Welcome to Ballpit.org, the worst social media site ever 😭

What is it?

It's a small coding project I wanted to make for awhile and finally did in my free time. It's designed to be stupid and useless.

What are the features of Ballpit.org?

This is the goodness the people are clamoring for!

You only get one post at a time.
Images are down-sampled to a color-limited gif.
Low character limit.
No videos.
No links.
No comments section.
No direct messaging.
No endless scroll (pages as so back).

I guess there are a few things I added that are actually pretty nice.

Powerful user and tag blocking.
Silly and pointless emoji reactions.
Simple reverse chronological feed.
You can follow users by "bumping" their posts to the top of your feed.
Some fun markdown controls like rainbows and different fonts!
Obviously no ads and no datamining.
Some fun little toys .

If you have a suggestion or a request for a feature, make your post ask for it and tag it with "suggestion box" and maybe I'll look into it. No promises.

Code of Conduct

I am the supreme arbiter of the shit on this site. Here's the policy 👇

Ballpit is a stupid and useless website more akin to show-and-tell than social media. That doesn't mean I don't care what goes on here.

Shit that won't be tolerated includes and isn't limited to:

racism
sexism
homophobia
transphobia
aphobia
nationalism
ageism
lookism
being a shit in general

Any intolerance or disrespect of:

size
gender identity
sexual identity
disability
education
cultural background

Despite being a poorly-coded learning experience website, I want my friends to feel nice here, should they decide to interact with it.

If you use this site at all, you agree to abide by the policy. Simple as.
