plus I'm on the small web & gemini, but I don't give those out;
this place was short-lived but good. maybe I'll see some of you elsewhere?
###The Cohost Global Feed
also: ##The Cohost Global Feed, #The Cohost Global Feed, #Global Cohost Feed, #The Global Cohost Feed, #global feed, #Cohost Global Feed
Unfortunately, a server hiccup nuked my draft of a really nice eulogy for Cohost, and I'm feeling a bit down and can't bring myself to remember exactly what I said.
So I'll keep it short: This was the best place to post for me for a good couple of years, and I'm sad to see it go. Being on cohost and seeing the insanely cool things people were sharing just because they could (as well as the little goofs and nonsense posts and all that cool furry art) really underlined how important it is to:
a) have more than one place to be
b) have places that do different things
c) or the same things differently, even if just by a little bit
So thank you to @staff, thanks to everyone here that made this place what it is.
In the spirit of having more than one place to be, here's where I am at the moment
It's mostly the same as my pinned post and my carrd but I'll hold forth in this post about how I use each platform so you can decide where/if you wanna follow/join/hook up:
**EDIT: Turns out I had a wordpress blog in 2011, so I'll just move my posts to that as well (it's over at https://unangbangkay.wordpress.com ) **
-
Twitter (https://twitter.com/unangbangkay) - lol, lmao. I mostly keep locked, but i'll stay unlocked for a while so you can follow there if you want.
-
Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/unangbangkay.bsky.social) - mostly mirroring my twitter posts.
-
Tumblr (https://unangbangkay.tumblr.com) - In posting style overall Cohost was the most like Tumblr, so if I get back into writing longer stuff or move any of the tags I originated (Gacha Character of the Day, Shipchosting), it'll probably be here.
-
Discord - Unangbangkay - Add me! I use it a lot for work, so I'm always online there in some capacity. I'm usually on the RPG Site server. I have my own server but I only really started it so I could use it to look at Twitter videos without the shit-ass twitter codec. If I do anything with it I'll announce it somewhere.
-
Mastodon (@unangbangkay@mastodon.social) - I barely use it tbh but there are a ton of gamedevs there? Haven't really figured out how to make the feed show me what I'm looking to see so I guess I'll figure it out. I'm also on misskey.io (on the same handle) under the assumption that the saucy artists would move there but you have to filter so much lolicon it's kind of a chore
-
Threads (also unangbangkay on there, and on Instagram by extension) - No idea how to make it work, and Instagram scraping everything for training data makes me not want to use it, but i may have to for work if twitter implodes completely, as the "official" accounts are most likely to move there as opposed to any of the other alternatives.
-
LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/djoshuatolentino/) - Mostly for finding work, frankly.
In the spirit of doing things differently, here are some things I'm thinking of trying out
1.) Letterboxd (unangbangkay) and Backloggd (also unangbangkay) - Cohost hosted the longest media thread I managed to keep up, and though it still wasn't complete, I think the logging format works for me, so I may keep things up over there.
2.) A newsletter? Man, I dunno. If I do try it out, I've already got a substack account, so it'll probably be there for a while.
3.) Games I play! I'm on Primal/Lamia as Suzuran Hawksmarche in FFXIV and I'm on Star Trek Online as Selix@Unangbangkay, mainly. Also Unangbangkay on Xbox, PSN, and Steam.
Anyway, it's been really cool here. I hope to see some of you elsewhere.
This is probably the first illustration that lead to VALLONO and ARRILLUM.
Hearing Cohost is closing is so sad. I was loving the community here.
A few places you can find me:
Bluesky
Tumblr
Pillowfort (Fashion only. Will be picking up again.)
Instagram (I post via stories, profile is an archive. I'll add you if you request)
Twitter
Hey Cohost, heres an exclusive look at one of the new features we've been working on over the last few weeks. Just something special, just for you 🩷
Anyways, you can find us on Bluesky and (yuck) Twitter. Please don't forget us!
Thanks for caring about Demonschool!
