discord (indextic)

bluesky for the foreseeable future, i guess



i want to believe cohost will survive because there truly are enough people out there sick enough of the way social media has been designed to eat up your attention, give you no control over your experience, and shove infuriating slop in front of you that they could come together to keep an alternative like this alive, but also because i really don't think i'd want to go anywhere else after this. i've looked at the alternatives and i'm not interested

yeah i'm in the same boat; my alternative if this place went away would be giving out my discord handle rather than jumping ship. but a huge part of what i like about this place is that it provides a structure that makes me talk to people regularly. having even more discord friends that i don't keep in touch with and feel guilty about not keeping in touch with is not a fun proposition.

Yeah, same, basically. I've thought about trying out Pillowfort but haven't yet — entirely because cohost is so cozy and I love the energy here enough to feel like I maybe don't need another social.

I haven’t been on social media in a very long time because I just don’t like it, this is the first one I’ve used in years. Have a discord account just in case someone wants to keep in touch without exchanging phone numbers or emails, but I don’t use it. If cohost goes I’ll probably just go back to browsing the web and texting my friends lol
