hey y'all, we all heard the news,,

do any of you have site recommendations? i don't like the rat-race of mainstream social media, but i don't want to lose all sense of online community either :((

anything similar to cohost?

i've heard of mastodon, pillowfort, bluesky, itch.io, etc. what do yall think of them?

i don't want to go back to tumblr and i'm not joining twitter,,,,

Andre the Giant has been dead for over 30 years and he has a posse. I assure you Eggbug isn't going anywhere!

Cohost is by far the best experience I've ever had with social media. The community here have been awesome, the 4 person @staff have been awesome, and the website itself has been awesome.

It's the only site I've found that doesn't feed me algorithmically chosen nonsense to the point of being too overwhelmed to even log into the platform. It's easily one of the best user experiences I think I've had on social media since the early days of MySpace.

The only solution I've been able to come up with is pay-walling the website entirely. I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't be happy with that, but in my honest opinion, it's entirely worth paying a subscription for a modern social platform that doesn't siphon my data.

Anyways, here's a comfy protogen to ease the pain. Goodnight, Cohost.
