rejoice!! the age of webbed site is here!!

i think if one of the social media i had when i ws a teenager had shut down i would've been in such an awful state mentally. and it is sad that cohost is going (augh my phone keeps correcting cohost to chost, thank you welsh auto-correct). but i'm also lucky to have overcome some of my worst social anxieties in recent years and i have irl communities that i love so much now. i know not everyone is as fortunate as me, and i'm still not able to be a part of these communities all the time when i have a health flare-up or whatever, but. idk where i'm going with this. just realising i've made a lot of personal growth i guess.

i think also maybe i haven't really processed that cohost is closing down? bc i saw the announcement after i had just left a memorial for my friend's son who i knew a bit too. so everything already felt weirdly surreal that day and i just don't think i've processed that this site is going yet.

i feel like with crabominable we could do something really funny with the fact that bwrw eira (to snow) contains bwrw (to hit). but i can't formulate anything rn.

houndstone + gelert ?? somehow?? "beddgelert" is maybe a bit too obvious/easy since it's also the name of an actual town.

"gelech" combining gelert + llech (slate, flagstone, gravestone) maybe.

i think one thing that puts me off joining a new social media is all the posts that are always like "this is the correct etiquette of our site and new users are weird!!" well it's not really worded like that, but it feels very overwhelming to be autistic and struggle with social cues and etiquette all the time anyway and there's all these specific, unwritten rules for like every social media.
