going viral is when you lose the ability to use ur notifications for anything besides that one post
true fear is waking up, checking cohost and finding the notifications button says 99+
just unfathomable to me that A) going viral is at all desirable for anyone other than artists who need views to survive and B) people think the injection of posts you didn't ask for into your timeline is in any way a good thing
Seconding, I am totally baffled. It sounds like someone saying "I'm addicted to the dopamine hits you get from predatory social media platforms and I like it that way actually". If that's the case, I can see why they wouldn't like cohost.
100% this; as soon as I realized that "going viral" means inviting the attention of everyone (including haters and bigots) then I stopped wanting to go viral
I've had like two moderately "successful" posts on cohost, and each time, it was honestly relieving to know that I was the only one who knew exactly how much attention my post was getting and that my personal worth online wouldn't be irrevocably attached to the concept of "notes" on it. the lack of numbers here is so freeing; having my notifications blow up here doesn't come with the tidal wave of anxiety that it always did on twitter.
I've got a post that gets dozens of notifications a day because people are holding court by turning it into a huge reshare thread and wahhh Cohost sucks because there's no mute thread button
hahahahah fair and yeah notif filtering/post muting/things of that nature are pretty high on the prio list. as usual, can't promise timelines but it's Comin
if the normal case is typing for the void, i can see why some might think going viral is something to strive for
You can't even really do that because there are so many of them that they become a meaningless sea of noise, only telling you "people sure do like this one post" and little else. Who likes it? I dunno, but there sure are a lot of 'em.
