I am an artist, and part of social media for me is telling the world about my art. There are things that I have made that are for sale: prints, books and music. My sole purpose for being on #coso is not to sell things though, this is a great community with positive interactions and it is a nice place to be. That being said, I spent many years in other places and had no luck getting my message out. And after one day on coso someone bought one of my books. This place is magic.
If you hit the three dots under a toot, you can do all kinds of fun things, like mute people who talk about other websites for example :) (or just things you don’t want to see)
if we're new to a neighbourhood (especially if we arrive by the gazillions) and haven't contributed, we probably shouldn't complain while we learn the rules :) counter.social/userguide.pdf
When we left the house this morning there was a duck on our front loan. Just one, looked kinda young. I’m really hoping they’re our new neighbour ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because someone (totally me) hit snooze…this morning’s coffee is on the road. #caffeineclub
Good morning everyone :)

Like millions of others, Naomi Judd suffered from severe episodes of depression. Some will see her passing and think that if some one like Naomi Judd, who had access to the best mental health care, couldn’t beat those demons then there is no hope for them. If you take anything from this tragedy it’s to keep fighting. Ask for help. You don't have to suffer alone. If you are afraid to call the Suicide prevention hotline, maybe call a trusted friend to come sit with you or Zoom in while you call. 💙

PROTIP -
If the Firehose is too much, you can unpin it.
If a hashtag, word or phrase is annoying you, filter it.
If a person is annoying you, block them.
If you don't want to block them, mute them.
If you only want your friends to see your posts in feeds, set that as your default post privacy setting in your settings/preferences.
The tools are available for you to combine in your own way and make COSO your unique experience.

Hello all. I am an aspiring writer documenting my mad daydreams which tend to be a blend of SciFi and fantasy to varying degrees. I've a couple shorter stories(10k or less) I work on when the madness takes hold, and a rough draft of a book (about 60K, ok small book) that needs work, but I'm getting there. Thinking of actually letting someone read my work, I've started building a bit of an internet presence since noone knows I write at all 🙂
that content warning function is chefs kiss
