Cohost is shutting down.
Cohost, a Tumblr-like social media platform from the not-for-profit Anti Software Software Company, is shutting down. The platform launched in June 2022. A core point of difference was the lack of advertisements or an algorithm.
cohost will become read-only on Tuesday, October 1st. At this time, we will make best-effort attempts to keep the servers online through the end of 2024.
We have come to the decision to cease operations of cohost and anti software software club due to lack of funding and burnout. As of today, none of us are being paid for our labor1; all of our money in the bank, and any money coming in from people who buy our merch or don’t cancel cohost plus, is going towards servers and operations — paying the bills so we can turn the lights off with as little disruption as possible.
