oh lol i missed that there was even this thing happening with the cub stuff. lol. i pretty much don't look at the news thing.

someone said it feels like the admins are looking at the audience and turning a dial and yeah, it does kinda feel like that, but i've felt this whole time that they seem to be running this place like it's a business, so i'm not surprised they'd make abrupt changes when the users loudly disagree with a decision they've made.

at the end of the day, this site is their jobs, right? they need to have a userbase that is willing to give them money. they don't run ads. of course they're going to go "oh uhhh actually that was the wrong choice and you're right! sorry! reversing course!!" when a bunch of people go "ok i'm gonna leave then lol."

for better or worse this is what you get with a centralized platform like cohost. i'm still just over here like "how come dark mode isn't actually dark"

i literally slept through it all and now i'm feeling like that picture of limmy(?) waking up

and before i slept through it all i was outside all day so i'm just running catchup so hard on all this and it's just like

what

I mean isn't that a good thing ultimately? that they're willing to admit they didn't read the room right if it goes that badly? I want a responsive admin team, not some Strongman Corps that set all their decisions in stone and if you don't like it then gtfo.

I just hope people give them enough benefit of the doubt to not immediately assume they need to stage an ultimatum to have their feedback taken into consideration.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "cohost bad" here, though I definitely understand people going "you thought people would be ok with cub?!"

A lot of people want a website run by folks whose values firmly align with theirs, especially if it's not a corporate site. Nothing like this ever happened on the fedi instance I'm on, for instance, but that also doesn't need to run itself like a business, so they can have a firm set of values from the start.

I imagine people are also upset since this whole thing already basically happened several months ago, and it's weird that they were going to carve out an exception for cub.

But hey, as far as I'm concerned, they made the right call in the end, even if the path there was bumpy and winding. I'm still sticking around lol
