Well, today is a sad day for cohost :(

Unfortunately this is the only social media I use(d) under the chaclopop name, so I won't be found active in many other places for now. I don't know if I'll migrate to another platform to post my artwork unless it's to build my own website, either (that means I'm not planning on going to bluesky or Cara, for reasons) In that case, I have no links, I'm sorry.

The most I'm willing to do is put my Discord down in the comments if requested.

But I would like to thank the cohost staff for all their work, ever since I joined here a year ago I've had nothing but a positive experience. This site removed all the pressure and stress that a person would get from other platforms, like always being told how much engagement you're getting (yeah, seeing how many likes/reposts every post has can be a little draining) and being overwhelmed with as much content as possible. This site was very straightforward and I admire that. The community was small, but I enjoyed putting my stuff out here more than other places and that's why I kept coming back. So thank you, cohost, for showing me that I can still enjoy using social media if it's done right. I'll be sad it's gone but I'll be happier that I could be here.

Cohost shutting down is unfortunate, but I'm glad I spent my time with the site. It has helped re-enforce us to think that we shouldn't just pile up our interests on one or a few corporate websites, but rather make our own communities for others to seek and find, what the internet truly was from the start that social media tried to erase.

Unfortunately it also gave us a grave reminder of our reality: nothing is truly free. It costs money to run websites and keep data, so if you aren't going the easy route and just advertising, and if the alternatives aren't enough to make a profit (subscriptions, merch), then it's not gonna last. Stripe being shitty suddenly also didn't help with something that was planned for years. Really wish all that time with "Web 3" could have been spent to solve issues like this and not shitty crypto and digital scams.

As sad as Cohost shutting down is, I do want people to look forward rather than being all doom and gloom. Cohost was proof that a community of people wanting an alternative to the big social media sites with no invasive algorithm is out there. It's how to maintain it is what we gotta figure out.
