a nice thing about Cohost is that it hasn't convinced everyone that their role on Earth is to be the Some Schmuck News Network, offering up-to-the-minute updates and opinions on every matter of global import
"Your silence on the matter speaks volumes" culture when the volumes consist mostly of a description of how I'm actually not a political reporter but a nurse in Fucklesburg, Massachusetts and therefore mostly
qualified to commentate on the Fuckle Valley regional healthcare system
I am completely sincere in saying Cohost is the Official Site of "I Saw A Cool Bug"
I really hope we can keep this culture going forward. It's so nice to have 95% of what I see be some combination of "Look at thing I found/made/am working on" and "Here is 8 paragraphs of my thoughts on a complex issue that I never posted on other sites because people would've acted Like That about it and all the comments are serious discussion contained to one post"
to no one's surprise, Bluesky has spawned a crop of aggressively negative randos who appear to be topic-searching like on twitter, which is mechanically if not sociologically bewildering, as search on bsky doesn't work very well
It's pretty clear that the biggest social problem Bluesky is going to face for a while is 'it's got too many people trying to replicate the worst things about Twitter, because it feels like Twitter'.
