i do think it's interesting how many people are Very sad about cohost going away. not only because i guess ive kinda become an iconoclast so deeply if not recklessly dedicated to the concept of looking forward in my life, burning my past as fuel for my future, as a response to how many times i've realized i was being held back by things i was unwilling to give up.
but also because, like, LOTS of websites have gone away before. but never with dignity, never by choice, never without compromising any of its principles or qualities. cohost didnt fade away or slowly become shitty, eaten up by capital or mismanagement. it's going out the way it came in, basically. that's pretty cool i think. what a refreshing difference! your sadness is such an honor for cohost, i think. your grief is holy. what love you have for each other, and affection for the place where you met! carry that with you. carry it everywhere.
anyway, cohost is you. and you are going to keep living. and you are going to keep connecting with people on your own terms. cohost will live forever.
