Majority control of the cohost source code will be transferred to the person who funded the majority of our operations, as per the terms of the funding documents we signed with them; Colin and I will retain small stakes so we have some input on what happens to it, at their request.
-- cohost to shut down at end of 2024 (2024-09-09)
Being very careful never to mention this person's name. What multimillionaire is out there debt-trapping devs to get hold of social media site code?
tumblr is going to implode on itself eventually, shit is not going well for them with a lot of queer people migrating to cohost and/or pillowfort, which i'd say is a good portion of their userbase, and even moreso now after a bunch of trans women getting terminated
Google analytics' numbers are....pretty much wrong all the time, but lmfao, I can't even get this cohost website to work... looks like I made an account there, but I literally never posted...nor do I know how it works apparently, because I don't even see a search bar
October 1, 2024: cohost will become read-only. all cohost plus subscriptions will be cancelled. account deletions will remain available.
starting October 1, 2024: we will begin processing data exports for all users. we expect this process to take some time. once your export is ready, you will receive an e-mail with a link to download it. data export downloads will remain available until the servers shut down on December 31.
December 31, 2024: cohost will go fully offline. all user data will be deleted on our way out the door.
January 1, 2025: we will set cohost.org to redirect to the wayback machine to prevent link rot. this is something we will be paying for out of pocket since ASSC will no longer be an operating concern, but it’s max $100 per year total so it’s fine.
I'll be on tumblr until the mods start physically prostituting me to an Ai robot overlord. But I have been experimenting with tumblr alternatives for the fun of it. Bluesky is just Xwitter, and Pillowfort hasn't accepted me yet.
COHOST HOWEVER I've had for a long while now. I signed up the moment I realized that tumblr implemented the "for you" algorithm. Cohost initially banked on the great porn ban, so it's like, 70% wacom tablet anime porn. And furries.
The ringleaders of cohost are, in fact, furries. Which would be fine, but the most notorious of these furries was part of a pedophilic bestiality cult. Apparently they're in kahoots with one of the mods too. I will be a member of the site as long as this drama persists because it's interesting and I have no moral compass.
Anyways my other statement is that I have yet to run into a single likeable person anywhere besides tumblr.
*This post was not meant to slander furries as a whole. I really fuck with whatever Fritz the Cat had going on personally.
Gonna be getting off Tumblr for awhile cuz watching this shit is actually starting to do damage to my brain. Come follow me on cohost if you like @dragongirl (nsfw probably) or gimme your @s so I can follow
