after a summer of being kinda listless culminating in a really bad head cold, i think i'm finally getting back on creating art. here's a wip for a new d&d character's preliminary design: an amethyst dragonborn. though i haven't gotten around to adding any of the "amethyst" details just yet.
- he/him
(34/M) Little blue dragon whelp, wearer of many hats, enjoyer of things including but not limited to video games, goth music, sports, art, adorable things, cartoons and anime and other shows, etc.
"How can I build an audience on Cohost without an algorithm" feels like saying "how can I feed my family without capitalism". The overwhelming net effect of an algorithmic feed is to reduce visibility for the average poster and concentrate attention on a relatively small number of people who are good at gaming the system. It's actively bad for small creators who want to know that the people who have chosen to follow them will consistently see their posts.
Cohost could probably use a bit more discoverability than just the tag system, and @staff have already indicated they're thinking carefully about that. But their principled anti-algorithmic stance is absolutely the right choice.
