there was some drama a couple of weeks ago when that picture of a sign from a rally that said "HATE TRANS PEOPLE? K*** YOURSELF!" was doing the rounds. a lot of discussion and some arguments about it being posted without content warnings and stuff. i found it informative as it gave me some new perspectives on things, like how anti-fascist action should be about building community with the vulnerable. the most recent drama seems to be over the update to the cohost community guidelines which expanded definitions of sexual depictions of minors: https://cohost.org/staff/post/1624196-community-guidelines https://cohost.org/staff/post/1627613-update-on-incoming-c apparently before it was just "human minors" which is weird but now the qualifier has been removed. seems like the right thing to do but apparently there is a broad and wide spectrum of opinions which i dont care about but you can read in the comments above.

I was woefully unaware of it and then I saw the staff posts. it seems like a few days ago they clarified rules around drawn child pornography or underage ‘humans’ in sexual positions with everything else (non-human) requiring mandatory content warnings. this created an uproar around folks who don’t want to see this poo poo even if isn’t depicting humans, so a few days later under the pressure they also banned furry depictions of underage sex (“cub” seemed to come back a lot in the comments but that’s frankly a part of the web I know jackshit about) and then it became about a bunch of comments both thanking them for the decision and another bunch of people mentioning that no actually this is how they process their trauma and they want to keep posting that stuff (but then can trigger a trauma response in other people) i bailed out of the thread at that point and sort of went “well it’s cool I never got to see any of that go on because that’s just not what I follow I guess”

it does give me pause that there are apparently enough people upset at “don’t post anything even minor-adjacent” for it to be a big thing, but yeah I have been blissfully unaware of any of this because I don’t follow those people.

fwiw while things look grim they still have funding, so it's not going anywhere soon. If you'd like the site to continue cohost premium is a thing, and so is their store.

You can also pay for premium more than once! But no gift support yet.

i just wish they would focus on actual useful features because it feels like nothing has improved and i'm left wondering what is actually happening the fact that tumblr-style asks are going in before there's even any way to message a user normally feels bizarre, especially when the site still lacks any kind of built-in de-duplication. love to have my timeline be the same 5 posts being shared over and over again

discovery being poo poo is also a huge problem and i don't see any particular outlook on it being fixed. if you don't already have an audience of some kind, likely imported from twitter, you're dead in the water. tags are the only way to find poo poo from people you don't follow, and they intentionally hide tags on shared content. if someone shares a post onto your timeline it will only include tags from the sharing person, not the original post, so most of the time that ends up being nothing. you don't get to see what tags were used, so you have no clue what tags to use. and of course tag capitalization is normalized to the first use of that tag. #FUnnY mEmES

I'm still gonna post there, but since Cohost was my backup for all my paper-posting from the ergonomics thread, I'll have to move all my posts' copies to a subsection of my blog and be on a hiatus in the meanwhile, just in case
