wow, so everything except who you've muted is public on bluesky, huh. So I don't get to have any separation of personal and public without running an alt account.

Probably not for me, then. Cohost taught me to like things I liked, and I don't always want that to be public. Even fucking tumblr has private-able likes.

Guh. Of course there isn't a place for us. That place was here, and in a few short weeks it'll be closed forever.

I lived through 2001. The anniversary of my father's death is in September.

This is going to be the longest September of my life to date, I think.

Just a little thing to memorialize the site in my artwork.

Dad used to shoot little model rockets with me when I was growing up, naturally I had to draw where we used to shoot.

Cohost went up pretty quick, and sadly, the return to earth is a bit faster than the cardboard tube can withstand.

At least I was around to see it fly.

Decentralize your online alias, TODAY! Nowhere is by us, nowhere is for us.

^{PS: Pals from my discord servers mentioned that this is very Calvin and Hobbes-like, which is actually praise I feel very humbled by, since that was a big comic strip I sure did love growing up. I even still have the 10th anniversary book.}

Listen, I don't even care if staff are saying it in tags. I don't care if the original creator (for what little that idea is worth in this concept) says it was a mistake.

someone else would have done it anyway.

Some of us wanted the Cohost Global Feed. (may the Global Cohost Feed rot in hell). It was a choice. We wanted to have a bit of a fully public dumping ground. Many of us knew it wouldn't be a truly great place, but it was optional discoverability. Plus, silencing and blocking worked fucking wonders, since Cohost never got big enough for spam accounts to be a huge problem.

The main thing is that it was OPTIONAL. That was the only reason it worked, alongside block and silence tools. I don't feel the same way about full mandatory global shit like on bluesky. Fuck that. That's not what the global feed was.

My global feed was like an extended reach into the good parts of Cohost. I didn't see the bullshit. I didn't go on fucking cohost-meta, which was, by far, worse for the site's health in general; I saw more people be hurt, have to take breaks, step away, or outright leave the damn site over the absolute shitfights in there. I get that it's also where important work was done, but that's not what the TCGF was.

TCGF was just a place for a broader shot of shitchosting and cool stuff, without having to know what the fuck people were going to incorrectly tag their shit with.

We wouldn't have needed it if there were any other kind of discoverability than optional tags. That's not a shot at staff - it's hopefully a prominent note for Cohost 2, but either way

I've been wanting to get it off my chest for ages.

Don't shit on the Cohost Global Feed. It was, in the end, only what you brought with you to it.
