was reading this post on ed zitron’s substack and this paragraph struck me as relevant to cohost— ie, most of the features we’ve grown to depend on and like on other platforms are only available because those companies were grossly unsustainable. cohost is trying to be a good service AND a good business, because they’re at least attempting to be sustainable

(i think this at least broadly true with mastodon as well, although for different reasons and philosophies)
