Do you HATE Wordle? Would you prefer to never hear about it again? There's a setting for that!

Go edit your profile, then click on 'Filters'. Add "Wordle" or anything else you'd like to personally ban, and presto! It'll vanish like magic. @NickTheSkydiver

what are CoSo lists?

lists allow you to create lists (no way!) of users, which you can pin to a column to create a feed of just posts from those folks -- here's how:

in the far right column, click Lists

pick a name and click +

click the list, click the show settings icon (upper right of column) and click edit list

once your done adding folks, you can click +Pin and voila! your list is now a custom feed of the folks in the list

happy listing!

New folks…

We don’t care about follower counts here. Follow, unfollow…it doesn’t matter.

What matters here is community. Kindness, fun, learning, sharing, caring…you get the idea.

Hey New Folks… Looking for folks with similar interests? Check out CoSo’s extensive list of established hashtags to find folks chatting about things you like. Than look up their profile pages and read through their posts to see if they might be a good follow for you.

Check out the profile of @realDDGlover for lists of Hashtags for interests. Just click ID and it will open on right-hand column. Scroll down through lists.

For those wondering why photos taken from a phone might be rotated incorrectly when posting:

CoSo strips all EXIF data while uploading (for your safety and privacy). Among other things, that data may include rotation info, and wiping that out may cause your photos to un-rotate. This is a known bug, on the list to be addressed down the line.

To correct in the short term, make a small edit to your photo of any type, save that copy, and upload again.

CoSo Tip

If you follow someone there is no implied "followback". Around here people follow who they wish.

Your "follower count" does not mean shit. Nobody is counting.

PS. if you wish someone to follow you, crack that egg, write a short bio. And post interesting stuff.

Both my kids are in college, different states, very different schools. Both got rid of masks in March, both are now canceling events and activities, virtual classes and pick up meals. So frustrating. This was completely predictable and avoidable. If we aren't going to protect students, why punish them when numbers go up? These kids only know they are + because the schools kept testing. Most are asymptomatic. Masks work!

@cmajuscula we tried, but we weren’t able to get one. We can stay home, so we are ok. I just wish we could make a more informed decision.

I think it’s the serendipity here, feels refreshing :)

@Dina_A thank you, we’ll be ok. It’s just with school it’s affects other people.

They’re ok, had a little fever and have been sleeping lots. But they’re ok. Again, vaccines work.

My teen has covid, so she’s isolating, another teen testing negative. School says negative test with a mask to go, so they go. I’m negative, but feel sick. Now reading many tests are working as well on some variants…I don’t know enough to make these decisions…just gonna scream into the void I guess. In a mask. Thankful for our vaccines.
