Not to intrude on your extensive free time, but if the first post people enter when they registered had a hashtag, like #NewCosonaut, then the rest of us could have a pinned column to make sure people get welcomed.

And that's one of the best things here.
Nobody cares how many people follow them.
We can switch from the Community Firehose to our more focused lists any time.
This lets us find new cool people when we want to engage, and also mellow down to our favourite peeps.

Follows are great, but you presumably don't want to be blocked or muted without even knowing why.
Coso is no bots, and everyone can see all your posts. So it's not like the birdsite.
You don't need to tell people here to vote ... repeatedly ... twenty memes in a row ... in currency-exchange yellow all-caps font. Tell us your original thoughts on your political interests instead.

You can't delete your twitter account, that option isn't really there. You can only deactivate the account.
If it stays deactivated for 30 days then the user name is released for somebody else to use (nic-jacking), but the data remains on the twitter servers.
Lock it and leave it dormant. So you can't be nic-jacked.
If you plant milkweed for monarch butterflies, the native species die back in fall. You should cut back the tropical kind, so it doesn't become a reservoir for deadly pests of monarchs.

"Let that sink in."
Interesting that Musk carried a sink into Twitter headquarters, presumably choosing his identity as someone on the autism spectrum as the part of himself he thought most important to represent at that moment.
(Referencing a meme that gets posted on autism groups, joking about taking language literally)

Good night everyone. And welcome to any new people I missed or who will be joining during the US night time hours.
We're not Twitter, and that's a good thing. Everyone one of your posts is seen in the Community Firehose by every single user. There's no algorithm looking at your follower count.
Best to join conversations with other users to get to know people.

^^ If you do flee the birdshitter, it's better if you don't delete your account. Why? Because someone else can claim your handle and pretend to be you. 😬
