something i continually struggle with on cohost

is that i feel i've established a style of posting that i enjoy putting forward and people seem to like and/but/so i run into friction when i just want to make a brief tweet-like comment, because i don't want to "dilute" my feed or whatever and i assign higher value to my "higher-quality" posts. prolly dumb but i keep feeling it and it really discourages me from posting a lot of casual commentary that i might otherwise.

oh, the "tweet"
brain rng has decided that i'm maybe gonna try Famicom Gradius 2 tonight. ✌

I feel that! Or same when resharing things. Sometimes I feel like I need to go back and cleanup my timeline and delete old "low-value" things. I'm trying not to, because I just want this to be a place that I can broadcast dumb thoughts and see others' dumb thoughts and not care about maintaining an image or archiving and organizing them for posterity

🌊@wave3/26/2023, 2:14 AM

cheers. yeah, i actually almost never share posts because the site has so few means by which users can stem the flood of posts in their feed.

personally i get a lot of mileage out of the "Cohost Dedup" userscript but that's just a band-aid.

cat @catball3/26/2023, 2:23 AM

oh! could you link to the dedup userscript source? i've been wanting something like that :)

🌊@wave3/26/2023, 2:25 AM

fifth one down!

cat @catball3/26/2023, 2:32 AM

oh, that's great, thank you! there's a bunch of neat scripts :)

I used to feel the same way back on the ol bird site for a while, and Tumblr even moreso. Part of it is just the posting culture getting larger, my feed probably updates by a couple pages each day and on Twitter/Tumblr its expotentially larger. But even now I have, like, a semi glossery of My Favorite Posts as my pinned post, so idk maybe thats just the energy here.

🌊@wave3/26/2023, 2:19 AM

at first i thought i might make an index but then i didn't even have the energy for an intro post, lol.

my cohost feed is hundreds of posts a day, it became impossible to keep up with quite quickly.

I think it's important to just post whatever the fuck you want. Fuck "having a brand" or whatever. imo. tbh.

🌊@wave3/26/2023, 2:20 AM

you're right, pretty much. thanks 😤

Gradius rules, haven’t played 2 before though I only own 1 and 3

🌊@wave3/26/2023, 2:22 AM

i had to stop early due to wrist pain but so far, gosh, it's way more polished than Life Force. this is peak Konami flexing on NES. you should try it on an emulator or somethin.

Gradius III snes is really good! the slowdown makes it more approachable i think.

i rec Gradius V on PS2 also. it's extremely fresh and wild.

It's ok to just Post Things.

Have fun with the video game c:

yes'm. 🙏

I'm inclined to think that if those casual commentary posts annoy anyone, those people can just follow your photos tag or whatever to only see those, so there's no need to worry about dilution.

🌊@wave3/26/2023, 2:27 AM

mm. i tend to be more concerned about it on cohost because the site gives us so few ways to filter our feeds. but i guess tag following does exist for the truly dedicated!

Puke ☑️@daavpuke3/25/2023, 2:17 PM

Ha, I had the opposite trajectory. At first, I wanted to make sure I kept it pretty close to the vest to not dilute the page. But now people aren't liking/sharing stuff anymore, so there's no reason not to just shitpost whatever I want. I recommend it, it's liberating.

🌊@wave3/26/2023, 2:28 AM

is,... is this jokerfying :o

Puke ☑️@daavpuke3/26/2023, 4:03 PM

If it is, it's the one that has a bunch of terrible tattoos like I do 💀
