as best as I can tell, 99% of outspoken Cohost Haters are some combination of

• chronically miserable conflict-addicted husks angry that anyone would dare to use or create a platform that doesn't enable such behaviour, and
• gormless rubes who will believe literally any breathlessly-presented baseless rumour

if you genuinely believe(d) that assc was trying to steal the legal rights to user's artwork, or that the site is pro-paedophilia, or whatever other batshit nonsense assertions I've seen floating around, please, by all means, stay away from here. tell your friends too.

cohost has been, by a wide margin, the best social media site I've ever used for intelligent conversation with strangers. I would prefer to keep it that way.
