Cohost was a great place, and a necessary experiment, and my heartfelt thanks go out to the staff for what was a herculean effort.
There some folks here who I would like to continue following, but I know everything is a bit up in the air. I've been working on a personal website partly because it's past time I learn some more HTML/CSS, and partly because I think the "Old Internet" or "Personal Web" movement might have some good philosophical underpinnings beyond just 90s nostalgia, although that is a bonus. Cohost, at least at the current scale, managed to work effectively as a blogging and sharing platform that only rarely suffered from the structural problems that Twitter or Tumblr sometimes had. For similar reasons, I'm not currently planning to join Bluesky.
If you have thoughts on this, or a place I can follow your work, please comment below. I'll see you when I see you, and take care!
