Looks like cohost.org is shutting down. They’re  actually bringing in a lot of money each month with a high % of users supporting as paid members. But their expenses are really high for the kind of site it is. 

Anyway this is what happens to a community that builds itself on closed source centralized platforms. When the maintainers decide to give up the users and community have no say.
