Tbh I’m mostly paraphrasing an attitude I’ve seen which is mostly without judgement, that like “cohost seems cool but it’s very Targeted” and i think that’s actually a correct take and i happen to just be part of the target demo

This take as always been weird to me because, like, I have both very-online-queer-furries in my feed and more "normie" (read none of the above) people in my feed so like... if that's all you see then just find different people to follow?? Idk.

I understand that one's experience on any social media site is highly dependent on how you curate your own space for sure. I do also think that post-twitter social media has splintered in such a way that people who have different kinds of priorities have been gravitating towards certain platforms because they're oriented in a particular direction, when it comes to their features or their initial userbase or whatever. It makes sense that communities of people would follow each other to the same places, and this would I'd think logically have an impact on the culture of each place. I think we're all used to Twitter as this grand melting pot of Everybody, for better or worse, but I think masto, cohost, tumblr, bsky, etc. are all like, attracting different kinds of people to some degree, and that is I think both unavoidable and to be expected and also -fine-.

I also kind of feel like, within the sphere of 'people I already knew on twitter', there are cohorts within that that have largely settled on various different social networks. So I can certainly think of "the people I know who are very cohosty" as like, a specific classification within my existing social groups, that doesn't include everybody I know. I'm sure I could step outside my existing social sphere to find other people who are into totally different stuff, but even when just browsing tags and Global Cohost Feeds I feel like I just see a higher concentration of certain categories of people/content here vs. elsewhere.

I've seen maybe a few folks complain about it, but mostly just an acknowledgement of what the seed culture of cohost was and how that impacted the types of people who gravitated here vs. the people who weren't feeling it perhaps. Like "not sure this is for me because I'm not a queer millenial furry gamedev/I'm not interested in seeing stuff primarily catering to them".

And like, I'm pretty sure I know a good amount of the people who were the seed culture of cohost so it makes a lot of sense to me that it would have that reputation.

yeah that's fair

and that reputation isn't necessarily a bad thing imo, it certainly keeps my blood pressure down knowing i can spend time on here and not risk running into some 19 year old reactionary weirdo unironically spewing burned furs talking points (and if i do, blocking them is easy and free lol). i'm not a gamedev and i don't know shit about programming at all but i still enjoy the overall vibe, it's nice here

I'd like to be clear that the handful of times I've seen this commentary elsewhere it hasn't been highly aggressive or critical even, just at times "maybe that place isn't for me" at most. And I think that's honestly totally fine and a not unreasonable analysis to have
