after two? years on cohost it still feels amazing to have this experience
- post something that sucks
- wonder if everyone hated it
- realize there is no follower count i can look at
- stop caring if anyone hated it, instantly
I truly believe the lack of numbers in most places on cohost is Healing™️, I’m at the point where I wish I could obliterate numbers off every other website because it influences so much of how you view people it’s insane.
There are people behind profiles and numbers tend to dehumanize them in very pernicious ways, I feel.
Related: if you see anybody telling you X or Y is “a big account” on cohost you can safely ignore their opinion because unless they’re staff they have literally no way of knowing that lol
Thankfully this is anti-social media and I can literally scream into the void and everyone can see it and care or not care. If I get a few likes or comments I get dopamine, if I don't I still know you fuckers had to read my bullshit.
Also someone should enshrine it in cohost law that showing your follower count on your profile is forbidden and will get you sent to an eggbug tribunal for your crimes.
