I've been using Cohost on a daily basis for the last 7 days (got an account back in early August, but then forgot about it whoops), and here are my thoughts so far:
-The interactions on here have been much more plentiful AND much more meaningful than what I experienced on average on Twitter. Now, I didn't have a huge number of followers on there so there's a bit of bias, but despite Cohost's comparatively smaller userbase/size and the lack of algorithm, I don't feel like I'm shouting into the void at all times. And maybe it's due to to those very reasons that the "engagement" (yuck, bad word) is better quality?
-I'm actively seeking out and interacting with other users as well based on interests and whatnot, like WAY more than any other website in the last decade (notably: Tumblr, Pillowfort, Twitter). I've missed curating my experiences online this way. I have already met some very cool dudes, and I look forward to meeting more AND getting to know y'all better!
-Really stoked on this trend of not developing apps for many, many reasons. Like so many reasons. Fuck apps and app stores.
-The shitposts have been fun and clever and have their own unique flavoring on here.
tl;dr I like it here a lot, been having fun
