Disappointed to learn Cohost has been started by people from the fediverse. You know what the fediverse is but you learned the wrong lessons from it.

First time hearing about this, there's some easy dunking fodder in there but no reason to do that nonsense here.

But damn the super hard kneejerk "BUT IT'S NOT FEDERATED IT'S GOTTA BE DECENTRALIZED THIS IS SO BAD" reaction is, a bit surprising. Like, y'know there can be both right? We don't have to have everything in the same place, right?
