so that creep from pillowfort is still doing its thing
as previously seen here, here, here.... im not in the business of indexing every single one of a user's posts (and frankly do not have the brain energy to do so) so you can just track it down on the pillowfort cohost tag if you want to
anyway, this time it's about the influx of tumblr users
i dont even disagree with all of its observations all of the time, and certainly there is value of analyzing and thinking about how we use services to socialize, and how the design of those mediums influences how that happens
but the way it approaches these threads like some kind of wildlife documentary studying and reporting on us like some kinda rare exotic animals, or players in its little character drama, and the way pillowfort users seemingly follow in fascination, without most involved parties ever actually participating here, feels intrusive and extremely voyeuristic
i also believe its presentation of these posts in a neutral, purportedly objective (again, "documentarian") tone is misleading - while it's impossible to say what's going on in another person's head, the way it talks about the site suggests, to me, that it has a negative bias. and while that's perfectly fine (i certainly do not like every platform out there), it's at odds with how it presents these posts
furthermore, i do not believe that it is at all qualified to comment on any part of this site's culture, only lurking here and never engaging with anyone except when trying to dig up drama to report on
its account here is @osteophage
i suggest you block it if any of this rubs you the wrong way. if it is indeed operating in good faith, i trust that it would not evade blocks to engage in further "reporting" against your will
