Do you see someone here that is being consistently rude?

You definitely report that person.

They are in violation of the CounterSocial Terms of Service, which explicitly forbids abusive behavior. #CoSoTips

Fun Fact: CounterSocial has been banned from Facebook for at least three years. If you mention our name, your post will disappear.

But they can't do anything about you sharing this. #CoSoTips

Other socials might ban you or prevent you from posting if you add a link to us, but none of them can stop you from posting this media kit asset.

Facebook has been blocking links to us for years, but they probably can't block this picture if you wanted to share it with your friends. #CoSoTips

Yesterday, CounterSocial purged 24,928 accounts that were ostensibly established to carry out influence operations ahead of the 2024 elections.

Here is the total number of other social media sites who are taking similar precautions to protect their users from this ongoing threat to democracy. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial boasts a featureset that you will not find on any other social media site, and unlike them, treats safety and security like a sacred commitment to you.

Yes, you. Specifically.

It's been called the PBS of social media. Please consider going Pro if you can. #CoSoTips

Did you know that you can create TEMPORARY filters to hide content that you'd like to avoid for a limited amount of time? It's true!

If you want questions to @Alfred to go away for a week, the power is yours. #CoSoTips

https://counter.social/filters

Our intrepid AI assistant Alfred has been getting upgrades, and that has made him everyone's new favorite toy. It was the same when he was first created, but you can make him go away.

1. Mute @Alfred
2. Add a whole-word filter for the term "@Alfred" (For best results, Drop instead of Hide.)
3. Double-check to make sure that your filter does not contain a space.

These steps should have your timelines free from both Alfred inquiries, and his awesome replies. #CoSoTips

Filters can also be temporary, set to expire from "30 minutes" to "Never".

Use Filters if you'd rather not see queries made of our intrepid AI Alfred—or anything else that you'd rather not see. #CoSoTips

Did you know that you can use the "Drop instead of Hide" setting on new filters to omit filtered results from your timeline without displaying the "Filtered" placeholder?

It's true! #CoSoTips

We will never sell you. Ever.

That's one of many excellent reasons to consider going Pro.

Have you tried our swanky new "Simplified Mode"? This aptly named desktop feature is a lovely single-column layout that is super familiar and simple to use!

To turn it on, click on the CounterSocial logo then choose "Simplified Mode" from the main menu. #CoSoTips

This .gif is deliberately pretty annoying, but it's for a good cause. If you look really closely, you will see an eye icon in the top left corner.

Tap that, and the image is hidden.

Presto! That's one less annoyance in your day! #CoSoTips
