talking about cohost
Yep.
I only feel bad for cohost's users who are going to have their communities torn apart.
cohost the organization and the people involved handled everything very carelessly. And that's me being polite.

@packetcat the thing that tempers my sympathy is these people knew this was the end. the writing was on the wall for most of its existence. folks actively turned away from reason and nurtured a cult mentality when they promoted that space.
they could have invested that social energy elsewhere. mastodon genuinely did miss their absence.
@packetcat and like, to be clear, all the worst critics of mastodon? they’re mastodon users. we make fun of other people who go after the software not because they’re critical, but because they haven’t spent enough time here to know where to throw stones. this has always been the case.
same wasn’t true on cohost. people spending time there were nurturing delusion, not honing a critical mindset. and that’s partially because unlike mastodon, on cohost there was absolutely nothing you could do to make things better. the ship was doomed.
