kinda annoyed that since the tumblr exodus i’ve seen a lot more content warnings on posts that could just leverage the great tag filtering system that cohost has. idk it’s just annoying to have to click through so many content warnings for things as minor as “eyestrain”, “anatomy”, and “eye contact”. like these are things that 99% of people won’t have problems with and the 1% that do can just muffle or mute the specific tag they have problems with. idk just annoying

i think the key difference between cohost and twitter is that on twitter i’d follow someone cos they’re influential (to me), and then i’d learn their normal posts are good. on cohost i’ll follow someone because they make good posts that i like a lot and then i find out that they created a game i like or something i use a lot or something like that. this has happened at least 3 times now

yo shoutouts to @staff for improving the photo lightbox! now alt text doesn’t make photos tiny

i still think that there’s prolly still room for some better design and stuff but it’s still nice that they managed to improve it, and there’s more pressing concerns to cohost rn than redesigning the photo lightbox to meet my very specific design criteria… like adding tips and subscriptions

man there’s some ui things about cohost that absolutely bug the shit out of me and i wish i could sit down and just fix it all even for free, but also i get that there’s only 4 people on the team and the things that make cohost able to survive for longer are probably higher priority. still tho i wish i could just join the team for a month and knock out a bunch of minor ui grievances i have, especially with the new way that the tags work with sharing now i think it’s a good feature that looks not that good idk. still love cohost tho keep up the good work staff

something wild i’ve noticed about being on cohost

i think i’ve actually posted more on cohost than i ever did on twitter. i’d come up with more posts during the day, and just post more times in a day than i did for twitter (on twitter my posting times were measured in days per post instead of posts per day). i think the main cause is just that on twitter i was always worried that any post i’d make would attract the wrong attention or make people not like me, while cohost doesn’t have the numbers or the discoverability to give me those concerns
