i am once again recommending cohost as a tumblr alternative

it functions very similarly to tumblr

majority of staff members are trans (if not all)

there are no ads, no algorithm, and no post metrics (as in, there are no publicly viewable notes)

you can use CSS to spruce up your posts or make interactive games

nice content warning + tag muting system

it's not perfect, of course. staff is like, four people, so that means updates tend to be slow, and since they rely on merch sales and premium subscriptions to stay afloat, it's financially unsustainable (so, like tumblr). but i like hanging out there, and it's nice to use a social media site that isn't at risk of the CEO blowing everything up for no discernible reason (because there is no CEO).

here are some cohost pages that you can browse through to get a feel for the place, and are good "starter follows":

objects: "your daily dose of object"

indie games of cohost: recommendations, reviews, screenshots, and WIPs for cool indie games. they also interview indie devs they find around cohost.

as the film ends: final sentences from wikipedia film plot summaries

notable trees: historic and famous trees around the world

directory assistance: a directory of cohost pages and tags

and here are some starter tags you can browse:

welcome to cohost

artists of cohost

writers of cohost
