would love to know if any participants of compost music event have bandcamp , youtube , or soundcloud profiles , especially if upload compost music on there . as of recently kossai work on fun little radio page for website to showcase pieces of music from collection , and did indeed collect some pieces from compost . unfortunately , can not find non-archive links for these pieces or even know of non-cohost profiles in most cases , and have to wonder if look in right places . some participants in personal collection include natescape , atomd , and muteki - can compile full list later .

in theory could probably fudge web archive links into showcase setup , but would prefer not to if this is at all avoidable for various reasons - this strip away all original upload context , may be more prone to outage or error , and end user have no real way to support creator .

The CSS crimes of Dreamwidth locals

I've found it. The holy grail. As I'd mentioned before:

I know the full degree to which Cohost enabled CSS *crimes* isn't quite possible on any other social media. However, it seems like there is a small community of people on here who are wringing the site's inline CSS capabilities for all of their worth. They're not shitposting with it the way the #css-crimes scene on Cohost, was, though.
Rather, it seems like getting fancy with in-post CSS seems to be most popular with the roleplay community on here. Some of the roleplayers get very #aesthetic with how they format their lists of RP accounts, book-keeping for different threads across the website, et cetera. Not *all* of them are doing this, but enough are that it seems noteworthy.

Well. I've found some very impressive ones. Some even made me laugh. XD

CSS Shenanigans?

Well, nobody's used this comm since November, but I figured the cohost folks would wanna see this?

I found a community, chriscodes, that's got some example codes to peruse. This post (which is technically a follow-up on this post) and this post strike me especially in terms of the visual effect. And then this post very much reminds me in spirit of a CSS Crime, in terms of just being creating an effect for literally no reason than Because You Can.

I am wondering what the people who used to post in the CSS Crimes tag on Cohost are doing now... it's one of the little things I miss seeing regularly.

Anyone wanna share interesting things?

I kind of miss how easy it was to see people talking about media, technology, history, etc that I'd never heard about before on Cohost... despite Cohost having some structural similarities to Tumblr, I just don't get that experience there.

I'm pretty bummed out by recent events (to put it mildly), and I imagine a lot of other people here are too. Anyone wanna share stuff that brings them joy, or at the very least positive stimulation? Books you're reading, hobbies you've gotten into, etc.

I had been reading Who Owns this Sentence by David Bellos and Alexandre Montagu, which is very good, but had to take a break because it was just making me depressed thinking about how we're going to get out of the enclosure of the cultural commons on top of... everything else. I've had a bit of fun with a short free fangame RPG on Itch.io, made by a user going by Atena. And I'd like to share an old middle-school favorite website, "Dog Coat Colour Genetics" by an artist named Jess, as well as the even bigger and older "MessyBeast" website run by Sarah Hartwell, which is an especially thorough as a resource on cat color genetics, but has many other interesting alleyways to explore.

data exports

unsure if these go out to everyone all at once , or roll out in waves , but just in case anyone miss : cohost data export is live .
this export contain :

asks which send out to other users , anonymous ones as well
notes which leave on other user profiles
all posts from each page - which include timestamps , but come wrap in json that need strip to post elsewhere
personal comments from all posts - not full threads
personal additions to reblog shares - not full threads
profile information of all followers from each page
profile information of everyone who personally block from pages
as promise , " find your friends " files which include contact information of everyone in following list - not followers

hopefully this is helpful if wonder what data export would contain ( if not able to access yet ) , or if just miss email . :)
