one of the things that i like about cohost (compared to twitter) is that i have more freedom to adapt my posting style to my mood
i think it's for a couple of reasons:
-
the posting format is more flexible
i particularly like the trifecta of title/body/tags (and i guess also markdown/html/css) which supports a lot of versatility of posting styles. in particular, i really like the detail that titles are limited to 140 characters so if you really want to constrain yourself to short tweets like on old twitter you can do that
-
the lack of an algorithm
it's really easy to become a caricature of yourself on twitter when the algorithm starts magnifying existing biases in your audience
