Using cohost lately has really shown me how much numbers can just fuck with the way with both how you act and how others act towards you. It's just been really like, easy, to approach people and have a human conversation. IDK its nice, I don't have to put on a face or do a song and dance to initiate basic social actions.

CW! On rare occasions I tackle more niche/dark kinks like watersports, CNC, humiliation etc. I do make sure to tag everything appropriately, but do scroll with caution or avoid altogether if you're not comfortable with that. Thank you! x

in reply to @Welwraith's post:
it just feels right
the literal only metric that anyone ever sees anywhere is the amount of comments, thats it, its so easy on you
I think my first month or two of using cohost last year was about getting used to everyone not having access to numbers, and once I overcame that hurdle everything seemed to click after that and become a pretty chill time. it's pretty nice so far tbh.
And I as a viewer as opposed to a maker also am rather enjoying it!
While liking and sharing can feel a bit flimsy (though not any more flimsy than other social media tbh) the feed experience, tag searching, hell even commenting is better (look at all the words and effects I can use!)
I really need to break old habits and actually add comments more. But this is really nice, yeah.
Artists feel like PEOPLE here, as opposed to "oh good art, oh no they have 30k followers I can never talk to them they are above me" the other sites give off
I've only been using the site for a day or two but it's already nice not being too intimidated to speak to anyone with more followers than i have, i think its way too easy to subconsciously use followercounts as a way to value yourself relative to other ppl without realizing it
I still gotta muster the courage to talk to a lot of people around here, but i agree, it's both the whole metrics thing and just not feeling like you're being constantly stalked for a callout
Yeah its pretty cool I guess, I honestly wish I kept using this place when I first made my account all that time ago.
Sort of noticed that in the way you are answering the asks, it's really cool to see! This is a really nice playform!
Feels nice, really. I'm just liking the cozy community and just talking with others without having to worry about people judging or staring me down from the distance
