As someone who "Lurked" on the site for the past few months, it's been a blast. But I can't help but feel bad that I never properly used the site up until now. So I have some things to say about that.
I can't really come up with any clever Farewell Message as a sendoff for the site, I'm not super great at emotions and plenty of other people have said their piece better than I ever could, but I will at least say what I can about it.
It really was a cozy little corner of the internet that I would enjoy poking my head into every once in a while, and it really did feel like the Best Social Media of it's time, and for that I have nothing but praise for the Team and Users who made that possible.
However, I do feel bad that I never contributed to that in any meaningful way. I had always wanted to, had grand ideas of making a name for myself here with art and jokes and whatnot, but life doesn't wait for plans, and unfortunately I never acted on those ideas before the news broke of the Site's Sunsetting.
For that, I have a new goal. During my time here I had collected (by pasting urls into a text document) various posts from here that I liked, some silly, some neat, and anything else in between. So to give back to everyone that made Cohost what it is, I will be sharing all those posts through the coming days. In both a way to give back to the wonderful people who helped shape Cohost into this fun corner of the internet it became, and to some degree make up for what could have been on my part.
And to that end; Hi, I'm Mack! You can consider this the Intro Post that never was.
All in all, I'm going to miss this. This website and all it was.
To all of the Artists, the Shitposters, the Protesters, the Creatures, the Conversationalists...
To Everyone who made this site what it was, and the Team who kept the lights on for this long.
~ Thank You for Everything, it was Fun while it Lasted
