Edit: I locked this one too, I'm done talking about it
idk the more I think about it the more I regret joining cohost. it's just me posting into a void for maybe 5 people to see it who all also follow me on some other site, while the admins sit around with an arrogant attitude throwing money into the void (where the posts are.) I shoulda never joined this site or wasted time with it lmao, but I wanted to give it an honest go
at least it seemed less shitty than some alternatives, but maybe I shoulda taken that bluesky invite lmao
and I can't even say like, oh but at least I met some people on Cohost. I didn't. This site is specifically designed not to meet people. The people I did meet? From mastodon. Some people joined my Discord server, and I'm glad for that, but "following this lady's link to her chatroom" isn't the same as like, we replied back and forth to each other's posts and became friends. Because this site is designed to not help you find anyone or talk to anyone
and now people are like, "oh roxy you just want cohost to be Twitter 2, you got numbers brainrot" when actually, I do not care about numbers. Hell, give me a bar on each post with no numbers that's normalized to the number of likes that the average of my 3 most popular posts got, idk. Just make me feel like I'm not posting to the void. People say, oh on Mastodon you have no visibility, and like I said in the other post, I get so much engagement on Mastodon, both in boosts and likes, but more importantly, in comments. People reply to my posts, people want to talk to me there
I think it just sucks that I can post tons of images and stuff onto this site, and the only one that people actually seem to interact with are either CSS crimes or posts about cohost itself
At least they liked that hot pic of my fursona I drew a little while ago, but I shouldn't have to post a nude pic of my fursona all the time just to get people to say hello
