I haven't seen anyone talking about this on tumblr or in the shifting community so thought I'd make a PSA. People are getting their accounts completely banned for no reason. Years of boards lost.
A little while ago, Pinterest fired 95% of their staff and switched to AI. Moderation is completely run by AI. Unfortunately it's not very well trained -- cause you can't feed it illegal obscene imagery in order to train it.
So it's been trained based off of user reports. But the problem is that it can see something like yellow walls in the background of a graphic NSFW image, and then start flagging completely innocent pictures just because they had yellow walls.
And you can be banned for just having pinned a completely innocent image. Not even uploading. Just PINNING an innocent image. Years of making pinterest boards, DR visualization, craft ideas, art references, all GONE.
It doesn't matter how innocent your pins are. And unfortunately, the obscene images aren't even being taken down all of the time. UNFORTUNATELY, all reporting pins does now, is give the AI moderation more feedback to ban innocent users... And then put more obscene images into your feed because you clicked on it to report it.
I've had simple line drawing art tutorials get flagged. As well as a picture of a beach. I'm not banned yet, but it's happening to so many people, it's gonna happen sooner or later. You can try to appeal the ban, but it seems like it only works a small fraction of the time.
So yeah. Wanted to share this because I've seen some of your AMAZING pinterest boards that you've spent so much time on, and I would hate for all that work to be lost.
This is a list of things I've seen ppl get banned for, as well as pins I've had report messages about myself. Might be good to avoid pinning these, or removing these from your boards: -Pins with large areas of skin showing. Doesn't matter if they're technically covered. Bikinis, modeling, ballet dancers, cheerleaders, shirtless men, or paintings with exposed skin -ANIME. Just pins with the anime art style are getting flagged. -Renaissance art images -Rooms with blue walls or yellow walls. -Art references. Yes, even simple line art / general form drawings. -Pictures or drawings where people are close together. Cuddling, kissing, fully clothed, doesn't matter. -Recipes. ??? -You can get a violation for saving a pin from a user that had another one of their pins get flagged. -Pinning images too quickly can get you spam violations.
I'm going to switch over to cosmos.so and refern tbh
All I do is be horny and think about my dr
whenever I come across a post talking about how people below certain ages shouldn't be shifting, I almost agree with it.
but then I remember I was 12-13 when I found about shifting, and how I was in the worst of places mentally.
and that the only thing that kept me going was my belief that shifting was real, even when I doubted my ability in doing so successfully.
and how i'm so much better and it's only cause I continued and didn't give up, and how shifting played such a big role in all of that.
that's why I strongly believe that shifting finds you exactly when you need it most. whether you're 2 or 20, it comes to you when it's meant to.
everything conspires and works to bring it to you, in that exact moment that you find out about it.
so don't let anyone tell you otherwise <3
maturing is realizing that doubts really don’t matter fr. you can doubt as much you want and still manifest bcs: 1. it’s done the moment you decide it and 2. doubts don’t have power unless you let them.
persist, persist, persist. saturate your mind until there’s no room for doubt.
After shifting to a DR, how do memories within that reality feel or recall to the awareness?
In your DR, you’ll remember your CR as a whole, and how it feels will depend on how different your DR and CR are, whether you used a method or LOA and whether it’s your first time shifting or if you’re more experienced.
First, if you’re in your DR, you’ll always remember your CR as a whole. You’ll recall a few details, but not much more than that.
Remembering your CR might feel strange (especially if you used a method, where you’d expect to be "teleported," while with LOA, the shift happens unexpectedly). In any case, as soon as you’re in your DR, recalling your CR will feel odd. Since you’re not teleporting your body but your consciousness:
In your DR body, feelings will seem normal. You won’t feel out of place—just as if you’ve always been in your DR. However, mentally, you’ll be fully aware of a divide between two very different realities. Sometimes, it might feel like your CR was just a dream, but you’ll realize it was too detailed and long for that.
Right after the "teleportation," if you don’t experience symptoms, you won’t immediately notice anything unusual. Seeing your DR room will seem completely normal. But after a few seconds or minutes, you’ll realize that just moments ago, you weren’t there.
During the first moments in your DR, your mind will still hold onto memories from your CR. Again, this will feel normal, and you won’t specially be surprised. However, some memories from your DR will be present as soon as you arrive, while others will gradually replace or integrate into your mind as you remain in your DR.
The more you progress through the day, interact with people, visit places, and "participate" in your DR—because yes, you could also stay locked in your DR room without interacting with anyone—the more your DR will become familiar. Sometimes, you’ll meet someone in your DR without "recognizing" them at first, but as soon as they speak to you, the memories of them will settle in.
If you have a script or shift into a DR you’ve prepared, like a fictional one, then obviously, you’ll recognize everything. But if you haven’t prepared anything specific, it’ll feel more like I described above.
Gradually, your CR memories will fade in your mind and become less detailed, though you’ll still remember them. Meanwhile, your DR memories will take over. Don’t worry, it doesn’t take long, and it really depends on how much time you spend in your DR, interacting with people, leaving your room, etc.
If you’ve done a mini-shift before, you’ll remember your CR and DR in the same way.
Then, when you return to your CR, you’ll recall your DR like a global memory, and since you already know your CR, you’ll retrieve your memories more quickly. Whether you’re in your DR or returning to your CR, you’ll need time to get your thoughts in order.
Whether you use a method or LOA, you might either realize immediately that you’ve shifted, or discover it later—it depends on how obvious the changes are.
In that case, you’ll just have this feeling that "before," things weren’t like this or that "some time ago," things were different, with a strong sense of certainty.
If you shift multiple times between different realities in a short span of time, you might feel a bit disoriented or experience depersonalization/derealization. But again, this will pass if you immerse yourself in the reality you’re in.
Finally, if you’ve been shifting for several years, realities will just feel like "places" you’ve been to. Even if you change families, appearances, etc. in your DR, it won’t really matter—you’ll view your DRs as if they were just travels to another country. The word "reality" will seem less significant, and for you, it’ll be just another place that adds to your memories.
VOILA!
Once again, this is just based on my own experience.

daydreaming vs visualization vs imagination
i was thinking about before i got into the law. you know when you imagine steamy scenarios before you go to bed for fun? i know you know what i mean. i used to do that every night in 2020 (even now) with the same scenario bc it was fun. keep in mind that i didnt know about the law at this point so i obviously didnt intend for it to "manifest". a year ago when i started to understand states, i used to think back to 2020 and wonder why those scenarios didnt manifest since i kept visualizing and imagining the same thing. last week i randomly remembered about how i used to wonder that and i immediately knew the answer: i wasnt changing self.
when i was visualizing/imagining, i wasnt becoming the person who actually knew i was experiencing it. i was not being someone who was experiencing those steamy scenarios. in order words, i was just daydreaming.
daydreaming
in my own words, i think daydreaming is visualizing something while being someone who knows they dont have it. for example: visualizing owning a car while knowing that you dont have it. so you are just visualizing it for fun, not for the purpose of changing self but for the purpose of just experiencing something in imagination (via visualization) just for your own enjoyment. daydreaming is like visualizing for fun, without changing states/self. this "knowing" i talk about is based on what state you are in, so if someone knows they dont have a car, they are in that state.
i think daydreaming is always visualization but visualization is not always daydreaming. daydreaming is for fun, without the intention of "manifesting" or changing states while visualization is changing states whether or not you intent to do so.
so i was visualizing my freaky scenes as the version of me who didnt identify with those freaky scenes (aka daydreaming). i wasnt identifying with it or using it to change self. same thing applies to when i used to repeat positive thoughts 100k times but i didnt identify with them. those are called vain repetitions and can be used to change self but if they just dont change self/states, then it is just daydreaming/vain repetitions. you can change self/states without realizing too which is why i think people put so much power onto techniques by thinking the techniques themselves are doing something, when its only self (imagination/you) that is changed by the techniques. those techniques were the things that consciously or unconsciously made you change self. regardless, self/you will always be the thing manifesting.
realize that regardless of everything, your state/version of you you are being, will always determine the "3d".
visualization ≠ imagination
visualization is a tool to change self / imagination. you can visualize things but that doesnt mean you are identifying with it or accepting it as true. i think of visualization as a smaller form of imagination but its very small compared to imagining/imagination itself.
imagination is what you are (aka self). imagination is not a tool like visualization because you always are operating in imagination since everything is self. you are always being a version of you. you arent always visualizing. visualizing can be daydreaming if you arent visualizing that thing to change self.
when you imagine something in a law of assumption context, imagining = what version of you you are being.
imagination is not limited to visualizing. there are some people in this community who have aphantasia and think they have no imagination and therefore "cant manifest", etc. but they just cant visualize. imagination is not equal to visualization. no matter what type of or stage of aphantasia you have, you will always already be manifesting.
visualizing and thinking without changing self means nothing. changing self means being a new version of you who knows they have (insert whatever desire).
self changes everything
so back to my story, i was just visualizing me and my imaginary bae, i wasnt being the person who was experiencing what i was visualizing. this is why it didnt manifest. i like this idea because that is just more proof that self changes everything, who ever you are being in imagination will express. it also means i have control bc i can daydream anything for fun and control whether or not it expresses bc i dont have to identify with that version of me who is experiencing whatever i am daydreaming.
i hope this makes sense and if it doesnt, dont stress. just focus on changing self, be the version of you that has whatever it is you want. i made this post because its been on my mind and hopefully it can help someone else realize that changing self is all you ever have to do.
kisses, jani ☆
