CounterSocial has a unique culture that takes some getting used to. The biggest difference is that there are no algorithms of any kind.
What this means is that it is up to each individual user to curate their own social media experience here.
Put more bluntly, you are expected and encouraged to mute or block anyone that you find to be disagreeable. These acts are not contentious on CoSo. They are important tools that help you to make CounterSocial the best experience for you. #CoSoTips
Works great for me.
I like hanging out in the Firehose so as to meet new Nauts and to experience a wide variety of other people. I have muted or blocked a very small number of people. The occasional person speaking from having a bad usually reins themselves in (#VoluntaryDe-escalation) and often learns something in the process. Most folks here are great.
Trolls, however, go splat pretty fast. 🧌🦠
Great tools, great community, lovely folkx.
I love CoSo!

And I am grateful for those tools and for that ability. If not for those, I'd have lost my mind by now and either quit or gone elsewhere. Big thanks to J for helping us out!
