This site is the site I get the most engagement on, but I half wonder if that's because I know exactly who my audience is here rather than elsewhere. I'm not complaining, but it does mean there is no such thing of having something "escape into normie space".
y'know, i guess that does happen, but i have this weird mental block of "why would someone share a cohost post outside of cohost"
i am glad that you are all having a good experience with the situation, but it is clear that this set of decision strongly favors some types of people over others
- people who do not post often have very little chance to be seen, while people who post dozens of times per day flood out chronological timelines and tags
- people who do not post visual media are much easier to miss than people who focus on writing and text
- people who do not already have pre-existing or external sources of discovery (such as youtube channels or had formerly big twitter followings etc) are massively disadvantaged
tagging stuff stresses me out, i am not sure how it is supposed to work and it is a system that i am having to learn, i have had a tumblr account for a very long time but tags were never easy to me and i pretty much stopped using it even before the yahoo acquisition
i was on deviantart in the early days and when it started it was actually accessible to writers, and that was all my friends there, but over the years it became focused on visual art and it became impossible to find any writers or be found yourself and all those fun interactions went away and most of the writers left for tumbler or ao3 or fanfiction.net or simply quit all together
again i am truly glad for cohost (including a working block feature) and that for some people are feeling more free here and the general lack of toxicity is huge, but i am also not going to pretend like it cannot be improved for others either
