"cohost has way too many [x]" is an extremely funny self-own given the degree of user-customizability there is in what you see on this website
I wonder if this might be a reaction to the now-expectation of social media users to be force-fed posts they didn't agree to see from users they don't follow about topics they don't care about.
As grating as that is on every other platform, it does at least give a sense of vibrancy, diversity (even if that's "wow there's a lot more antivax people here than I thought") that you don't really get on Cohost if you consciously or subconsciously curate your feed to only show you topics you're interested in - something Cohost is almost unique in allowing and encouraging you to do.
its not helped by people using really general tags for really specific things, flooding the zone
