Pillowfort is a platform for individuals and groups to share and discuss content. Pillowfort is committed to providing an environment that is open and authentic and allows users and members to share with the entire platform, or just a small group of friend. We also demand of ourselves and our community members that we ensure Pillowfort is a platform where respect for others is the primary value by which we all abide.

Prohibited Content and Conduct

Pillowfort is a platform that endeavors to welcome a wide-range of content. But there are types of content which Pillowfort does not allow anywhere on its platform. Prohibited content and conduct includes:

1. Content or conduct that violates any local, state, federal, national or international law, or that encourages or incites illegal activity.
2. Content that encourages or incites violence.

6. Intentionally harassing, bullying, intimidating, or stalking other users, or intentionally attempting to do the same.
7. Creating content, communities, or making any other use of the Services for the purpose of spreading accusations or condemnation of other Pillowfort users. If a user has done something worthy of being removed from the site, do not engage in any conduct to bring the user community against that user. You instead should report that user to a moderator or administrator.
8. Content or conduct that disparages another user’s racial, religious, gender, or sexual identity, or mental or physical disability or condition; or that disparages these identities or conditions generally.
9. Content that promotes the ideology of, or attempts to recruit for, groups that promote discrimination against racial, religious, gender, or sexual identity, or mental or physical disability or condition.

11. Sexually explicit artwork that features
    • fictional characters who appear pre-pubescent; or
    • fictional characters who otherwise can be definitively and reasonably identified as minors, and lacks legitimate artistic, political, literary, or scientific value.
    This section applies to visual content such as illustrations, drawings, paintings, comics, digitally-generated images, and related visual content that appears to (1) show a minor engaged in sexual conduct or (2) show a minor with exposed genitalia in a way that is intended to sexualize them.
12. Posting non-explicit, sexually suggestive images of minors; or posting sexually suggestive or explicit commentary concerning real minors, i.e. as a caption to a photo of a minor or in reference to a public figure who is a minor.
13. Images created through the use of generative AI programs such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and Dall-E.
14. Content that is involuntary pornography, including but not limited to “revenge porn.” This includes "deepfakes" or other digitally altered pornographic images depicting someone who did not consent to having their likeness used in this way.
15. Content that infringes any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property or proprietary information of another.
16. Content or conduct that misleadingly or deceptively impersonates another.
17. Content that is intended primarily for reliance by others relevant to any financial trading or investing.
18. Content that is spam.
19. Abusing the flagging system (i.e. intentionally flagging posts in bad faith to interrupt the functioning of the moderation system, harass users, etc.).
