As much as I keep on armchair-architecting about how Cohost “could” have been an indieweb player, they were very specifically against interop in any meaningful way because they felt that centralized silos were the way to go for community building and moderation

so of course they shot themselves in the foot, repeatedly, regarding moderation, which I’m sure was a major contributor to their eventual burnout

my hope is that in this new surge of renewed interest for having your own damn blog on your own damn website, this finally gives #indieweb the push for adoption that it’s been sorely needing

it’d also be really funny to me if the indieweb community got totally overrun by socialist therian plural furries with a taste for anti-racist action
