No numbers on cohost actually does make my little ladder climbing social media lizard gland imagine that I can one day feel like a “big account” on cohost. Like I’m some fucking Elden ring character looking around cohost for numbers that aren’t there, knife in hand scheming that if I post good enough I can write a chost that escapes the website showering me in clout.

But that lizard is fucking STUPID. And a LIZARD.

You can't spell "LIZARD" without "LIAR" !
[Though my feelings on lizards is that they are cool]
Being popular on Cohost, that must be like meeting 99+ notifications, maybe several times a day. I think that happens to some. Now as someone who rarely reaches double digits I probably, shamefully, overanalyze where the notifications come from and it probably fuels a kind of social media addiction like any old platform would. But when you start getting a lot, which happened once or twice by coincidence (I hosted a kind of community discussion and was notified of every reply, ugh), it starts being a pain and I guess that's when the "no-numbers" policy really works.

I think I am being too mean to lizards in this post. Also, yeah getting a ton of notifications and seeing the numbers did happen to me on my making up Mech pilots page in the first year. Eventually I just got so enchanted by the numbers that I turned them off, and my mood about the page instantly increased. It was really cool to turn off numbers, because then you don’t feel like your impact is too small or too big for you to handle.
