Logged onto cohost to find it read-only as of the start of this month and set to shut down by the end of this year. I'm not particularly surprised, but it is saddening. Massive props to the devs for doing all they could-- It felt like a lovely place, while it lasted.

#scrawny rambles #back to vagabond bindling i go!! ah #i can't really stand to be on tumblr anymore #love the people in my circle you guys are great #but the way the same discourses make their way around this site in a manner that always makes me feel worse is tiring #it's unhelpful and steals my peace and time #and like! that's a shame! because tumblr is in this sweet spot of being large enough to have spontaneous community #while also still being small enough that it doesn't feel mainstream. i don't mean that in a hipster way i mean that in a safe way #i can be a freak little weirdo in peace !!! huzzah !!!#but i know this too will end #whether it's next year or somehow another ten down the road #social media that doesn't seek to squeeze every drop of monetisation from its users in unprofitable #and the things that make a social media profitable make it worse #maybe one day we can hope for sturdy nonprofit platforms #but who knows how feasible that is
