Roleplaying Pros and Cons [Pillowfort Edition]
NSFW POSTS ARE ALLOWED. I mean, hello?? This is super beneficial to those who enjoy writing smut and the whole nine yards. You can also toggle the Show NSFW Posts feature on and off for those of you who are uncomfy with NSFW stuff!
MUTUALS IS EMBEDDED BY DEFAULT. You get to see by default who you are mutuals with unlike Tumblr where you, unfortunately, have to install New Xkit just to find out who you are mutuals with.
THE QUEUE FUNCTION EXISTS. It has a queue system just like Tumblr for those of us who rely heavily on this function.
WHO YOU CAN RECEIVE DIRECT MESSAGES FROM. Unlike Tumblr, you can choose between NO ONE // MUTUALS ONLY // FOLLOWERS ONLY // ANYONE. This is a step in the right direction IMHO.
UNLIMITED TEXT. Well, sort of. It's a looooot bigger than Tumblr's by literal tenfolds, I kid you not. The same is equally true with the tagging system tbh.
FILTERS & BLACKLIST ACTUALLY WORKS. Unlike, you know, Tumblr. RIP. You can blacklist just Tags or go the Post Body and Tags route and you're good to go.
THE BLOCK FUNCTION ACTUALLY WORKS. I'll just copy/paste what @robot-horde said in their post: When you block someone you will not see any of their posts, even if someone you follow reblogs their post. They can’t see anything from you either.
YOU CAN ADD IMAGES IN THE COMMENTS. I mean, hello?? How awesome is that?! There's also no character limit, so there's that!
AESTHETICS (subjective). If you're all about the #AestheticsFTW, then you're kinda sorta SOL for the time being. The reason for this is because HTML editing, color coding, etc. aren't exactly a thing yet.
MUSIC & VIDEO EMBEDDING ARE NON-EXISTENT. Yeah, yeah, I know. It sucks. But you need to understand that allowing music, videos, and pretty any file that's HUGE in size costs a lot of money. In fact, cohost having infinite storage for images and such is basically why they shut down when they did. They just didn't have the money to upkeep everything and went into debt.
IMAGE FILE SIZE. Unless if you get a Premium Account, the biggest file size you can upload is 2MB. Lucky for us, it's hella cheap to get a Premium Account (legit only $64.48/year for EVERYTHING but you can also pick and choose what you want).
NO @'ING FUNCTION AVAILABLE. So, in other words, you have to DM your buddies to let them know that you made a starter for them. But after that, you'll at least get notifications for when they reply to your posts so that's something.
NO ASKBOX. This is definitely a huuuuuge drawback for those of us who enjoy receiving asks and whatnot. But it does seem like the staff is genuinely trying to implement this feature later on down the road.
YOU DO HAVE TO ROLEPLAY VIA COMMENTS SECTION (subjective). Since reblogs doesn't allow you to add stuff to it, you do have to roleplay in the comments section. But it's really not as bad as it sounds especially since I've made a tutorial on how to roleplay on here!
LACK OF SIDEBLOGS (subjective). This is extremely problematic to those who rely heavily on having hub blogs and sideblogs as their RP blogs. Worst case scenario, you can just have (what feels like) 50 different blogs and have (what feels like) 50 different web browsers installed like I do. XD
