Can't say I'm surprised to hear about Cohost, but I do hope its loss becomes partly PF's gain. It's such a nice little site.

And Dreamwidth's! It is sad to lose more diversity in terms of sites with similar goals, but hopefully people who liked Cohost try out some other indie sites before going back to bigger social media.

Updating to mention it seems that some are indeed trying PF out.

at least a lot more baskets have at least one thing since the last time I looked.

Yeah, it's so nice, I really hope it sticks around.

[quillpunk]

Yeah, it's incredibly sad :(

[quillpunk]

Yeah, I've seen new intro's go by! It's great that folk are trying PF out, it can be so cozy if you can make it work for you :D

[quillpunk]

that's great! XD

[cornerofmadness]

it is. It's always a bit of a stomach drop to see those first round numbers and see more than half have nothing. There are a few more I can do if I have time (I'm up against like 3 other challenges right now)
