i saw you use cohost. would you recommend is as a good/active twitter alternative? im getting tired of the hell hole that this bird website is
i really love cohost and the community there but it is absolutely NOT a twitter alternative. if anything it's a tumblr alternative.
here's my small speech about cohost and why i like it
it's a mix between tumblr and livejournal which is fun
the community is very fun and active! when i made my intro post i had a dozen people leaving a comment welcoming me to cohost which is a very nice feeling
it is very much NOT about likes and follower counts. in fact, there is no way for anyone to know how many likes a post has, or how many followers someone has. YOU dont even know how many followers you have
the only visible number is the number of comments on a post, which is where the community comes from: if you want people to know a post is great, you gotta leave a comment saying so!!!
you can have as many links as you want on your profile, AND you can have links be only visible to logged in users, only to people following you, or only visible to pages you follow... so it's a great way to have your discord only be visible to certain people for example
if you DO want a more twitter-like experience, there is a tag that's The Global Cohost Feed, so you have a bunch of posts from a lot of people
when you first join you will have a few days where you can't post anything, but you can still look at posts and share them. a lot of it must be so cohost can prepare code to bring you in or whatever, BUT it also means you get those couple of days to get to know the culture of the website a bit more! it's lovely
chronological feed my beloved
no algorithm my beloved
cohost does have some issues (adding images is a PAIN), but the staff is working really hard to fix them and is always listening to people's feedback! i like cohost a lot. join me

Israel's newest massacre in Rafah is dubbed مجزرة مخيم النازحين
"The massacre of displacement camps"
35 displaced Palestinians killed in makeshift tents. This is where we're at. This is Israel.
Hey guys, important update from Mona. They have arrived in central Ghazzah and are able to continue their initiatives and activism after setting up camp. Since the last drive, she managed to accumulate enough funds to pack & distribute a whole heap of vegetables to the displaced people in Khan Younis! You guys have helped feed nearly 80 families if not more! Don't forget to donate! Every dollar counts! P*ypal.
G*f*ndme to distribute basic necessities in Ghazzah.
G*f*ndme for Mona & her family to evacuate.
Instagram to keep track of progress.
(If you live in India or Pakistan and want to donate, contact her through the means listed on her account).
Don't forget! None of this is possible without Mona and her family's diligence and work. If you would like to send her a thank you note or well wishes, please include it in the replies to this post, in your tags, or in the comments! She always appreciates them ♡
Sometimes I have to decide whether to post a funny one-liner on my art blog, my personal blog, or my other blog.
I'm like, if this post blows up, which blog do I wanna chance it on?
The Dark Game Awards. We have categories
Biggest day 1 patch
This probably could have been a movie
Proof that indie games aren't inherently more artistic
Most playable asset flip
Most gambling addicts created
It's so sad that I am hearing of Bosnian genocide survivors talk about how they are triggered by the genocide denial happening around gaza. That the rhetoric that is being thrown around in the media and the rationalization for killing thousands and the talk of "let's be careful of what we call genocide. Let's wait before we call it that" is repetitive of what they were hearing when they were living through it
And Holocaust survivors who were protesting in DC and feeling the burden of having to come out and protest another genocide being done in their name except the media has completely sidelined them because it does not fit the narrative.
I have no other words except how terrible this is but it feels comforting in a weird way that genocide survivors are standing with Gaza. Who needs the acknowledgement of governments when you have them

Inside the frame is a white-colored character with no features or details, that has a circle head floating above a dome-shaped body. On the right to the character is a white oval with two lines pointing down out from it, representing a table. On the table is a white apple with two vertical eyes, facing the character. The words “eat?” is animating in and out of the camera, every other frame. END Image description]
