@stefan oh wow, the last thing I read from them implied they were doing ok-ish for the near future?
This is wild.

@Tijn Yeah, I haven't really been following along, almost forgot that I did sign up at one point, but it really is a shame. Hope everyone involved moves on to better things, and folks on there find new communities.

@stefan Is CoHost a formerly ActivityPub-based server, that eventually chose to fully defederate but lived on as a self-contained single server for a while? Or was that someone else?
-
@tchambers Cohost is it's own thing, was never connected to Mastodon in any way.
-
@sam I should have said "Activitypub" not Mastodon. Will go edit the original post.
-
@tchambers Ah, I'm not sure, I thought they were doing their own thing.
-
@tchambers you're probably thinking of CounterSocial @stefan

@amberage I will admit that I haven't really been following the project very closely, and I do believe they took in some VC funding, but I got the impression that they were genuinely interested in creating a positive community, so maybe they shouldn't be in the same group as those two sites?

@stefan Cohost were the site who spent half a year trying to decide if they should ban child porn, so yeah, not the least bit sad to see them go.
Can't quite remember right away if that was also the site that literally couldn't delete your account or if that was Bluesky.
