not sure how I feel about this feature

No, see, it's great. On other social media websites they tell you exactly how many people are involved and it really drags down your day, being able to quantify how many people want to kill you. This way there's a kind of fun vagueness to the whole thing, so you don't get caught up in paranoia until it's WAY too late.

Don't even get me started on Mastodon. I got plots coming at me left and right, but it's like, why even worry about them until they all get together into one big federated assassination attempt? Cohost's assassination plots are the best, yo.

ok well it's still really annoying that there's no way whatsoever to check someone's profile and see if they have you as one of their trusted viziers or not

Imagine being an inferior vizier that doesn't know who can and cannot be trusted in the Royal Court

in Cynthia Broadmoore's setting, Holly Wednesday is a fictional character, who serves as a cautionary tale against being too driven, too determined to triumph regardless of personal cost.

I'm just waking up in the late evening. At some point I'd need to move on with my life, and do what I'm putting off but I don't want to leave Cohost's side.

There's no numbers here, so looking back and seeing older posts it could give the impression that no one cared, and the posts were unappreciated. I saw the notifications, I know despite appearances, they did severals.

They were good posts. I just wanted to say for any digital archeologist perusing archives of the site, things were more loved than they appear here.

We call them severals because the numbers behind the notifications don’t matter, the people do. I was one of the few that Had numbers for my notifications. Having a little orange or pink egg( it varied between mobile and desktop views) that had 99+ on it was a euphoria thing for me at the start of my time on the site. But eventually, that number didn’t matter. The users behind them did. Several people liked my chost, my rebug, the pouring out of my very soul. People are not numbers. We were not numbers.
