In part because there's no reason for anyone to make a "bot rechosts x tag" bot, since both the tag and search feed already do exactly that.

Sen pro Kyne. Emotionally overavailable.
Yeah I mean https://cohost.org/sen-guide but I'm going through some things right now
This website has...
- No timeline algorithm
- No likable comments
- No notifications for liked/rechosted rechosts
- No follower/following lists displayed
All of these things really run against the grain of what the typical social media site wants to be, which is a thing that gets Good Numbers For Influencers to justify its existence. Cohost strikes me as the type of site that will inevitably move forward the concept of what a social media site really needs to do to be successful, and how to avoid the adverse incentives that produce the mostly-toxic clout-chasing metagame. I like being here because there's no pressure to have a hot take, or throw in my piece on some discourse, or be the first to make the obvious joke, all so I can spend the rest of the day getting a couple notifications every hour. It's really nice to feel like I'm just a person in this space.
I get to see actual chosts, from actual people, who actually like this heavensite. It's almost therapeutic.
