after two? years on cohost it still feels amazing to have this experience
- post something that sucks
- wonder if everyone hated it
- realize there is no follower count i can look at
- stop caring if anyone hated it, instantly
I truly believe the lack of numbers in most places on cohost is Healing™️, I’m at the point where I wish I could obliterate numbers off every other website because it influences so much of how you view people it’s insane.
There are people behind profiles and numbers tend to dehumanize them in very pernicious ways, I feel.
Related: if you see anybody telling you X or Y is “a big account” on cohost you can safely ignore their opinion because unless they’re staff they have literally no way of knowing that lol
talking to someone about cohost and they literally were like “oh isn’t that the site that had” and then listed three topics of high level discourse posting and i love that i had no idea what the fuck they were talking about.
like damn i love the primary cohost feature of no numbers & no algo. i have numbers on my notifs turned off too and my life is so fucking good. i get to post and i no longer have a little area of my brain screaming about how well it did.
i do noverals or severals or severals over a day. notifs are like lil reminders of the post. fantastic. truly revolutionary.
