man there’s some ui things about cohost that absolutely bug the shit out of me and i wish i could sit down and just fix it all even for free, but also i get that there’s only 4 people on the team and the things that make cohost able to survive for longer are probably higher priority. still tho i wish i could just join the team for a month and knock out a bunch of minor ui grievances i have, especially with the new way that the tags work with sharing now i think it’s a good feature that looks not that good idk. still love cohost tho keep up the good work staff

i think i’ve actually posted more on cohost than i ever did on twitter. i’d come up with more posts during the day, and just post more times in a day than i did for twitter (on twitter my posting times were measured in days per post instead of posts per day). i think the main cause is just that on twitter i was always worried that any post i’d make would attract the wrong attention or make people not like me, while cohost doesn’t have the numbers or the discoverability to give me those concerns

open your notifications page and filter out likes and shares. instant relief.

every other post i see in the introductions tag: “hey i guess i have an account here now. idk i might stick around if this place gets more active but who knows. seems really dead here to me tho”

my actual feed: literally flooded with posts i need to unfollow people and clean stuff up because cohost has become too active for my current browsing habits

some random furry in a discord server i’m in assigned me a fursona of a mouse and at some point i need to get some art of it so i can be a true choster since i heard you’re not allowed to not be a furry on this webbed site. also i’m plural but in a really messy way and i once made a couple webbed sites myself. follow me for my good posts like the one where i talked about how discoverability can be bad and the one where i literally just said “tim rogers voice”. i’m full of good posts and the only way to see them all is to follow me at cohost dot org slash ewie

reddit (the website) went down lmao

i just rebugged a lot of stuff about social media because social media and the effects of social media are things that i’ve always been really fascinated by. when i was 18, i, in my eternal hubris, tried to design a whole social media app that was meant to be “un-addictive”. the design was bad. it was a lot of mindfulness window dressing on top of a very twitter-brained core, and it would’ve had the same problems twitter had. anyways, my main point is that kind of shit interests me a lot and also i’m a dog bark bark bark bark
