Anyway, I said approximately this on cohost, and it's true here, too:
It's too bad that cohost is shutting down. I wanted it to succeed in the long term, even if it never seemed likely to happen.
The fediverse sucks, but it's also the only option with any future upside. It's the only option that's resilient against capitalism. It's the only option where the flaws are within our power to fix.
So, this is where I am, and that's what I'm doing.
