the original version of a post without spending ten minutes scrolling with ctrl f

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
