"CounterSocial should ADVERTISE!"

Probably, but that isn't really our style. We've spent over five years growing through simple word-of-mouth and it has created a downright awesome community.

That said, we are not above giving you everything you need to spread the good word. Here are some assets that may help. Our media kit may also be found below. #CoSoTips

"Soft mute" means that you won't see their posts unless they mention you. To turn it on, make sure the radio button is unchecked when muting a user. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial has no algorithm, which means it's on you to curate your experience. Add filters for topics you'd prefer not to see. Soft mute people who annoy you. Hard mute or block people who you find to be disagreeable and report anyone who is violating the terms of service.

Ours is a community. Keeping it that way takes effort on the part of each user, but it is well worth it. #CoSoTips

You can't post links to CounterSocial on Twitter, but you can probably post this cute picture of a cartoon gorilla named Gippy.¹

¹ At your own risk, because Elon Musk is very thin-skinned and will probably ban you for it. #CoSoTips

"Why are my pictures uploading sideways?"

Long version: CounterSocial has an embedded feature called the SANITIZER which scrubs your uploaded media of all metadata, including orientation. To fix it, make a minor edit to your photo before uploading. (Crop, resize, recolor, etc.) Or:

Short version: You're taking your photos with your device in the wrong orientation. #CoSoTips

Direct links to CounterSocial can no longer be posted to Twitter or Facebook. We suspect it's because their leaders are compensating for something very, very small.

If you'd like to tell your people there that you're now hanging out here, check our profile for a custom header and avatar, or share this image which is still allowed... for now. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial is not Mastodon. While we initially began as part of the fediverse, they forced us to hard fork them five years ago. We have since grown to become a feature-rich social media oasis that is unlike anything anywhere else, and we haven't looked back.
