#eggbug lives

On to something more productive: I made a forum for fellow friends of eggbug.

My forum years were not without their drama but in some ways they were still vastly more genuine communities than I ever managed on social media, so ... in a fit of pique over the weekend, I made AfterChost, a forum for former chosties.

Of course there's people in the tags here gloating about its death, but to those people, I say fuck you.

cohost tried to do something good in this world, and for that alone it's worth a million sad losers angrily posting about how good things aren't possible and treating disabled queers like me with suspicion just for trying to create something instead of tearing things down.

Tumblr users complaining about "moderation problems" as if they weren't the cause of the site's Eternal September moment is the height of irony.

I'd be more angry if I didn't know that none of you will ever find happiness in this world.

Eggbug lives, in me and all the other people the site touched, who got together and said "hey, maybe we can have a site where we don't hate everything for a little bit."
