In addition to the blurb above, I'm a recovering mathematician, Jewish, and autistic as fuck--those didn't alliterate

Sometimes I write poems, mostly in English and Spanish

I feel weird putting my age in my bio but I am in fact a Grown Up if you were worried

You're welcome to think Cohost's design is hostile to whatever you want to get out of social media but it's kind of dumb and, at the present juncture, fairly assholish to call the developers 'naive' by saying they should have built something more similar to some other social media platform that is also, at present, wildly unprofitable (they all are!)

Anschel @Anschel3/12/2024, 1:33 PM

Yeah the fact is that every social media platform is unprofitable right now. The only real exception is Meta, but they're not making money from social media per se

Why I love Cohost, and why it should continue to exist, is that I have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't seen anything like that on my feed.

I have seen some, but I just naturally navigate towards Things That Will Make Me Feel Bad

no see, the only real high ground is to make a big mess of an open source project that limits the pool of people who can create communities to "people who know how to use Docker"

Bruno Dias @bruno3/12/2024, 4:59 PM

Truly the most evil option. Nobody who knows how to use Docker should be allowed to talk to anyone,

An exception can and should be made for Ian Coldwater, but otherwise you're probably right.

nothing on the internet lasts forever, and whatever happens to cohost, whenever it happens, i'm really glad someone tried to do this thing. i didn't know how much i would enjoy it! it reminded me of things, introduced me to people, helped me understand what i like and don't like about the internet. what's the point in not trying new things, even if it doesn't always work out.
