things it badly needs:
1) push notifications. be it web notifications or an app
2) public followers lists
3) some kind of way to see active/popular posts. I know this gets into “algorithm” territory, but right now discoverability isn’t great.
4) better mobile layout. right now I get a full screen of menu when I want to see more posts.
5) public API

i think the first 3 things are intentional. they specifically do not want people spending 23 hours a day going ooooh ahhhhh ohhhhowowowow staring at the pain tablet

hell yeah

its chill isnt it

also bc theres no real push or alerts for Engagement i find myself checking it 2-3 times a day, doing my commenting and posting, and then going back to other things. 30000% healthier than dooming with my mouse wheel on twitter all day

yeah the combination of x posts per page + every person you follow who rechosts something causing the whole thing to be duplicated = any time a chost gets popular in your social circle it takes up entire pages of your timeline is not great and I'm glad it's something they're working on

yeah. i'm actually starting to full on unfollow people. Silencing is poorly implemented (i silenced somebody that apparently just shares those money requests i was griping about) so my feed is just full pages of JERK DETECTED!-esque boxes.

it doesn’t seem like the platform works very well and the page wasn’t updated since 2021, when they said they were funded through 2021. what about 2022, and is there any word on how they actually make money? when will it be stable enough to use?

i mean if you dont trust vogon and gang, you dont trust vogon and gang and that's that

if they really did run a decade long op of "being cool and good on twitter on the long play that it falls apart, we start a competitor and then get several hundreds of dollars", i can do nothing but respect their dedication to the craft

I just dont like to see anybody paying cloudfail. their poo poo sucks but there's no alternative for ddos protection for low budget sites

is it possible they were using cloudflare before it became widely known that it sucks? i dunno. they seem alright and i’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

considering that the daily stormer poo poo went down in 2017, no

what that quote states is that the assc chose to use the nazi cdn because it was much more convenient than its competitors, but that now that the difference in convenience is somewhat less, they plan to move away from it

this is better than the stances held by some of their competitors, I guess, but it’s still not a posture likely to appear in “profiles in courage 2”

matter of fact, its possible to use cohost for free but its guaranteed that every single person in this thread has voluntarily given money to a company using the nazi cdn. COMPLICIT.
