Admin Post: Discussion Post: What are you yearning to Pillowpost?

[prettyarbitrary]

First a bit of comm business:
The What do you want from this community poll is still open. I'll let it run for another day or so. We have over 25 members (already!) and less than half have voted, so if you've got opinions, feel free to make them known!

But so far, there's strong consensus in favor of:

• "Connect with other Pillowforters"


• "Updates/conversation about Pillowfort"


• "Members can post things into the community"


• "Conversation starter posts from the mod"

So let's get started with those discussion posts! Our first topic: What do you wish you could post on Pillowfort?

What's the most recent thing that had you thinking, "I should make a post about that?" Or the thing that's overpoweringly making your fingers twitch because you keep thinking about it and have nowhere to put it?

Tell us in the comments here--or heck, make your own community post about it!

(Fun fact: on DW, you can track comments for a post or comment thread! If there's a convo you'd like to follow, look along the bottom of the post or comment for the 'Track this' icon--it might look like a little bell--and click it to turn tracking on or off. If you add tracking for a comment, then you'll get notified of any comments made in the thread from that comment on down. You can find all your notification settings in Account Settings>Notifications, where you can turn them off at any time.)

Nah, you can make the one about loforo and pond if you want! I have other stuff I want to write that even if I did want to write posts about those sites, it wouldn’t be a priority and it would take too long to get to.

Also:

vent post about this annoying move I've noticed with some people's metacommentary

This has me intrigued 👀

Hahah I'm curious about the metacommentary thing too.

Ah that one was just going to be one of those simple three-sentence sort of posts, and for the life of me I can't find the example I saw earlier today that-- Oh no wait, here we go. It was this critical analysis of Harry Potter. Note, the actual main argument/primary contents of this post aren't what bothers me. I think it's overall pretty decent. Take a look through it, though, and see if you can spot the point where I quit reading to go jot down some irritated notes. Hint: it's something quick and small and toward the end.

The only thing that stands out to me is the inappropriate use of the word 'receipts.'
