I was an early adopter of #couchsurfing but when I wanted to check more information about my account (hosted at least 50 people), I had to subscribe. I know that I gave them money to do that, but I had the same issue again today. I deleted my account, which meant deleting the dozens of references and memories that surfers had shared. They changed their model from hippies on sofas to a corporate AirB&B or Uber model. Sad.

And no, Self-Hosting isn't an option.

I can barely make payments for Couchsurfing rn...

Well the new #couchsurfing app has one perk, I am starting to chat with all the lovely people I met in the last year, discussing what alternatives they have tried 🙄 but also catching up 😊

Look who crawled out from under the stone, it's #Couchsurfing! I didn't even remember I had still subscribed to their blog (thanks feed readers). I had subscribed years ago because I wanted to see if they apologized for or explained their last dick move somewhen. There were no posts until yesterday, when they pulled their next dick move. Summary: You can login, click through their new onboarding with fake data, then export your data and delete your account, at least this much was done this time.

Dear everyone, I am looking for a place to stay in Brussels during Various Voices (24.-28.06.). If you know of someone or have a couch I can crash on, I'd be happy to hear from you.
