Alright here's the inevitable goodbye CoHost/Check me out on these other sites post:

Outside of CoHost I usually post on Bluesky, that is the site I'll migrate to immediately with everything that has gone down. Honestly, I'm not SUPER fond of the site, but it's an ok replacement for now and I already have a presence somewhat established. Here's the link: https://bsky.app/profile/daftndinos.bsky.social

VERY NEW TUMBLR; yeah I wasn't sure if I should make a nsfw tumblr but, I still use the site and I've had good experiences with it so, I figured why not, posts are definitely gonna be heavily censored because of their rules, I'll probably lean more into text posts and talking about my NSFW interests with this account but we'll see (maybe even writing) Link here: https://www.tumblr.com/daftdinos

FOR MOOTS: If you wanna keep up with me, here's my Discord, I've already friended a couple of you, but just in case I couldn't get into contact with ya, here you go. No pressure of course. My Discord: @daftydrifty

EVERYTHING ELSE: Here's my Linktree, I have a Mastondon account which I barely use, a Pixelfed account which I've NEVER used, I may or may not migrate there as well. Can't be too sure rn though. Here's the link: https://linktr.ee/daftndinos
you will NEVER see me on twitter just fyi

This isn't gonna be my last post, I probably won't post until the last few days or so, rn I'm gonna be focused on archiving posts I liked and finding other creators. But this IS where I'm putting all my socials on and so it'll be the pinned. Have a nice day ya'll

a place to blog where you can actually keep track of your posts and others' (so not tumblr) and isn't run by massive transphobes (so not tumblr or twitter). are those federation networks actually decent?

Cohost is the only place on the internet where I was able be myself and post just about anything I want, without feeling closed in by decades of internet baggage. Every interaction here was meaningful, and I learned way more from one random like or comment than I did from dozens of "viral" notifications elsewhere, and I felt like people who followed me were actually interested in what I said and did.

Even though this has probably been inevitable for a while. (The default end result for a new social media site is "Total failure". And what would have been this site's big notable financial moonshot had to be caveated with "America Only sorry! <3" long before it was finally canned.) It's still incredibly depressing to see it go. I had expected the site to circle the drain for a bit longer.

I'm not sure where I'll end up posting. I lost track of a lot of people I followed via the slow demise of Twitter. Additionally, I don't feel like I will be able to express myself or my work in the same way anywhere else.

I'd also like to mark this occasion by dabbling in the forbidden tags for their intended purpose: "Hating"

There's a small, but dedicated, cohort of pathetic and wretched villainy here. Whose main objection seemed to be that they had the tools to ruin Cohost for other people taken away from them.

In this case, it's refreshing to know that Cohost was doomed from the start. And that these people achieved nothing but their own misery. I wish them nothing but ill will.

Well, it hasn't.
