cohost support

Shamelessly stolen from Mastodon! I think cohost does a great job with minimizing numbers and their related mental stress, such as having no follower counts, no “like” counts, and multiple of a specific notification being “several” instead of a count. However, a rare exception is the extremely visible comment count under every post. I think this can encourage similar issues to having like counts or follower counts- it’s very easy to pass judgment on a post based on the number of comments, plus it makes it tempting to log out and see comments you can’t see when logged in (due to knowing the total count). I think knowing whether there are comments or not can maybe be useful, so you don’t open a post to read comments and see none, but not knowing the specific amount reduces the opportunity for judgment and discourages seeking out comments you can’t see (obviously if you see no comments but there’s a comment present indicator, it wouldn’t work perfectly, but that’s relatively unlikely compared to the majority of situations where it would help).
