To be perfectly clear, there is no deliberation and no appeals process. Reported trolls disappear. Not days or weeks later, but immediately.

There's a long-running joke here that even mayflies marvel at the short lifespan of a CounterSocial troll. #CoSoTips

You probably already think that CounterSocial is super cool, but did you know that YOU have your very own Wall of Entropy? It's true! #CoSoTips

Are you worried about spamming potential followers with your erudite pontifications about all of the things you like?

One of the many Pro features can help with that. As a Pro user, you can set post visibility so that your finest thoughts don't spam the main timeline at all.

Seasoned users will make their first post public, and then delist their own replies. #CoSoTips

"This place looks like Mastodon... 🤔"

In the beginning, CounterSocial was a federated Mastodon instance just like any other. So what happened? Here's the history of how Mastodon broke their own license and forced us to fork them. #CoSoTips

You probably have an occasion that you celebrate in which gifts are exchanged.

That's what 500 server errors represent for us.

It means that we're getting new goodies from our founder. If you see one, take it a sign that it's time to re-up your favorite beverage and check back later. #CoSoTips

"Is it really worth it to go Pro?"

We're a little biased, but we sure think so.

CounterSocial is a social media oasis completely free from ads, trolls, bots, and abuse of any kind. Your personal information will never be sold, because you never gave it to us. Even Pro membership is handled via secure third-party payment processing.

Your Pro membership gives you a bevy of benefits you won't find anywhere else, while helping to keep us 100% community-powered. It's worth every penny. #CoSoTips

"Why are my pictures showing up sideways?!"

For your safety, CounterSocial automatically scrubs your media to remove all metadata—including orientation. You can fix this in one of two ways:

1. Make a minor edit to your picture (crop, resize, etc.) before uploading it here.
2. Take your photos in landscape orientation in the first place.

You probably already think that CounterSocial is cool, but have you checked out YOUR Wall of Entropy lately?

That's right. Yours. #CoSoTips

We don't have an Edit button, because what we have is even better. Click on the Post Options button on your own post, then hit Delete and re-draft.

Even free accounts have this awesome feature. #CoSoTips

That CounterSocial feeling. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial has seen a 20% increase in its user base in three days. We are experiencing as many 400 new accounts per hour. It is an insane amount of growth in a very short period of time.

If you were hanging out with a spinning atom for a minute, that's why. Please be patient. Good things take time. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial has three levels of difficulty:

1. Default Desktop mode. All of the bells and whistles.
2. Desktop Ostrich mode. Just the columns. (See below.)
3. Mobile mode. Streamlined for ease of use.

Pick the one that provides the best experience for you! #CoSoTips
