after two? years on cohost it still feels amazing to have this experience
- post something that sucks
- wonder if everyone hated it
- realize there is no follower count i can look at
- stop caring if anyone hated it, instantly
after two? years on cohost it still feels amazing to have this experience
For real, not having to think about numbers 99% of the time is liberating. I can't help but sound like a new-age hippie when i say it, but it's true
lean into it. "nah man, it's like, Natural Social Media dude it doesn't have any of the additives or preservatives. It all comes from the earth."
I don't think about numbers 23% of the time. or maybe 652%. #$37,532.4735!%? I dunno, the point I'm trying to make is NaN times out of 10 numbers don't concern me
bad posts just slip quietly away into the underbrush, to decompose naturally amongst the fallen leaves and other bad posts. sheltering and nourishing larval eggbugs.
there is a slick new Cohost browser add-on that consolidates many userscripts i already use but one of the features is follower count display so i've been avoiding installing it because i don't want to know and wouldn't have the strength not to peek
oh shit were do i get it?
ive been wondering for ages and its kinda driving me crazy
ik its gonna be low but id rather know then be left in the dark
wait you can already see roughly how many followers you have on your followers page anyway
nice to have the extention count for me though to save me the effort of counting manually
thanks a lot i got 27 which is more than i thought and im pretty happy about that :)
Oh come on, you wouldn't even get to see hatemail comments/shares. All negative responses would be unrelated and untagged posts, probably not even mentioning you by name or user name - more likely starting with "wow, some people here..."
and it's a good thing too because if I couldn't post things that suck, what would I have left
Social media birthed the attention economy, which turned into attention capitalism. Cohost tears it all down. All we needed were forums with shares.
