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:
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.
It's been grand, and I hope to see you in the next webzone, kid 
so cohost is pretty much dead. i hope the source code gets released but that's pretty rare.
i have accounts on BLUESKY, MASTODON and TUMBLR. but idk how often i will update them.
https://bsky.app/profile/giwake.bsky.social - BSKY
https://peoplemaking.games/@giwake - MASTODON
giwake.tumblr.com - TUMBLR
i'll be using BSKY most often because most of my friends are on there and it seems like the most common place people go to. i'm sorry but mastodon blows for a user who just wants to post and follow people.
ALSO: join @joewintergreen 's discord. that's probably where i'll be THE MOST active if you enjoyed my posts. it's also a good chill discord for game developers.
i'll be logging off cohost tbh. i'll miss it. it's probably the best online posting experience yet and i'm upset capitalism killed it. i just cant handle the doomscrolling.
thank you all.
i hope there's a spiritual successor sometime in the future. all of the webdev furries should get in on that shit. make a good social media site. a better future is possible, we just have to make it.
god bless you all. i hope we can all see each other in the future.
