The venn diagram of "says they left Cohost cause they never get any responses to their posts" and "never replies to comments or rebugs" is a circle
actually even if this was about someone in particular how would they even know they fucking left lol
- they/them

in reply to @EarthShaker's post:
I find Cohost has the same problem as Pillowfort. Some treat it like a blog, some treat it like LiveJournal, some treat it like Tumblr, some treat it like Instagram, some treat it like twitter, etc.
The problem isn't that they do what other platforms do. Mastodon is a Twitter clone. Its use is clear from the get go and it doesn't deviate.
PF & CH aren't focused like that "No corporate bullshit" is good but if someone shows up doing 'Instagram' and another person does 'Tumblr' they're not going to connect because they're navigating the platform with different expectations and habits.
If people are leaving due to a lack of interaction I say it's because how to do so isn't clear and simple
im not sure interaction should be clear and simple. every comment or notification i get on cohost feels infinitely more substantial than on any other site because someone put the effort in
I think a lot of it is part of the growing pains of a website that is still in its very early stages and developing it's OWN character beyond "css crimes" though the crimes are definitely funny.
But to show up, post a few times, and then sourly depart because nothing was doing numbers or whatever as if ones follower base followed them here seems kind of... there's expectations and there's HIGH expectations, you know?
I find here people will SPEAK to me, and that is a rarity on Twitter, even though by the numbers I should be a lot more visible there. Here a stranger will see my words and read them, and react to me thoughtfully - YOU have done that! That's not something I get elsewhere.
yeah, whenever i notice someone say that i go look through their page and they just... never say anything. it is all shares, most of the ones i have seen.
lol. i saw someone ask how to get interactions on here and i was like by interacting 🙏
