+I don't think we're going to ever have a true "successor" to Cohost, and I don't think we should! I think we should look at this more like [The LucasArts Breakup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucasfilm_Games#Legacy) which resulted in Doublefine, Telltale, and a handful of smaller indie teams, each one led by an alumni of the previous team.
+
+- **Mynotaurus** has already stepped up with [an active Mastodon](https://floofy.tech/@mynotaurus) and [The Enclave Webring](https://zatzhing.me/webring)
+- **Smutteo** has put together [The NSFW Cohost Starter Pack](https://bsky.app/profile/smutteo.bsky.social/post/3l3qzrrkd622p) on Bsky
+- **Cania** has written a [quick start guide](https://cania.neocities.org/blog/how-to-use-publii-to-make-a-blog-on-neocities-without-writing-html-and-minimal-css) for how to make a blog on Neocities or similar (try Nekoweb)!
+- A bunch of other artists have moved to private Discord groups for the time being, some of them are also starting personal homepages.
+- If you know someone else who's stepped into the community organizer role then let me know! Maybe I'll make a Cohost Legacy article like that LucasArts Legacy section on Wikipedia.
+
+It's up to us to step up as moderators of our own communities. We should absolutely reach out to other members of the Cohost cohort (the **Cohorst**) for help, but ultimately I think the community is going to split and go several different ways.
