Wait, is this a rebrand of couchsurfing.org?

https://couchers.org/issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CouchSurfing#Change_to_a_for-p... This is the phoenix rising from the enshittification, as is tradition.

yeah, that's about the time I quit couchsurfing and limited my interactions to community meets. Then it pretty much died out. I couldn't tell if this is the same folks trying to do it right or different folks who believed in the original mission of CouchSurfing.

It looks completely different and is a non-profit:

> Couchers, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization ... [incorporated] in the United States in late 2021, and the project was moved under the purview of this new non-profit in early 2022.

I hosted couchsurfers and it was fun, but i stopped when i started getting detailed reviews about random shit about my home after people left.

Letting people live in your house in the central business district of a top tier city and then having them comment on your towel designs.

It’s not a hotel. I’m so over it.
