I am sad and I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do next and I found people here, which was the important bit, in a way that's hard to imagine anywhere on the corporate web — but fuck me, it's already shaping up to be a long three weeks of extremely white abled people rending their clothes and screaming that this place was Perfect With No Problems, eh?

Heck, it might be.

What I see now, though, is people in grief. I mean, that's what I am, too.

Of course it's not perfect. Heck, the moderation was very flawed, as was the culture, established from the start. I'd just say flawed things have value, and can be mourned, too.

i stopped myself from hedging like "though i have my issues with Cohost..." because i feel like now is perhaps not the time to bring up valid complaints but i could be wrong

i will definitely be doing my own postmortem on the things i feel could be done better next time

but i am griefstricken with the loss of possibilities as the least-bad option for me and all of the people i have loved meeting here, regardless of my many misgivings
