We're still not sure how we feel about this place. As we've noted elsewhere, the functional space Cohost appears to occupy is basically the same as Tumblr's - it's a longform blogging platform with a reblogging feature. In the very least Cohost has the benefit of CSS-use on dashboard/timeline and a fully-functional comment system, compared to Tumblr's limited functionality of both.
But we still kind of prefer Tumblr because, despite a history of harassment and purity culture (that then moved to Twitter), Tumblr let us completely style our "profile page" (the blog itself), and it has an established userbase. And there's functions now to curtail vectors for harassment anyway.
We also don't really like a lot of the discourse and discussion that's been happening on Twitter about this, Tumblr, or Mastodon. A lot of it has been admittedly perpetuated by that one Dreamwidth person with a bee in their bonnet, but we still feel that it informs the kind of userbase that might come to (or be dissuaded from) using Cohost. Never mind the perspective that people should be looking for exact-replacements for Twitter that means they'll never be happy with say, Mastodon.
EDIT (because we forgot one point) - Admittedly we are biased by the fact we're not affected by Tumblr's "porn ban". Our subversive artwork is not particularly explicit, and we keep more explicit stuff private (posted with in private friend chats) because it's not something we really want to make an "image" out of. We feel the current standard of "mark a post as mature" probably helps, and if such media gets taken down it's likely because it's been manually reported by some uptight arse. Don't be a cop~.
I suppose the main issue we have at the moment is that we're following jack-squat people because hardly any of our friends joined up, so without a familiar set of faces we don't really know what to like, post or anything. Perhaps that is the main thing that informs the vibes at the moment.
... also we're not really sure about the colour scheme, but that's being a bit pedantic.
