Gonna be really sad to see this place go.

AccidentalAesthetics on Furaffinity is my main art gallery, you can find all my public work there.

My Public Discord Server, if you want to chat or keep in touch.

Aside from that, I don't really have much going on.

I have an Itaku that i haven't kept up to date with, that I might use more if people start moving their galleries there.

I have a mastodon, but I kind of bounced off of it- I think I just struggle with the microblogging format, and the fragmentation of a federated space.

I have a twitter and a bluesky but I'd rather not link either one- I don't post to either and I don't want to start.

Ultimately, I feel like cohost filled a niche for me that is gonna go unfilled in its absence. This felt like it wasn't just a social media site, it was a site that specifically felt sheltered and comfortable in a way that I don't see elsewhere. I didn't participate as much as I would have liked to, but it was a breath of fresh air to be able to come to a place like this and see people talking about their interests and passions, exploring identity, and just... having fun, without the same sense of conflict and defensiveness that feels pervasive on other public sites.

I feel like I'd rather stop engaging with social media than go back to social media that feels hostile.

It's hard, though. In a lot of ways, cohost felt like an opportunity that I wasn't quite ready to take full advantage of. I think everyone needs a space they can feel a sense of community. Cohost stood for me as a community that I wanted to try to be a part of, and it seems like a lot of folks here are struggling with the loss of that kind of communal space.

I don't really think I'll find that safe communal space in social media alternatives like bluesky and twitter, but I don't want to give up on the idea of community in general. Maybe I'll try to make a point to engage more with my discord, or maybe I'll lean into vrchat more.

Whatever happens, I hope everyone here can find a space to exist, to grow, to connect. I hope I'll see some of you around.

Big thanks to all of you for making this place what it was. I'll miss it.

These are basically my same feelings. I'm trying so hard to not cave and use Bluesky like every-fucking-one else. I like Mastodon but it has a specific use-case. Cohost had purpose and structure that we all sorely needed, and it sucks it just wasn't able to last.
