Kinda knew that cohost will shut down eventually. I'm really sorry for everyone who have built a lot of connections here, I believe this site is very unique on it's own

Here's my website with socials
https://vv0ltz.neocities.org/

It's so nice to have a site that doesn't feel like an app or a feed or a stream of content that wants you to drown in it for a few hours. A place that has interesting things to read and see without fear of missing out.

Why can't there be a place like this? I'm starting to feel like I'd pay admission.

i'm not a long-form essay individual, so i mainly used this space as tumblr 2 (i.e. sharing others' posts for the most part), but seeing it going under's another somber reminder of the modern-day burning of alexandria the world wide web's going through. my main gripe's the over-correction towards the concept of biased algorithms quashing any potential reach i and fellow smaller artists could've had, on top of generally feeling isolated to the handful (and i do mean handful!) i already knew and followed. css crimes'll be missed, though

that said and done, here's my other stomping grounds:

• twitter¹, doomscroll central
• bluesky (art), doomscroll jr.
• tumblr (art), strictly post-sharing
• cara and sheezy, art galleries

1. no longer comfortable uploading art there

Cohost is shutting down, and that fucking sucks. But that doesn't mean we all have to drift away from each other. By the Power of Eggbug, I command you to "yes, and" this post with your personal website (that you haven't updated in three years) and any alternative social media presence that you deem acceptable.

• Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mrhands31.bsky.social
• Discord: mrhands31

It's been grand, and I hope to see you in the next webzone, kid
